Smart updates. Flexible space. Real value. Welcome to 453 Independence Dr, a move-in-ready raised ranch in Kingsport's Bloomingdale area offering 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, remodeled living spaces, major system updates, and a convenient location at an approachable $250,000 price point. The home offers 2,304 total square feet, including 1,584 finished square feet and 1,152 square feet above grade, giving buyers room to live, work, relax, and store. Inside, fresh flooring, updated lighting, and new paint create a clean, modern feel. The remodeled kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless appliances, updated countertops, and easy access to the enclosed screened porch, a comfortable covered space for morning coffee, casual dining, plants, hobbies, or relaxing out of the weather. With 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, the layout works well for growing households, guests, remote work, or changing needs. The updated bathrooms add to the move-in-ready appeal, while the heated/cooled portion of the basement offers valuable flex space for a kids' play area, man cave, home office, workout room, media space, hobby area, or additional storage. The unfinished basement area adds more practicality with room for storage, workshop potential, or future-use possibilities. Behind the scenes, the expensive updates matter: all-new PVC plumbing, an updated septic system with all new field lines, and a brand-new water heater (installed July 2026) give buyers added confidence in the home's important systems. Outside, the mostly level 0.46-acre lot provides usable yard space, a gravel drive, and a peaceful setting while still keeping you close to everyday conveniences. Located near Downtown Kingsport, Stone Drive, shopping, dining, Holston Valley Medical Center, I-26, and regional Tri-Cities routes, this home offers practical access for commuting, medical services, errands, and everyday life. Not flashy, not overcomplicated, just a smart Kingsport home with the space, updates, flexibility, and location buyers are actually looking for. Schedule your showing today.
