If you have been priced out of every updated house on the market and would rather put your money into something solid and make it your own, this one is worth a look. It is a brick basement ranch on 1.15 acres just outside Morristown, in Hamblen County, with a newer metal roof, an attached carport, and most everything you need on one level. Three bedrooms, a bath and a half, a big eat-in kitchen with room for a real table, and a living room full of windows that pull in the afternoon light. There is hardwood under the carpet, so the good floors are already there waiting for you. The land is what sets it apart. The yard is level, green, and fenced, with a couple of outbuildings and an old barn for storage, a workshop, a garden, or a few animals. Out back it opens up to trees and rolling pasture, the kind of quiet you feel the second you pull into the driveway. Downstairs, the unfinished basement gives you laundry hookups, garage space, and plenty of room to grow into. This is a home that has been well cared for and built to last, just waiting for cosmetic updates in your taste instead of someone else's. Why pay $400K for a finished house when you can buy this one at $250K and make it exactly what you want? You are minutes from town, an easy drive to both Cherokee and Douglas Lakes when you want the water, and minutes from the interstate if you commute. Your chance to own an affordable piece of East TN
