If you have been looking for a little peace and quiet without disappearing too far from civilization, this one might be exactly what you have been waiting for. Tucked away in a quiet Dunlap setting with BEAUTIFUL views, this well kept 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home sits on a large, fully fenced lot while still being only about five minutes from town, shopping, and restaurants.
Inside, the home offers comfortable one level living with a practical and inviting layout. Two bedrooms are conveniently located off the main living areas, while a step down leads into the large primary bedroom, giving it a little extra separation and plenty of room to make it your own.
But the backyard may quickly become your favorite part. Step outside onto the spacious back deck, grab a cup of coffee, and take in those gorgeous Sequatchie Valley surroundings. With plenty of room to entertain, grill, or simply sit and enjoy the view, this is the kind of outdoor space that deserves to actually be used.
The large, fully fenced yard offers plenty of space for pets, playtime, gardening, or whatever else you have in mind. There is also a large storage shed ready for lawn equipment, tools, hobbies, or all the things you swear you are going to organize one day.
Quiet surroundings, beautiful views, a spacious lot, and just minutes from the heart of Dunlap. This home has been very well cared for and is ready for its next chapter.
