General Overview

Dollywood, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, the Smoky Mountains, all within an hour and best of all, Knoxville itself, which has/is becoming a hub of things to do!

The Space

My home is a remodeled split level with high quality LVP throughout and plush carpet on the stairs.  There are four bedrooms and two and a half baths, the half bath/laundry on the bottom (garage) level I'm using as the game room/a wonderfully cozy space with a queen bed for a completely private fourth bedroom.  I've tucked a full size mattress under that bed to pull out as well as a blow up queen size mattress with sheets also stored in the basement closet to easily sleep a large group.  A powerful mini split was installed Aug '25 to make for comfort year-round!  New Pella sliding glass doors to get to the huge shaded concrete patio with a round hanging cushioned swing, a porch style swing, two swivel rocking chairs, and a relaxing, colorful, ultra comfortable Yellowtree hammock.  A glass door fridge/cooler will keep your drinks nice and cold.  Plenty of outdoor games with ladder golf, tiki toss, cornhole, ring toss, and a giant Connect 4, and a badminton/volleyball net (stored in garage) that takes minutes to set up.  Sit at the propane powered table on chilly nights with a hot drink or use the fire pit in the yard for some real heat!  A Pit Boss pellet grill is located on the upper deck; I use the sunroom floor outlets to power it.  There's also a freestanding patio heater up on the top deck that's available from October through March.  In 2023 I added a cocktail pool, 8' round and 2' deep with a sand filter.  Perfect to float and cool off in, safe and fun for kids of almost any age to play! I've turned my backyard into a mini resort, spending hours out there every day.  A small smart TV is up from spring through fall.  Feel free to help yourself to huge blackberries, they're sweet and delicious.  Solar lights surround you at night, adding to the tropical feel.

Beautiful .4 acre yard, the back completely fenced in, perfectly flat and nicely landscaped with a large garden area full of flowers that I'm always adding to.  On the main level of the house, open concept kitchen with granite counters and newly painted, sparkling white cabinets.  All the typical equipment, plus a Sonic-esque GE ice maker that's great for parties. Spacious master bedroom with en suite, along with two other bedrooms that share a hall bath; both baths have a large walk-in shower. 

Connecting to the dining room is an all-glass sunroom.  It has its own mini split AC system installed as of September 2022; it heats and cools to whatever it's set to, getting to your preferred temp in minutes.  The sunroom leads to the deck with an outdoor couch, chairs, and large umbrella, with virtually complete privacy looking over the lush backyard.  

Game room consists of smart TV, Pac-Man Arcade1Up 12 in 1 machine with a ton of fun 1980s throwbacks, light up dartboard, and PlayStation 2 with dozens of options provided to try your hand at, plus a mini fridge, or play some old school games on my retro console system with NES/SNES/Sega; it's such a fun trip back in time!  I have Sonic 1 and 2 along with Super Mario 1, 3, and Super Mario World and slowly adding as I go.

Master bed has a king firm Beautyrest mattress; the office/bedroom has a new full sized bed complete with a new gel mattress as of spring 2026.  Smaller guest room has a twin sized bed with 10" gel mattress.   All rooms have a smart TV.  99% blackout curtains are in the master and pink guest room for a restful night's sleep.

I am pet-friendly, even cats would be welcome, so long as they're litter box trained.  For dogs, I have a kiddie pool and a hose for the hot days, and mine loved the sunroom in the cooler months with the sun beating in.  Plenty of treats and toys as well.

I also work from home, which means I have really fast wi-fi, with a nice desk and ability to connect directly to the net. *Smoking is okay, but only outside.*

**Major holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas will be considered by special request only, as I depend heavily on others during that time!**

***There is a tiered cleaning fee for Globe or Pluto exchanges.  $50 for two people, $75 for three to four, and $115 for five or more.***

Guest Access

There are two floors, split level house.  Parking can be done off street or in the extra roomy driveway.  Will make my garage/opener available for longer stays.

Notes

Randomly, my living room TV screen will have a pop up message that says to delete an app for storage or to cancel that choice.  I always cancel; it's done it for years.  No idea why, but a small annoyance perhaps!

Neighbourhood

Walking and bike friendly, great for exercise and very quiet.  I'm on a cul-de-sac, which reduces car and people noise.

Getting to my home

TYS airport is about 30 minutes away.  I'm very central to many southeastern/midwestern states, using interstates 40, 75, 275, and 81.

Nearest airport

McGhee Tyson is our main airport.

Getting Around

You'll need a car to get most places, but for recreational purposes, I have very nice roads in my neighborhood and several parks within a few miles for exercise and strolling/biking.

Looking to expand my horizons and experiences! I enjoy traveling solo, just me, no pets, or I travel with my friend from Chattanooga and/or I try to include my sister and her husband and two kids with prior approval, if there's room.
