FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET by original owner: A lovely three-story Cape Code home on 3/4ths acre wooded lot in a highly sought neighborhood. This home is freshly painted, clean and ready for occupancy. The master bedroom is located on the main level and has a private bath with tile tub/shower surround. His and her walk-in closets with lots of shelving are also featured. There are two large private upstairs bedrooms which would be perfect for children or guests. Both are carpeted and each has an individual bath with fiberglass shower. There is also a separate guest powder room on the main level. The large family room has a gas/wood fireplace and cabinets on each side of the fireplace. The cabinets have shelves for displaying mementos or books and also shelves with doors for games, pictures albums, crafts, etc. There is also a matching corner cabinet with display shelving above and doors below. The living room (ideal for a formal dining room) has large windows opening onto a dramatic view of the woodlands. There are built-in shelves with a main staircase ascending from the marble foyer. The staircase is trimmed in oak with white spindles. The dining area, which is separated from the kitchen by a side breakfast bar, has hardwood flooring and includes windows opening onto the view of the woods and a door opening onto the elevated deck and gazebo. The larger window features a built-in window seat. The kitchen also has hardwood flooring, painted cabinets, tile countertops, working-surface island, stainless steel sinks, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, and a built-in desk/office area with a 10 color TV included. All appliances are included. The kitchen window opens onto the gazebo and bird feeder which is very active. All major appliances are warranted by the seller for one year. The lower level is open from the kitchen area making it a fully functioning part of this home. It includes a carpeted room that is ideal for a den, an exercise room, a childrens play room and/or an office area. It features a beautiful arched brick fireplace which is designed for a decorative wood or gas free-standing stove (e.g. Vermont Castings). There is also a large storage closet that is great for card table/ chairs etc. The balance of the lower level is a traditional basement (about 700 square feet) which is sealed with Drylock and has never had a hint of moisture. It contains a large workbench would be excellent for crafts or a shop. The house has a hardwired security system by ADT. There is a split unit central heat and air. The AC is electric and heat and water heater are natural gas. There is a large separate two-car garage that is accessed from the house by a lovely covered walk designed to match the elevated deck and gazebo. The garage has been roughed-in for plumbing so that the huge open storage area overhead could easily be converted to living space, guest room, etc. Storage! Storage! Storage! Possibly the best feature of this house besides the location is the extensive number of storage spaces. There is a large unfinished (but carpeted) room upstairs (approximately 450 square feet) for storage, and each upstairs bedroom has a large closet space plus alcove areas accessible by separate entries. There is also a large linen closet on the main level, a small convenient room off the kitchen area that serves well for a freezer and extra kitchen appliances, and would also be a perfect place to store daily toys not in use, a laundry room with built-in shelves for cleaning supplies and a large pantry, a large storage closet in the dining area plus the basement and over-garage areas previously mentioned. There is also a coat closet adjacent to the foyer. Outside features include intermittent creek spanned by a quaint arched bridge, private landscaped and bricked meditation area, large elevated deck (lower portion covered in English ivy) with gazebo, trellis and arched door covered in ivy, a large built-in potting (gardening) bench underneath the deck. The area has a perfect growing environment for impatiens and natural ferns. The yard is very low maintenance with a combination of landscaping, rock, ivy and mulch. Native flora in the adjacent woods includes ferns, redbud, white dogwoods, hardwoods, etc. The neighborhood is quiet and private but only a five-minute drive from downtown Cookeville and Interstate 40.

Nashville is an hour and ten minutes to the west, Knoxville is an hour and twenty minutes to the east, and Chattanooga is one hour and thirty minutes to the south.
