Welcome to 801 Ridgecrest Road, an idyllic, one-level, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath retreat nestled in Johnson City, recently named the #1 best place to live by USA Today, with its great healthcare and schools. Located just minutes from ETSU, James Quillen Medical Center, hiking trails in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Pine Oaks Golf Course, and with convenient access to I-26, this home is less than an hour from Asheville, NC, and two hours from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The true value of this property lies in its nearly 5 acres of entirely landscaped, level grounds, featuring Japanese Maples, Evergreens, English Ivy, hedges, and a variety of foliage. The landscaping creates a private, park-like atmosphere, completely shielding the home from the road. A barn, greenhouse, and koi pond offer space for gardening and peaceful relaxation. Perfect for hosting, the property provides ample parking, with a driveway and two-car garage that leads into the full basement. Over the years, this home has been the setting for weddings, reunions, graduations, and celebrations. Inside, the spacious layout spans over 5,000 square feet of hardwood floors, and opens into a cozy front room with built-in bookshelf and gas fireplace, a formal dining room, and a bonus room that can serve as a fifth bedroom or be remodeled into a larger space. The kitchen features granite countertops, hardwood cabinets, and an island, with views into the great room. Vaulted ceilings and large windows flood the space with natural light, and the wrap-around deck and patio are perfect for outdoor entertaining. Pocket doors lead to a private office or bedroom with a jack-and-jill half bathroom. The master suite offers a luxurious soaker tub, vintage built-ins, and a gas fireplace. There truly is no other property as magical as this one. You have to see it for yourself to believe it. Schedule your showing today! Buyer/buyers' agent to verify all info contained herein.
