Welcome to 118 S Walker Lane, a beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in the heart of Oak Ridge's Historic Highland View neighborhood. Built in 1943, this home was part of one of the most secretive projects in American history—designed to house the scientists and families of the top-secret Manhattan Project during World War II. But don't let the history fool you—this isn't an old house full of old problems. From the curb to the back fence, every inch of this home has been thoughtfully updated to give you the peace of mind and comfort today's buyer deserves. With modern systems, stylish upgrades, and timeless character, this is a rare blend of past and present done right. The exterior has seen major improvements in recent years, including a metal roof, updated siding, added insulation, energy-efficient windows and exterior doors, and modern gutters—all contributing to long-term durability and low-maintenance living. Out back, a spacious deck with a built-in gate is ideal for pets or kids, and the near quarter acre lot offers plenty of space to relax, garden, or entertain. There's also a detached garage that was added just a few years ago, perfect for storage, a workshop, or the ultimate man cave or she shed. Inside, the sellers spared no expense. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile flooring, and upgraded cabinetry. You'll find Brazilian hardwood floors throughout the home, bringing richness and warmth to the space. The bathroom is completely redone, showcasing everything from the new vanity to the stylish shower/tub combo, fresh flooring, and custom wood accent wall, all pulled together with upgraded fixtures for a clean, elevated feel. The home also features a large laundry room that offers additional storage space, adding even more function to the thoughtful design. Additional recent upgrades include modern PEX plumbing, a hot water heater (2024), updated electrical, recessed lighting, and a ductless heating and cooling system that offers efficient, reliable comfort all year long. All of this, with no HOA, in a walkable location less than half a mile from local parks and just minutes to Oak Ridge's restaurants, shops, and schools. Whether you're a first-time buyer, an empty nester looking to downsize, or an investor searching for a low-maintenance addition to your portfolio—this home delivers. Book your showing today!
