Four generously sized bedrooms provide ample space, with two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom complete with a refurbished farm sink and hand-laid encaustic tile. A second full bathroom serves the fourth bedroom and guests alike, while the owner's suite features dual closets, including a spacious walk-in, and a sumptuous en suite with a refurbished clawfoot tub, dual-sink vanity, and a walk-in shower. This home's 2024 renovations have left no stone unturned. Along with the sleek new metal roof and closed-cell foam insulation, the updates include a privacy fence, new brick-inlay driveway with Tennessee river rock, upgraded electrical wiring, and a gutter system with leaf guards.
