COZY COTTAGE with a MOUNTAIN VIEW! BACK ON THE MARKET because buyer failed to provide funding. This well maintained 2 BR, 2 BA home was tastefully modified several years ago to include a site-built living area, full bath, primary bedroom and large closet/utility area. The floor plan allows for easy, low maintenance living surrounded by lovely millwork, laminate flooring, a large walk-in closet leading to the utility area and outside to a private back deck with additional storage. The front entrance walks into a spacious screened/covered front porch where you can enjoy year-round living while gazing out over a lovely mountain view. There is enough parking for two vehicles, and the community features awesome amenities that include a Par 3 golf course, large playground, outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, catch & release stocked fishing pond, picnic area, clubhouse and lots of friendly neighbors. There is always something fun going on in this gated community where you can enjoy an active social life OR take advantage of solitary living if you are looking for an ideal place to get away from it all. This location is just minutes from the Townsend/western entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the biking/walking trail in Townsend, favorite local coffee shops, Townsend Elementary School and public river access. All that's missing is YOU! Extra bonus...the HOA is in the process of amending their long-held guidelines that previously discouraged STR usage for properties located in Big Valley Resort, but now nightly rentals are officially welcomed so this property can be used as permanent living OR a short term rental. Great opportunity!!
