Absolutely
Unique ! Own
a piece of Smoky Mountain history with this amazing and eclectic home sitting
at the edge of the National Park. Sitting
on the banks of Dudley Creek just a stone's throw from the East Parkway, this
location is walking distance from shopping, dining, city services, and the trolley
stop. |
The
core of the home consists of two 18th-century log cabins that originally stood
in the Cades Cove area of the National Park. Upon creation of the park they were
disassmebled, trucked to Gatlinburg, and reassembled in their current location.
The remainder of the home was then built around then. The
entryway at the front of the home leads you to the study and parlor, which feature
lots of windows for natural light. | |

The
cabins create two large rooms at the center of the home. The first is currently
used as a living room, and features a traditional stone fireplace with gas logs. The
second cabin is currently used as an entertainment room, and also contains a stone
fireplace. The wear to the vintage wood floors attests to the many happy hours
spent here. |
The kitchen a blend of old and new, with the rustic ambiance accenting the modern
stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The adjacent utility room holds a modern
washer & dryer, plus a full bathroom. The
adjoining dining area has a window bar with large picture windows providing a
view of the wooded beauty of the park. | |

Upstairs
you'll find two comfortable bedrooms with another full bathroom. The rooms are
accented in knotty pine tongue & groove, and have ample closet space. There's
also a cozy nook built into a dormer that provides an out-of-the-way place to
sit and enjoy a book. |
A
distinctive feature of the home is the presence of three forms of heat: fireplaces,
electric baseboard heaters, and heat pumps. The heat pumps are commercial units
with five separate zones of heating and cooling, which results in impressive efficiency.
The home is serviced by city water and sewer service, and there is a hookup station
for an RV in the parking area. Outside
there are two spacious decks (one screened and one open) as well as a large patio
made of Stone Mountain marble. There's also a small spring pool, and plenty of
places to sit and enjoy the creek and the hillsides abounding with hemlocks and
mountain trillium. | |
This
is a rare opportunity to obtain a property of unique character and history, in
a location of outstanding convenience. It is zoned C-2, which also allows for
commercial possibilities if desired. It
is offered at the drastically reduced price of only $199,900. |
