Welcome to your treehouse sanctuary in one of the most desirable, convenient locations of Riverbend/Rocky Hill. Close to Lakeshore Park and a short backroad drive to everything you need in restaurants, pharmacy, groceries, gym, entertainment, and much more. Enjoy the benefits of this prime location while also saving thousands a year by not paying city taxes. The house sits on a peaceful, mature tree lot that was part of historic Duncan Farms. Most importantly this eclectic neighborhood has warm, kind, and conscientious neighbors who look out for one another and create a sense of safety and community. Within 10 to 20 minutes of most everything in Knoxville, this home has endless character and needs to be seen in person to genuinely appreciate. Step inside to a Great Room anchored by a striking double-sided stone fireplace with a hand-hewn wooden mantel and exposed beams -- many sourced from a historic Grainger County farm. Wide-plank hardwood floors flow throughout the main living areas, catching natural light from every angle. The gourmet kitchen is a true showstopper, with soaring 12-foot cathedral ceilings, custom cherry cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, a farmhouse porcelain sink, and stainless steel appliances -- including a brand-new stainless steel refrigerator. A generous wood-topped island creates the perfect gathering space, whether you're cooking for two or entertaining a crowd. French doors lead out to a light-filled screened porch, ideal for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Just off the main living space, a cozy library or sitting room offers a quiet escape, warmed by the same dual-sided fireplace. A charming powder room with shiplap walls and a vessel sink, plus a well-designed drop zone with cubby storage, round out the main level's thoughtful details. The main-level Primary Suite is a private sanctuary, featuring its own cathedral ceiling, an infrared fireplace heater, and access to a screened porch overlooking the wooded backyard. The spa-inspired en-suite bath has been recently elevated with a new soaking tub set on a tiled base, seamlessly integrated with the walk-in shower, dual custom vanities, and private water closet. Upstairs, a wood-trimmed staircase opens to a versatile family/media room with its own infrared fireplace heater -- perfect for movie nights or a playroom. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility: a second bedroom with a large en-suite bath (complete with a porcelain soaking tub and its own infrared fireplace heater), plus two additional bedrooms -- one of which easily flexes as a home office or workout room. One bedroom includes a private door to its own view deck. This level also walks out to a small deck with a hot tub pad, and stone steps lead down to the fenced backyard. Notable Recent Updates: Brand-new HVAC system, with maintenance included through 2028 (installed last October) New custom wood fencing enclosing the backyard and up the side yard, including a drive-through gate for vehicle access -- sturdy and secure for pets Basement support posts upgraded from steel to finished custom wood, plus a widened hallway transition for easier furniture moves and improved flow Electrical panel upgrade and plumbing repairs completed Main deck retrofitted and properly anchored to the home's structure Lower-level bedroom deck fully rebuilt after prior rot -- now secure and move-in ready Screened porch support posts upgraded to larger beams to properly reinforce the upper-level load Extra storage closets are tucked throughout the home, and every room reflects the same level of care and craftsmanship found in the finishes and architectural trim. This is refined, move-in-ready living in one of Bearden/Rocky Hill's most desirable pockets. Note: The Tonal home workout system is a personal installation and does not convey with the sale.
