Property Description
There's something special about a home with history, and this charming 1938 Alcoa cottage has plenty of it. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers the character of an older home paired with thoughtful updates and a comfortable, functional layout. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, and a cozy gas-log fireplace that adds warmth and character to the living space. The spacious kitchen features white cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of storage, while the adjoining dining area is surrounded by windows and filled with natural light. Both bedrooms offer comfortable living space and ample storage, and the conveniently designed laundry and half-bath area makes excellent use of the home's square footage. Outside, a welcoming covered front porch adds to the home's classic cottage appeal, while the long driveway and covered parking provide plenty of off-street parking. Full of charm and situated in a convenient Alcoa location, 879 Birch Street is an inviting place to call home--whether you're purchasing your first home, looking to downsize, or simply searching for a home with character that you won't find in new construction.
