Description
WELCOME TO EAST TENNESSEE AND THIS CUSTOM BUILT BY OWNERS MOUNTAIN AND LAKE HOME. AS YOU VIEW THE PICTURES KEEP IN MIND: THIS HOME DESIGN FLOWS WITH DAILY LIVING IN MIND. START WITH COFFEE ON THE COVERED PATIO OR OPEN PATIO. CHOOSE MOUNTAIN OR LAKE VIEWS WHILE A DEER, RACOON, OR OTHER CRITTER VISITS. VENTURE TO YOUR GARDEN TO PICK A FEW SUMMER VEGETABLES.
NOW, BACK TO THE LIBRARY/OFFICE OR SITTING ROOM FOR THE START OF A NEW BOOK OR DEVOTIONAL TIME. NOPE, LET’S GET A WALK OR JOG IN FIRST. THIS CAN BE TO THE END OF THE DRIVE AND BACK OR AS MANY MILES AS YOU CHOOSE. DON’T FORGET, THE BOAT IS IN THE COVERED DOCK, FISHING THIS MORNING; NO WAIT TILL AFTER LUNCH.
HEY HONEY, BREAKFAST AT THE BAR OR BREAKFAST NOOK? TELL YA WHAT; WOULD YOU RATHER GO OVER TO “BUSH BEANS CAFE” AND FORGET THE DISHES TODAY? WE’LL BE THERE IN FIVE MINUTES. LET’S GO!
WE’LL STRAIGHTEN UP THE UPSTAIRS BED ROOM, BATH, AND DEN/OFFICE WHEN WE RETURN. I’M SURE TICKLED THE GRAND KIDS WERE ABLE TO VISIT, BUT WHOOO (!), GLAD THEY’RE GONE. OH YEAH, BE SURE THEY DIDN’T LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE UPPER DECK THAT THE WEATHER MIGHT RUIN…
YOU KNOW, I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT CHANGING OUT THE LEATHER FURNITURE IN THE GREAT ROOM. WE MIGHT RUN DOWN TO A FEW OF THE MOUNTAIN FURNITURE STORES IN SEVIERVILLE, PIGEON FORGE, OR GATLINBURG LATER THIS AFTERNOON JUST TO VIEW SOME CHANGE OUT OPTIONS. WHAT DO YOU THINK? THANK GOODNESS FOR GRANITE AND TILE; I DON’T THINK ANYTHING ELSE WOULD HOLD UP TO THE GRAND’S PUNISHMENT OF FLOORS AND COUNTER TOPS.
I WISH THE FAMILY COULD SPEND MORE TIME AROUND CHRISTMAS. THEY LOVE HELPING WITH THE WOOD FOR THE FIREPLACE AND VERMONT CASTING WOOD STOVE. THAT STOVE SURE WARMS UP FEET AND PUTS YOU TO SLEEP ON A COLD WINTER’S DAY. ALL THE STONE (ENTRY COLUMNS AND FIREPLACE) – MAYBE THAT’S WHY THEY CALL THIS PLACE THE “MOUNTAIN CASTLE.” THANK GOODNESS FOR “WINTER FEST.” THE KIDS AND GRANDS JUST CAN’T BELIEVE THERE CAN BE SO MUCH “CHRISTMAS” IN ONE PLACE! OTHERWISE, WE’D HAVE TO DO MUCH MORE DECORATING FOR SURE… I THINK THE GRAND’S HAVE DISCOVERED SANTA’S “SECRET” CLOSET IN THE REAR OF YOUR “WINDING PANTRY,” TOO! OH WELL, THEY’RE GROWING UP.
I’M GLAD WE DECIDED TO GIVE EACH BEDROOM ITS OWN PRIVATE BATH. THEY LOVE THEIR PRIVACY WHEN THEY’RE HERE. OF COURSE THE HALF BATH BETWEEN THE SITTING ROOM/FOYER AND THE KITCHEN SAVED THE DAY MANY TIMES, TOO. NOT TO MENTION, THE LAUNDRY ROOM BEING ON THE MAIN FLOOR BY THE GARAGE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE WITH DIRTY, FISHY, CLOTHES AND SHOES. THOSE KIDS AND ME! HA HA
YOU KNOW, I WISH WE COULD BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE. I WISH WE COULD REPLACE THIS PLACE FOR WHAT WE’RE ASKING. I DON’T THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE. CALIFORNIA JUST DOESN’T GIVE YOU OVER FOUR THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF LIVING SPACE, GRANITE COUNTER TOPS, FULL APPLIANCE PACKAGE WITH STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES IN THE KITCHEN, “THOMASVILLE” CHERRY CABINETRY, BUILT IN BOSE SPEAKERS, SUPER SIZED TILED OPEN SHOWER, OVERSIZED WHIRLPOOL JETTED TUB, WALK IN CLOSETS; NOT TO MENTION THE BOAT DOCK AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO MAKE THE BUYER A “REAL DEAL” ON OUR 21’ TRITON FISH AND SKI BOAT WITH TRAILER? I LOVE THAT BOAT!
I REMEMBER WHAT THE LEAD GLASSED MAHOGONY WOODEN FRONT DOOR ALONE COST. I HAVE NO REGRETS THOUGH. THE DOOR AND THE COLUMNS SURE ARE IMPRESSIVE. I’VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, LIKE WALK IN CLOSETS WITH BUILT INS; BOOK CASES; HIGH, OPEN CEILINGS; FIVE EATING AREA OPTIONS; TWO OFFICE OPTIONS; A POWDER ROOM THAT “SAVES THE DAY,” LARGE LAUNDRY WITH LINEN CLOSET, SINK, CHERRY CABINETS, FREEZER, BUILT IN IRONING BOARD – AND – SUMMER KITCHEN, SUN ROOM, UP SCALED FIXTURES, BRASS DOOR KNOBS, “HURD WINDOWS” (ULTRA VIOLET – LAKE SIDE). DON’T FORGET DREXEL, THOMASVILLE, HENREDON, LA BARGE, AND HOOKER FURNISHINGS ARE NEGOTIABLE. OH YEAH, THOSE CARRIER HEAT PUMPS WITH EXTENDED WARRENTIES SURE HAVE SAVED ON UTILITIES: ONLY AN AVERAGE OF $190 MONTHLY YEAR ROUND – THAT’S UNBELIEVEABLE – BUT – WE HAVE THE BILLS.
5.25 ACRES OF MOUNTAIN TOP WITH 360 DEGREE VIEWS, YEAR ROUND LAKE WITH LIFT DOCK, OVER 4000 SQ. FT. HEATED AND COOLED, FOOTHILLS OF THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS / “HEAVEN ON EARTH” / WHY DID THE CHILDREN HAVE TO MOVE TO SAN DIEGO?????
