*OWNER RELOCATING**MOTIVATED SELLER* WOW! That is the first word that comes to mind when trying to describe this home and property. This home is nearly 6000 square feet of meticulously maintained beauty with gorgeous views overlooking Ruggles Ferry Golf Course and House Mountain and with the convenience of being close to EVERYTHING Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains has to offer: UT football, basketball, and baseball games within 15 minutes, Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains within 20 minutes, and shopping and fine dining in Downtown Knoxville, Tennessee in less than 15 minutes. It is truly the comfort of the 'country', with 1.59 acres of land, coupled with the convenience of the city. The home is one of the most recognized homes in the Ruggles Ferry Community - dubbed 'The Grey Lady'. It has a large main level master suite with sitting area, large master bath with dual vanities, a custom tile shower, built-in wardrobe, and a master closet the size of a small bedroom! The family room is open concept with abundant light and leads to the large, custom-tiled screened porch. A formal dining room extends off the family room. The kitchen, with beautiful solid cherry cabinets, large pantry, and solid surface countertops, has been equipped with newer appliances and adjoins the sun-filled eat-in keeping room. The main level laundry is just off the master bedroom. Beautiful, extensive crown molding and trim and ¾' hardwood adorn the first floor, along with custom plantation shutters on the recently installed new windows. Upstairs, you will find a large bonus/recreation/additional bedroom. If you want more, go downstairs to the heated and cooled basement. You will find a family room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. If that is still not enough, enter the heated and cooled 5-car garage with epoxy flooring. Use it for your cars or turn it into additional living space. The home is equipped with central vacuum and has a new roof, HVAC, windows, water heaters, and garage doors. Too much to list!! This home has been well taken care of and it shows!
