Why choose between small town charm and big town benefits? This home perfectly blends classic craftsmanship with modern convenience. Nestled on over a third of an acre, the property features large rooms, real hardwood floors, and a private yard, offering the space and quality often missing in newer builds. The main level boasts an open floor plan with locally milled hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and large windows that provide a stately atmosphere. The updated kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops, and a custom tile backsplash, offering views of the wrap-around back porch and private rear yard. The spacious great room, centered around a stone hearth and fireplace, is ideal for hosting large gatherings. Upstairs, you will find four generous bedrooms, including a primary suite. An additional full bathroom on this level provides convenient access to the laundry room. The seasonal closet allows for orderly storage of holiday decor. Located in a peaceful setting near the James County Courthouse, this home is just steps away from the Whistlestop Cafe and the charm of old town Ooltewah. You can enjoy a quiet retreat while remaining only minutes away from the modern amenities of the Ooltewah retail district bustling with shopping and dining options.
