This one-owner home sits along the shore of Cherokee Lake, backed by trees and facing water that changes color with the weather. The wraparound deck — rebuilt recently — wraps around the main level and puts the lake directly in front of you. A private ramp leads down to a floating dock with an active permit, so the first morning you own it, you can already be out on the water.

Inside, original hardwood floors run across the main level, passing through a formal dining room, a large family room, and a kitchen fitted with custom cherry cabinetry, Corian countertops, and double wall ovens. The finished lower level adds a third full bath and a flexible room that works equally well as a guest suite or a quiet place to work from home.
