There's something a little different about 4217 Green Shanty Road. Custom built and tucked into a wooded setting in Ooltewah, this one-owner home has the warm, relaxed feel of a mountain cottage, along with a flexible floor plan that offers plenty of room for family and guests. Inside the main home, hardwood floors, tall cathedral ceilings and a row of upper windows fill the living area with natural light. A natural stone hearth anchors the room, complete with a gas stove that remains with the home but has not been connected to propane in several years. The living area opens to the kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances and easy access to the covered back porch overlooking the large backyard. The main home also includes a dedicated laundry room, with the washer and dryer remaining. The primary suite continues the cottage feel with cathedral ceilings and a private full bath. A second bedroom has its own access to the covered back porch and is convenient to another full bath. On the lower level, a spacious room connected to the main home includes a closet and direct access to the lower covered porch and backyard, giving you plenty of options for a den, office, game room or additional living space. What really sets this property apart is the separate lower-level mother-in-law space. Follow the stone pathway to its private entrance and you'll find a fully furnished living space with its own kitchen, full bath, bedroom, living area and built-in bookcases. It's a wonderful setup for extended family or guests who appreciate having additional privacy while still being close to the main home. Outside, approximately half an acre, two covered back porches and a generous backyard add to the peaceful setting, while the roof is approximately 10 years old. With its custom design and a floor plan that offers more flexibility than you typically find, 4217 Green Shanty Road is anything but cookie-cutter. Come see what makes this Ooltewah home so unique!
