198 E Cove Drive

For many people, this is what they picture when they dream about East Tennessee. A true log home overlooking Tellico Lake, surrounded by mature hardwoods, with soaring wood-beam ceilings, a massive wraparound deck, and nearly 4,800 square feet of living space designed to make the outdoors part of everyday life. Located in the highly regarded Foothills Pointe community, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers the kind of setting that buyers spend years seeking. Whether it's morning coffee overlooking the water, dinner on the deck as the sun begins to drop behind the trees, or simply enjoying the view from the great room, this is a home that naturally draws you outside. The deck is the centerpiece of it all. With approximately 1,200 square feet of outdoor living space and an entirely new Trex deck surface, there is room to lounge, dine, grill, entertain, or simply sit back and enjoy the lake views and changing seasons. It's easy to imagine spending most of your time here. Inside, the home offers the character and warmth that only a true log home can provide. Authentic wood walls and beams, dramatic ceilings, a Viking professional gas range, a main-level primary suite, a loft overlooking the great room, and a fully finished walkout basement create a floorplan that is both comfortable and flexible. The lower level includes an additional bedroom, full bath, family room, and multiple bonus spaces that can adapt to your needs. The current owners have invested more than $60,000 preparing the home for its next chapter, including a new HVAC system, an updated kitchen with new quartz countertops, a completely new Trex deck surface, new flooring in the basement, fresh paint, updated lighting throughout, bathroom improvements, and refreshed landscaping. Some homes check boxes. Others make it difficult to imagine living anywhere else. 198 E Cove Drive is one of those homes.
