Premier Home in Desirable Wassona Park! Welcome to this exceptional ranch-style home nestled on a private one-acre lot in one of Marion's most sought-after neighborhoods. Enjoy breathtaking views of Mt. Rogers through the living room's expansive picture windows, while being just minutes from Hungry Mother State Park, the Emory & Henry School of Health Sciences, downtown Marion, shopping, dining, and the Farmers Market. Originally built in 1946, this beautifully maintained home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates, including a new roof, HVAC system, Generac generator with transfer switch that will power 90% of the house including natural-gas boiler heat, refrigerators; restored hardwood floors, and tasteful renovations completed in 2015. Designed for comfortable one-level living, the home also features an accessible entrance, making it ideal for a variety of lifestyles. The spacious floor plan offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, including two private en-suite bedrooms on opposite ends of the house, multiple living areas, a large upstairs bedroom/bonus room with storage, a convenient laundry/utility room with more storage, and the charming "Creative Cottage"—a finished flex space off the garage that's perfect for a home office, studio, or hobby room. The updated chef's kitchen opens to a large covered patio, creating the perfect space for entertaining. Outdoors you'll also find a new driveway, beautiful landscaping, a custom-built storage barn, and a welcoming fire pit—all surrounded by the privacy of a picturesque one-acre lot. Unique details set this home apart, including reclaimed barnwood in the den, two natural-gas fireplaces, a historic mantel handcrafted from 120-year-old antique trim salvaged from a Smyth County home, and marble flooring reclaimed from Marion's historic Yellowstone Mansion. Homes offering this combination of location, craftsmanship, accessibility, privacy, and modern updates rarely become available. A rare opportunity to own!
