1431 Remsen St, Alcoa, TN 37701 (MLS# 1301550)

Like a cast part formed from molten aluminum at the nearby Alcoa plants, this 1935 Springbrook cottage was shaped with purpose: to fit precisely into the community it was built to serve. Nearly a century later, that original intention still holds. And thanks to a thoughtful renovation, this home is more dialed-in than ever. Nestled along one of Springbrook's original streets, the house holds memories of the city's early days, back when the Aluminum Company of America built entire neighborhoods - with intention, emphasis on functionality and quality of construction. Nearly a century later, that thoughtful design still shows, and so does the care that's gone into bringing this home beautifully up to date. The cozy interior is marked by a fresh blend of old and new: original hardwood floors that have been lovingly refinished, paired with a fully remodeled kitchen showcasing bold green tile, sleek quartz countertops, and all new appliances. Both bathrooms have been reimagined with modern finishes, including one with a double-headed shower and stone floor that give boutique hotel vibes. A new HVAC and tankless water heater provide comfort wrapped in character. Outside, a wide, covered porch - a hallmark of homes from this era - stretches across the front of the home like a welcome mat to the neighborhood, perfect for slow mornings, evening chats, or waving to the neighbors as they take a daily stroll. And the real story here is location. From your front door, it's just a short walk to Springbrook Park, the community pool, or Alcoa City Schools. And it's just a quick drive to McGhee Tyson Airport and countless local restaurants. Whether you're heading to a game, a flight, or a dinner reservation, everything you need is right here. History, updates, location: this one checks all the boxes. Homes like this don't come along often, and, when they do, they don't last long.
