One-of-a-Kind Passive Solar Home on Nearly 7 Acres in the County! Welcome to a truly unique property—Tennessee's very first passive solar house, nestled on almost 7 private acres of natural beauty. Thoughtfully designed by an architect, this home combines eco-conscious innovation with timeless charm and modern comforts. Step inside to a light-filled living space featuring a new wood-burning fireplace, custom kitchen cabinetry, granite countertops, and a charming kitchen office nook. The kitchen also features an induction/convection oven, a fridge purchased in 2021, and a beautiful kitchenette area perfect for entertaining. All kitchen and kitchenette appliances remain with the home for added ease. You'll enjoy the comfort of new LVP flooring, installed over brick in December 2024, along with a Nest thermostat and custom upgrades throughout—including a motorized blind system in the primary bedroom and a clever weighted blind system for skylights that operates with a garage remote control. The primary suite feels like a retreat, complete with a gorgeous soaking tub, walk-in tiled shower, and an impressive built-in closet system. The second bathroom features a tiled shower/tub combo right down the hall from the other two bedrooms. The laundry room is massive and the washer and dryer, purchased in 2017, will also stay. Outside, take in the serenity from your porch overlooking lush landscaping, mature apple and pear trees, and winding trails throughout the property. A cleared space at the top of the lot—currently home to a tetherball pole—is the perfect spot for a future shop or shed. The current owner has made countless improvements including a new roof in 2021, asphalt driveway in 2017, a full irrigation system, a porch addition in 2016, a security system installed in 2017, and even brought Comcast internet to the home when it previously wasn't available.
