    "We purchased this home with the thought of "This is the perfect place to retire!". Lives change and children move on...they are all moving west! Time to relocate! Great area, residential and business. Friendly, caring community throughout Knox County...with a fabulous historic downtown just 5 minutes away. Large amount of art and entertainment organizations, good shopping and restaurants available with family friendly events regularly through the year...especially in the SPring and Summer months."
