About This Home

Where lake days become traditions, just a golf cart ride to Shanghai Marina! Minutes from Norris Lake access, this Cape Cod was made for bringing people together. With 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 3000+ sqft, and a large basement on 1.11 acres with no restrictions - this home sits at the crossroads of everything people love about East Tennessee. The floorplan provides defined living areas and generous square footage across each of the three levels. The home has gone through extensive updates, including a new electric heat pump HVAC, new water heater, hardwood flooring throughout the main level, all new carpet upstairs, and numerous cosmetic improvements throughout. The lower level has been transformed into usable flex space, and the added basement-level garage is convenient for a golf cart, side-by-side, or jet skis. The primary bedroom is located on the main level and includes an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanity sinks. An additional guest bedroom, second full bathroom, and a laundry room are conveniently located on the main level. With nearly 2000 sqft, this floor also has a formal dining room, sunroom, kitchen, and multiple living areas. A stone fireplace anchors the living room, and the kitchen has abundant cabinet storage with wraparound counters. Upstairs offers even more space with added separation. You'll find another primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, plus two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. New carpet and neutral paint throughout the upper level give a fresh, updated finish. The huge basement adds flexible space for a game room, movie room, hobby area, storage, or simply more room to spread out. The basement-level garage makes it easy to store your outdoor toys, boating equipment, tools, or seasonal items. Outside, the home has a large covered front porch with porch swings, a flat front yard that sets you back from the road, a rear deck with both covered and uncovered areas to relax, and ample space for parking. The 1.11-acre lot has a mix of cleared yard and wooded surroundings, with a stall barn located toward the back portion of the property. The home is located near several of Norris Lake's most popular marinas and outdoor recreation areas. Shanghai Marina is 5 minutes down the road. Lonas Young Park boat launch is approximately 8 minutes away. Both Sugar Hollow Marina & Whitman Hollow Marina are only 10 minutes away. Ride Royal Blue trailhead, Tiki Hut, Chapman Hill Winery, and Deerfield Resort's 18-hole golf course are also within a short driving distance. Start your morning on the beautiful front porch, coffee in hand, relaxing on the porch swings. Spend the day boating, fishing, tubing, or exploring miles of scenic mountain trails. Then come home to gather with family and friends in the expansive basement rec room designed for game nights, entertaining, and making memories. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, vacation home, or short-term rental investment, you'll appreciate the rare combination of lake living, trail riding, and small-town Tennessee charm.
