Description

Nestled among mature trees in a peaceful, established Andersonville neighborhood, this beautifully updated cottage offers a private retreat surrounded by nature while still providing access to the recreational amenities of the Norris Lake area. Located beyond a gated community entrance, the property sits on a wooded 0.34-acre lot where deer and other local wildlife are frequent visitors, creating a quiet, natural setting that feels tucked away from the everyday. The home offers approximately 650 square feet with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a versatile sunroom and an additional approximately 150-square-foot screened porch--the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, listen to the birds or unwind while taking in the surrounding woods and wildlife. Extensively updated throughout, improvements include new flooring, trim, doors, windows, light fixtures, plumbing, water heater, appliances (including a new all-in-one washer/dryer combo), countertops, cabinetry and more, with a roof that is approximately six years old. The refreshed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, butcher-block-style countertops and abundant cabinetry, while large windows throughout bring in natural light and views of the surrounding greenery. The sunroom provides additional flexible space for an office, sitting room, guest area or hobby room. Outside, a horseshoe gravel driveway provides convenient access and plenty of room for guests, a boat or recreational vehicles. An optional, separately purchased community membership offers access to amenities including a clubhouse, boat ramp, campground, pickleball court, basketball court, picnic area, ice machine and restrooms. With its extensive updates, gated entrance, mature wooded surroundings, abundant wildlife, peaceful neighborhood setting and access to nearby lake recreation, this property would make a wonderful full-time residence, weekend getaway or potential Airbnb/short-term rental
