158 Caldwell Road SE

The lot is the first thing you notice. Two hundred and twenty feet across, two hundred deep, level all the way, with grass running out to mature trees on every side. There is real distance between this house and the next one. The house itself is a single-level ranch from the early 2000s, brick and siding, sitting well back off the road. Somebody added on at some point, so there is more room inside than the shape of it suggests from the driveway - space that can be an office, a playroom, or somewhere for guests to stay without anyone tripping over anyone. The family room has a free-standing wood stove in it, which on a January evening in Bradley County is worth more than it sounds on paper. Out back there is a deck to sit on and a shed for everything that does not belong in the house. Public water, septic, a quiet street in Cleveland. It is vacant, so it is easy to see and easy to move into.
