Property Description
Offering approximately 3,861 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath beautifully maintained home blends timeless cottage-inspired architecture with spacious, comfortable living. A welcoming covered front porch, mature landscaping, plantation shutters, and quality finishes create an inviting atmosphere throughout.
The dramatic great room is the heart of the home, showcasing soaring cathedral ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and expansive windows with electronic shades overlooking the backyard and lake. The adjoining kitchen features custom cabinetry, quality appliances, generous workspace, and an open layout that flows seamlessly into the breakfast area with plantation shutters. A separate formal dining room provides the perfect setting for holidays and entertaining.
Completed in 2019, the stunning sunroom addition is one of the home's signature spaces. Surrounded by walls of windows, it offers panoramic views of the beautifully manicured lawn and the peaceful waters of Watts Bar Lake, making it the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day.
The spacious primary suite features a beautifully renovated spa-inspired bath completed in 2019 with an oversized tiled walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, separate vanities, tile flooring, and elegant finishes. Upstairs, you will find 2 guest bedrooms, a full bath and a large bonus room that offers flexible space for a home office, media room, playroom, or guests.
The walk-out lower level expands the living space with a full second kitchen, recreation room, guest accommodations, abundant storage, and direct access to the backyard and lake--ideal for entertaining or multigenerational living.
Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. The park-like grounds gently lead to the shoreline with one of the easiest, flattest walks to the water you'll find on Watts Bar Lake. The private dock features two covered boat slips, a floating personal watercraft dock, and a spacious lounging deck, creating the perfect place to boat, swim, fish, or simply relax by the water.
In addition to the attached two-car garage, a detached three-bay garage/workshop, built in 2015, includes an additional half bath and expansive second-story storage, providing exceptional space for hobbies, boats, vehicles, or recreational equipment.
Thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, the home also features a newer roof (2022), HVAC systems approximately three years old, a new water heater, and a Generac generator, offering comfort and peace of mind for years to come.
From mornings in the sunroom to afternoons on the lake and evenings spent on the dock, 281 Cottage Drive offers the timeless waterfront lifestyle families dream about. Beautifully maintained, thoughtfully updated, and ideally situated on one of Watts Bar Lake's most desirable level waterfront lots, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional East Tennessee lake home.
