Tucked away on nearly 8.71 wooded acres along the shores of Watts Bar Lake, this one-of-a-kind tri-level Craftsman offers a rare blend of privacy, character and thoughtfully curated updates. Originally built in 1958, the home has been extensively renovated over time, preserving its architectural charm while incorporating modern conveniences and refined finishes throughout. Beyond the home itself, the property unfolds into an exceptional private setting. Winding pathways lead through mature trees down to a substantial two-story dock which is complete with a boat lift and swim ladder - offering immediate access to lake living. With almost 9 acres of wooded privacy (and almost 1,000ft of waterfront), multiple outdoor living spaces, and a setting that feels worlds away, this property delivers a true lakefront retreat. Inside, warm wood tones and natural textures create an inviting yet sophisticated atmosphere, beginning with slate flooring at the entry and throughout the kitchen, and continuing into gleaming original hardwoods in the main living and dining area. Expansive walls of windows span all levels of the home, filling each space with natural light and capturing serene views of the water and surrounding landscape. The fully remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and modern appliances, complemented by a renovated walk-in pantry and a well-appointed mudroom for everyday functionality. All three bathrooms have been renovated and updated, including a refreshed main-level en-suite and a beautifully renovated primary suite. The second-floor full bathroom has been completely reimagined with a walk-in shower, dedicated laundry area with a separate sink, and additional storage. Each space has been carefully curated, blending refined finishes with purposeful design throughout. Offering approximately 3,460 square feet, the home provides generous and flexible living across three levels. The primary suite has been fully renovated and expanded to create a true private sanctuary. It comes complete with its own fireplace and access to the deck that spans the length of the upper level, offering elevated views of the lake and surrounding trees. The lower level expands the home's functionality with a finished recreation room featuring brand new epoxy flooring. An additional unfinished basement level (accessed by interior stairs from the main lower level) offers a spacious open workroom, ideal for projects, storage, or hobby use, along with housing key mechanical systems. A separate cellar room is tucked at the rear of this space, providing even more versatility. The attached carport has also been upgraded with durable epoxy flooring and built-in storage cabinetry, creating a clean, functional, and well-designed space. The property is further complemented by a second carport located above the home, along with a small storage shed. Extensive improvements throughout the property provide both peace of mind and long-term value, including a metal roof, new HVAC system (2024), electrical upgrades with buried service lines, and public water and gas utilities extended to the front of the property for potential future use. Located in Kingston and within a convenient drive to Knoxville, this property offers a rare opportunity to experience lakefront living with acreage, privacy, and architectural character, where everyday comfort meets a truly distinctive setting.
