Some homes put you near the East Tennessee mountains--this one places you right in the middle of them. Located in the ''Peaceful Side of the Smokies,'' Townsend offers convenient access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg--without the traffic, congestion, and noise. Built by McDougall Bros in 2002, this thoughtfully designed, one-owner home was created to maximize both space and setting. Multiple covered decks and en-suite bedrooms on each level make it ideal for everyday living or hosting guests. The main level features a dramatic two-story family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and expansive windows, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen and a truly remarkable sunroom-lined with floor-to-ceiling glass that immerses you in the surrounding landscape. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and includes a spacious en-suite bath with jetted tub and walk-in closet. Upstairs, a charming loft overlooks the main living area and leads to an oversized bedroom with a full bath and walk-in closet. The walkout basement is a standout feature--fully heated and cooled--with a third bedroom and full bath, a large family room filled with natural light, a two-car garage, and an additional unfinished 40' x 14' space ideal for a workshop or storage. Additional highlights include hardwood and tile flooring throughout, quartz countertops in the kitchen, insulated windows, solid wood doors, a stained concrete garage floor, and meticulously maintained pest and termite records. The professionally designed landscaping adds to the home's magazine-worthy curb appeal. Situated on a private 0.69-acre lot, this property is less than five minutes from local dining, shopping, grocery stores, outdoor trails, and the Little River. Conveniently located just 30 minutes from McGhee Tyson Airport and under 45 minutes to Knoxville. Ideal for a primary residence, second home, or possible investment opportunity. If you've been waiting for a home that truly captures the Smoky Mountain lifestyle--this is it.
