Property Description

Surround yourself with Smokies history at this cozy cabin built of antique logs salvaged from settler cabins in the National Park. An ideal vacation home or primary residence, it is nestled into the hillside of a peninsula lot in a neighborhood with zoning that does not allow nightly rentals (30+ day rentals are allowed), so your peace & quiet is protected! The great room has a rustic stack-stone wood burning fireplace with traditional hearth and hand-hewn mantle, hardwood floors, a T&G plank ceiling, and a corner kitchen with white cabinets. The bedroom is spacious enough to hold a king bed on storage pedestal and a full bedroom set plus armoire without crowding. Behind the bedroom is a room that previously was the "jacuzzi room" but has now been reconfigured as sleeping space including a closet. A short hallway leads from the bedrooms back to the great room, with a bathroom with step-in shower on the left and a laundry room with full-size machines on the right. In back is a screened porch with swing & rockers for enjoying the view of Mt. LeConte, while in front the stone patio is a great space for entertaining. There is also a storage shed for your outdoor toys and stairs leading to the fenced yard your dog(s) will love it! There are numerous recent updates, including a new metal roof, fencing, stairs, HVAC, electrical service, and more. The lot is almost a half-acre, with mature trees, native rhododendron, and a detatched 2-car garage. Located near the Glades just 5 minutes off the East Parkway, the property enjoys city utilities as well as easy access to all our area has to offer ... request a showing now, don't miss your chance to own a piece of Smokies history!
