About this home

Eight minutes from Oak Ridge while feeling a world away! Set on 2.75 picturesque acres, 144 Center Valley Road is the kind of property that makes you slow down when you pull into the driveway. Trees, open space, an unobstructed view from the covered porch, and a beautifully built log cabin where the logs were stacked with remarkable care...without a screw or nail holding them together. There is craftsmanship here you can feel. Step inside to an open main level where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together naturally. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on this level, while a breezeway connects the home to a true two-car garage with soaring vaulted ceilings, giving you serious space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, tools, bikes, kayaks, or whatever life in East Tennessee brings with it. Upstairs, the home becomes more private. A loft-style office creates a dedicated place to work, read, or create before leading into the primary suite with its own en suite bath and tiled soaking tub. But one of the most interesting parts of this home may be downstairs. The partially finished basement has its own private exterior entrance, separate driveway, full bathroom with tiled walk-in shower, and plumbing already in place for a kitchenette. Finish it as guest quarters, multigenerational living, a private workspace, additional living space, or explore the possibility of an ADU. Buyer to verify intended use, permitting, and applicable requirements. (Concept photos have been included to help buyers envision the basement completed using the flooring already provided with the property; these images are AI-generated representations and the space is currently partially finished). Outside? 2.75 acres to breathe. Coffee on the covered porch. Room between you and the neighbors. Space for a garden, projects, pets, hobbies, or simply a quieter way to end the day. All of that and Oak Ridge is approximately eight minutes away. This is for the buyer who wants more room inside and outside, who appreciates authentic craftsmanship, and who wants the peace of a country setting without giving up everyday convenience, this one is worth experiencing in person. Come walk the property, stand on the porch, and see why photos only tell part of the story. Attend the open house or schedule your private showing today.
