Single Family Residence in Kingsport, TN

Welcome to 653 Murrell Road, a unique single-story ranch home offering 1,728 finished square feet on a nearly 1-acre lot in Kingsport. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a flexible layout, this property is ideal for buyers seeking privacy, usable land, and space for hobbies, storage, or creative living. The home features easy one-level access, a spacious floor plan, and the kind of flexibility that is increasingly hard to find. Originally a single-wide manufactured home, the home has been built around and expanded with site-built construction, resulting in a unique layout with added space and versatility. The property is currently insured as a single-family home rather than as manufactured housing, which may be a meaningful benefit for some buyers. Inside, the layout includes multiple flexible-use spaces, a utility room, built-in features, laminate and vinyl flooring, and a functional kitchen with stainless appliances, a separate pantry, and an additional pantry room near the mud room for extra storage and organization. A large 12' x 60' shop/workshop area adds exceptional space for projects, equipment, crafts, storage, or work-from-home flexibility. The interior also offers additional bonus space that can support a variety of needs, including hobby use, exercise space, media setup, guest overflow, storage, or creative work areas. Outside, the property continues to stand out with a covered front porch, circular driveway, carport spaces, and multiple outbuildings including a greenhouse and storage shed. The nearly 1-acre level lot offers room to garden, relax, expand your outdoor living, or explore homestead potential, with third-year fruit trees, pear trees, figs, and berry bushes including blackberries, blueberries, grapes, loquats, and strawberries already in place. Practical features including a metal roof, public water, septic system installed in 2022, and a new heat pump installed in August 2025 add everyday value and peace of mind. Low county taxes are another major advantage, with the current annual tax bill at just $272. Located less than 2 miles from Cherokee Rod and Gun Club, less than 8 miles from Laurel Run Falls, and about 2 miles from Cafe 93, a local favorite for breakfast and lunch, this property offers a balance of privacy, utility, and convenient access to local recreation and dining. Between the exceptionally low taxes, reasonable insurance, and attractive price point, 653 Murrell Road offers a rare opportunity for affordable homeownership without giving up space, flexibility, or usable land. Whether you are downsizing without giving up elbow room, looking for a private home base, or searching for a property with workshop space, outbuildings, and homestead potential, 653 Murrell Road offers a rare combination of function, flexibility, and affordability.
