The Piedmont Palm Bungalow! Stylish and well cared for, you will feel it when you see it! A statuesque palm tree and mature landscaping welcome you up the front steps. The main floor features wood floors, south-facing windows that emanate natural light throughout, a wood-burning fireplace, and a recently updated kitchen with quartz counters, newer cabinets, and the perfect window for plant lovers, all overlooking the front yard. Wherefore art thou, bedroom? The upper-level primary suite is complete with a full bath and Juliet balcony! Modern wallpaper and sconces add stylish detail. The knotty pine party basement is not to be missed - features tall ceilings, a bonus space/rumpus room with laundry, and an unfinished portion to use as you please. 95% efficient forced-air heat + central AC keep you cozy in winter and cool in the summer. The back patio is perfect for grilling & chilling, and there's enough emerald green grass for games, cartwheels, and four-legged friends to cavort. Low-maintenance landscaping looks good year-round! Detached garage provides additional storage for all your gear. Location is a dream! Just blocks to Peninsula and Farragut City Park, plus all the delights that Dekum and Kenton have to offer.
