Welcome to 220 Oak Road in charming Norris, TN. This house began its life like it's Oak Road neighbors as a two story cinderblock construction house but has a few delightful differences. First of all is it's unique setting: the end house of a set of five with an enchanting 'courtyard' in the middle.
This also sets up an expansive back yard with plenty of room for kids, pets, gardens... Whatever your ideal back yard contains. Additionally, this house has an expansive addition on the back with a unique bay window design that lets abundant light in to the dining/living room downstairs and primary bedroom upstairs.
Downstairs, the original part of the house features a living room with a masonry fireplace (currently appointed with gas logs), a dining room (parlor, breakfast room, office?), and the kitchen which was remodeled in 2016 (refrigerator replaced in 2022).
Upstairs we have two bedrooms and a bathroom with a walk-in shower with fold-up seat along with the primary suite in the addition. Some notable features are the new HVAC system with gas heat that was replaced over the summer along with all the duct work, PEX plumbing redone two years ago, a new conveying washer and dryer, and a tankless water heater.
Outside you'll find a very handy covered patio, a detached garage with generous workshop/storage space and a deck, and a freshly graveled driveway in that big back yard. Of course, included with all this you get the incredibly charming town of Norris and all the wonders that surround it.
Paramount of these wonders is the adjacent Norris Watershed, a 2,400 acre sanctuary of nature with miles and miles of trails to explore. There's also Norris Dam State Park and Big Ridge State Park, both within a 20 minute drive. Additionally, the Clinch River and Norris Lake provide world class fishing and boating with multiple public access ramps and marinas minutes away.
With easy access to I-75, downtown Knoxville is at hand in about 25 minutes. If you don't already know, the City of Norris is an absolute treasure. Created by TVA in a European Garden Community design, the streets flow with the contours of the land with houses placed just so and sidewalks everywhere, all leading to the town center with its post office, library, restaurants, etc.
and the Norris Commons where the town comes together for Norris Day (July 4), Winter Festival, summer Concerts on the Commons, farmers market, etc. Check out for more info. It won't take long to see why residents say the best thing about living in Norris is... living in Norris!
