Purchased in 2016 and fully renovated in 2020, this 1967 designer A Frame sits atop a 1.65 acre peninsula on Watagua Lake, Tennessee in Cove Ridge on the outskirts of Butler TN. Close to the TN/NC border â€'' an hour north of Asheville, between Boone NC (45 min) and Johnson City TN (35 min). The home has large lake frontage and a private dock. The 1,200 square ft. 3-story A Frame has three bedrooms and three full baths, kitchen with bar seating, living area, laundry and atrium seating area adjacent to the master suite in the loft. There is a covered seating area off the lower level walk out and a new large patio off the main floor overlooking the lake. The grounds run from the top of the drive into the woods down the peninsula and into the water. Roughly 120 ft. of waterfront and into water acreage of roughly 30 x 30 yards - grandfathered in 1967: water body ownership is extremely rare on Watauga Lake. This property also comes with a new 2017, Ipe' wood dock & bridge. There are two sets of walkway steps leading to the waterfront that cross Cove Ridge Road. A shade deck under the Oak tree near waters edge provides escape from the summer sun. The property also houses a 12' x 12' custom built storage shed adjacent to the house, but well hidden from view. All information contained herein deemed reliable but not guaranteed should be verified by the buyer/buyer's agent.
