Welcome to 138 Crescent Road in gorgeous, historic Norris! This home is move-in ready, elegantly appointed, and exceedingly easy to live in. This is one of a few houses in Norris built with locally made bricks providing both beauty and minimal maintenance requirements. From the covered front porch you can enjoy the shady front yard on a quiet road in this picturesque town. Inside the house you'll find that old world charm mixed with abundant natural light and an invitingly functional layout. The main floor of the house features a remarkably comfortable living room with the charm of its wood burning fireplace and original built-in bookshelves. Flowing out of the living room is the gleaming, sunny kitchen with its gas stove and sparkling light surfaces- a delight to cook in. Off the kitchen is the formal dining room with French doors leading to the back deck/yard. Wrapping up the lower floor is a bedroom where you'll also find the laundry facilities (washer and dryer do convey) and on-demand gas water heater hidden in the closet as well as a full bathroom. Upstairs you come upon an airy common area which splits off into two generously sized bedrooms and a gorgeous bathroom with a walk-in shower. The dormers upstairs provide not only tons of light but a very eye-catching, unique design. In the back of the house is the partially fenced in yard with a very cozy pergola covered deck. The rest of the private back yard has plenty of space for gardening as well as a very rare find in an original Norris house- a 30' x 23' detached garage. The garage has a new electrical sub panel making it a breeze to install an EV charger. Some functional notes- the roof is six years old and the zoned HVAC system was installed in June of this year. Of course, included with all this is all that the town of Norris provides- sidewalks everywhere, community schools and library, tons of organized activities for all ages, recreational facilities, world class fishing and boating in Norris Lake and the Clinch River, and the pièce de résistance, the Norris Watershed- 2,300 acres of undeveloped woods, filled with miles of multi-use trails, directly adjoining the city. With easy interstate access, downtown Knoxville is a mere 25 drive, remaining completely accessible while you live in absolute peace and harmony with East TN nature. If you don't already know, come find out why the best thing about living in Norris is.... living in Norris!
