845 W Outer Drive

Some homes are renovated for the market. Others are renovated for the person who will live there. This charming Oak Ridge ranch received far more than a cosmetic makeover. The renovation reached into the bones of the home with new floor joists, new electrical wiring, new plumbing, a new kitchen, and new bathrooms, along with new cabinetry, soft-close drawers, lighting, flooring, and thoughtful finishes throughout. It is the kind of work you may not notice in a photograph, but it matters when you are choosing a home to call your own. Inside, approximately 1,400 square feet of single-level living offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with a bright, open layout centered around a spacious kitchen island. The updated kitchen flows naturally into the main living spaces, while the renovated bathrooms add a clean, modern feel without taking away the character that makes this home unique. And unlike many newer homes being built on increasingly tight lots, this one gives you something harder to recreate: space. Sitting on approximately 0.52 acres, the property offers a large yard, mature surroundings, and a wooded rear view that creates privacy and room to breathe. There is space to entertain, garden, play, let the dog run, or simply enjoy having a little separation from the neighbors. The setting feels tucked away, but the location is remarkably convenient. You are approximately 2.3 miles from Kroger and the heart of Oak Ridge, with easy access to shopping, dining, everyday conveniences, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. For a first-time buyer looking for something with personality instead of cookie-cutter construction, or someone ready to simplify into a comfortable ranch with main-level living, this home checks a lot of boxes. Updated where it matters. Full of character. Half an acre to make your own. Welcome home to 845 W Outer Drive.
