Description

If these walls could only talk, the stories they would tell! Spend your time surrounded by Smokies history at this cozy cabin built of antique logs salvaged from settler cabins in the National Park. Perfect as a vacation home or primary residence, it is nestled into the hillside of a private peninsula lot in a neighborhood with zoning that does not allow nightly rentals, so your peace & quiet is protected! The great room has a lovely stack-stone woodburning fireplace with traditional hearth and hand-hewn mantle, hardwood floors, and a T&G plank ceiling. The kitchen area has updated appliances and white cabinets, and an adjoining dining area. The bedroom is very 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. Out back is a screened porch with swing & rockers for enjoying the view of Mt. LeConte, while in front a large patio deck is a great space for relaxing or entertaining, while the adjacent storage shed is perfect for your outdoor toys. 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, so you don't miss the chance to own your piece of Smokies history!
