446 Tinker Ave

Almost a quarter acre this close to Downtown Vinton is hard to find--especially with a garage nearly the size of the house, a fenced backyard, and Glade Creek across the street. And it's all for $200,000.

Beyond the house, the fenced backyard feels like its own little oasis. There's room to garden, and the low decks are ready for patio furniture or a pool setup, with plenty of space for a fire pit and more. Tucked into the backyard is a second building with flexible space for an office, creative studio, or hobby room on one level, plus a lower level with built-in shelving for extra storage.

Then there's the garage. Nearly as large as the house, it offers an abundance of space, a two-car carport, a separate workshop area, and plenty of parking out front.

Inside, the one-level 2-bedroom, 1-bath home was thoughtfully updated in 2025, with improvements including flooring, mini-splits, water heater, kitchen, bathroom, and light fixtures. The kitchen features new cabinets, stone countertops, stainless appliances, and open shelving. A separate laundry room with storage sits just off the kitchen, while the room on the other side offers flexibility for a pantry, drop zone, or pet space with its existing dog door.

Start your morning with coffee on the covered porch overlooking Glade Creek. End the day out back by the fire. And when you need another cup, RND Coffee in Downtown Vinton is just minutes away.
