Some homes just feel like they were designed with a little more thought behind them. This is one of those homes. Tucked inside the gated community of Legacy Bay, this nearly 2,100-square-foot ranch was designed by the daughter of a custom home builder, and it shows in the details. The layout is incredibly well thought out, the finishes were chosen with purpose, and upgrades that might normally be considered extras were simply part of the plan from the beginning. Built just over three years ago, it has also been kept so meticulously that it is hard to believe how little time has passed since it was completed. And then there's the view. The main living area takes full advantage of the setting with a giant wall of windows bringing the mountains and Cherokee Lake right into the room. The ceilings rise dramatically in this open living space, while the rest of the home offers comfortable 9-foot ceilings throughout. Most of the windows are equipped with motorized sun shades, allowing you to enjoy all that natural light while still having complete control when you want it. The kitchen is every bit as thoughtfully finished, with quartz countertops, a custom marble backsplash and plenty of room to gather. The marble continues to the gas fireplace, creating a beautiful focal point in the living area without feeling overdone. Throughout the home, engineered hardwood floors were chosen instead of luxury vinyl, adding another layer of quality to an already impressive build. The covered front porch is positioned to take in the lake, giving you a quiet place to start the morning or wind down at the end of the day. Around back, the property takes a completely different turn with a huge, beautifully maintained yard and oversized pergola that creates an ideal space for entertaining, grilling or simply enjoying a summer evening outside. The oversized, extra-deep three-car garage measures approximately 36' x 24', giving you plenty of room for vehicles, lake toys, storage and everything else that comes with enjoying East Tennessee. Perhaps one of the most special things about this property is the lot itself. There are very few lots left in Legacy Bay where the views cannot be blocked in any direction, and this is one of them. The mountains and Cherokee Lake are not just something you see today, they are part of what makes this setting so special for years to come. And because it's Legacy Bay, the lifestyle extends well beyond the property lines. Residents enjoy a gated entrance, community pool, tennis and pickleball courts, clubhouse, boat launch and boat storage. The community marina also has slip availability at the time of listing, making it even easier to take full advantage of Cherokee Lake. For someone looking for a home that offers beautiful views, one-level living, an incredible lot and a level of care that is becoming harder to find, this one deserves a close look.
