Description

A one owner, non-smoker, no pets, custom designed and built home. First time advertised for sale. This home has been featured on the cover of Homes amp; Land magazine. That#039;s how special this property is. Gorgeous landscaping. Lots of curb appeal. All-brick low maintenance home. Enjoy Lake Life without worrying about painting/staining the exterior walls, overhangs, and eaves. And the cost that this adds to home ownership. The large, 65 foot/520 square feet, wrap-around, covered porch provides panoramic views of Cherokee Lake and the surrounding mountains. The views are breathtaking in summer. In fall when the leaves turn, and in winter when trees lose their foliage, and the views open up even more. The porch is angled eastwardly so sitting on the covered porch will allow you to enjoy sunrises. And, in the afternoons, shelter you from the heat of the day. The split, dual-driveway will take you to either the main level double-car garage (yes, a full size pickup truck will fit) or to the lower garage. Just this month, the entire driveway, over 6,000 square feet of area, has been freshly sealed and black topped in time for winter protection. The septic system has also been pumped. The owners are very hands on when it comes time to maintaining this property, and it shows. The second lower garage, 2347, is large enough for a car, or a bass boat, or a few jet skis, or a combination of all. And, it will still have plenty of storage space leftover. A bonus is that you can enter the finished section of the basement, without having to climb steps. As soon as you enter the house the quality of the 3/4 inch, nailed-down, true-oak hardwood floors is striking. The main level of the house has an open floor plan with 1,693 square feet of space allowing for family gatherings, enjoying media, and the warmth of the fireplace on cool nights. High-speed fiber internet for streaming, or for those of us that work from home, and cable service is available. The proximity of the island kitchen provides a place to grab a quick bite with the adjacent dining room allowing for family get-togethers and holiday celebrations. All three bedrooms and both bathrooms are on the main level. The laundry room is on the main level. Everything is on the main level. So, no steps to climb, all is easily accessible. The basement, as mentioned, can be entered from the lower garage. But if you don#039;t mind stairs, it can also be reached from the inside of the home. The basement is huge adding another 1,591 square feet of space, and it#039;s divided into three sections. The main section is finished with heating and air and carpeting. It is currently being used as a gathering place for the family, with a bedroom set up for overnight guests. A second section provides plenty of storage. And the third section contains the lower garage. The home sits on a dead-end street, perfect for walking, strolling, bike riding, with very little drive by traffic to crowd the road. This lakeview property is not lakefront, but you can WALK down the street to Cherokee Lake. And within 9 miles you can find 8 boat launch sites and 5 marinas to keep your boat year-round. Cherokee Dam, with year-round facilities for unloading your boat, parking, grilling stations, a public beach, restrooms, pavilion, and campground is less than 9 miles. See accompanying photos.
