448 Tortoise Way There is something especially appealing about this home the moment you arrive. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a .44-acre homesite, it offers a quiet, private setting with a beautiful wooded backdrop, yet without the upkeep of a heavily wooded lot. This new 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers approximately 1, 864 square feet of comfortable one-level living with a thoughtful split-bedroom floor plan. A true foyer creates a welcoming sense of arrival and opens into a spacious great room with a tray ceiling, fireplace, warm wood mantel, and plenty of natural light. The kitchen is bright and classic with white cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, black fixtures and hardware, and a large island with room for seating and everyday workspace. The adjoining dining area is generously sized for both casual meals and family gatherings. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, with ceramic tile in the baths. There is no carpet anywhere in the home. The primary suite is privately located on one side of the house and includes a tray ceiling, direct access to the covered rear porch, and a large walk-in closet with built-in shelving. The primary bath features double vanities, a tiled shower with glass enclosure, separate soaking tub, and abundant natural light. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the opposite side of the home, along with a separate powder room for guests and a dedicated laundry room. The covered rear porch may be one of the best features of the home. It overlooks the peaceful wooded setting and offers a wonderful place for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the quiet. Additional details include crown molding, recessed lighting, substantial trim, solid closet shelving, an attached two-car garage, and an attractive brick and vertical-siding exterior. Built by a local builder with more than 30 years of experience in Northeast Tennessee, this home offers the craftsmanship, thoughtful details, and lasting support that come from working with people who live and build in the community. Beautiful without being fussy, private without feeling isolated, and designed for easy one-level living, this is simply a lovely place to call home.
