3866 Legends Way, Maryville, TN 37801 (MLS# 1313939)

This house may not be the actual home of the fountain of youth, but don't tell its current owner that...he was still suiting up as the oldest collegiate basketball player in history at the fresh, youthful age of 73! And, like him, this all-brick Maryville City home is classic, with a simple elegance of function that never goes out of style. Set in what was once a golf course community, the fairways are long gone but the green space lingers. So, while other neighborhoods are packed tight with postage-stamp lots, this one still has wide open swaths of land tucked between rows of houses — creating de facto backyards that no developer can touch. Royal Oaks remains popular for that very reason, and it doesn't hurt that you can be at Walmart, Aldi, or a half-dozen restaurants (from local flavors like Gondolier and Las Margaritas to chains like McDonald's) in less than a mile. Inside, you'll find nearly 2,400 square feet of single-level living with hardwoods running through the main floor, tile in the wet areas, and fresh carpet on the stairs and bonus room. The layout gives you three bedrooms on the main level in a split-bedroom arrangement, a large master suite, formal dining plus a breakfast nook off the kitchen, and granite countertops with upgraded cabinetry. Out back, a screened-in patio looks over that former fairway full of peaceful greenspace for your enjoyment during your morning coffee or quiet time. And about that 'bonus room'...with a closet already in place, it works perfectly as a flex space but is functionally a fourth bedroom. The two-car garage includes a dedicated storage room, and the driveway sits just before a speed bump — so you'll never have to cross it, but no one will be speeding past your house either. Well maintained and in an unbeatable location, 3866 Legends Way is the kind of house that meets every need and checks all the boxes. Come see for yourself!
