A RARE and REFINED offering in Sequoyah Hills. Tucked along a quiet street, this exceptionally well-maintained, turnkey home delivers a combination of space, function, and privacy that is seldom found in this established neighborhood. Featuring five bedrooms, three full baths, a main-level primary suite, two-car garage, walkout unfinished basement, abundant storage, and main-level laundry, the layout is designed to support both daily living and long-term flexibility.
A double deck overlooks a protected bird sanctuary, creating a peaceful backdrop, a remarkable sense of seclusion and permanent protection from future development. Inside, the original 1950 cottage seamlessly transitions into a thoughtfully executed 1992 restoration and expansion. A welcoming fireplace anchors the main living space, while the generous family and dining areas offer an ideal setting for gatherings or relaxed evenings at home.
The floor plan provides multiple options for home offices, creative studios, fitness space, or guest accommodations--adapting easily to today's evolving lifestyle needs. A charming interior passage between two bedrooms and a tucked-away bonus retreat add character and versatility. The unfinished walkout basement offers substantial storage for outdoor gear, recreational equipment, or future expansion.
Recent improvements include REFINISHED HARDWOODS on the main level, NEWLY INSTALLED HARDWOODS upstairs, new PRIMARY BEDROOM CARPET, FRESH INTERIOR PAIN throughout, UPDATED LIGHTING and HARDWARE, TWO NEW LENNOX HVAC's and a whole-house GENERATOR--all allowing for immediate enjoyment. In 2018 all BATHROOMS were updated and enhanced, and in 2012 the kitchen was updated with new appliances, solid-surface counters and new flooring.
The home's structural integrity and craftsmanship are equally impressive. In 1992, respected local builder Paul Smiddy restored and expanded the residence, adding the spacious rear addition, main-level primary suite, and upper-level bedrooms and bonus room. The addition was constructed with footers twice the required depth and joists placed 12 inches apart (versus the standard 16 inches). Around 2001, A1 Stucco enhanced the exterior stucco system to meet updated standards; the stucco is approximately two inches thick--double typical applications--and has been consistently maintained. In 2011-12, an additional cement coat and specialty paint was applied to the entire exterior, as well as a new roof and gutters. A 2026 report from TN Building Moisture and Analysis Inc. confirms the stucco remains in superior condition, contributing to insulation performance and low-maintenance living (In MLS Documents Tab).
