About this home

Perched in the sought-after community of Fontana Lake Estates in Bryson City, this beautifully updated lake-view home blends mountain charm with modern comfort. Designed to capture sweeping views of Fontana Lake and the surrounding Smoky Mountains, the property offers both serenity and convenience in one exceptional package. Extensively upgraded, the home features a new 25-year roof on both the house and garage, complete with a 10-year transferable labor warranty. Inside, you’ll find fresh interior paint throughout, enhanced by new LED lighting, luxury vinyl flooring on the lower level, and a stunning rhododendron railing that adds authentic mountain character to the living room. The kitchen has been thoughtfully modernized with a new granite countertop, updated sink with Moen faucet, and a new KitchenAid dishwasher. Relaxation comes easy with a new Fyre gas log set, a four-seat Master Spa hot tub, and Trex decking on both levels—perfect for enjoying the incredible lake views year-round. Comfort and efficiency are top priorities with a new 100,000 BTU Trane two-speed furnace paired with a Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat, as well as a new pressure tank and switch for the water system. Accessibility is enhanced by a newly installed two-passenger Stultz elevator. Additional highlights include a fully insulated and drywalled garage, a heated and finished bonus room above, a custom bar with bar back hutch in the lower level, a motorized skylight shade in the guest bath, and a transferable Starlink internet system for reliable connectivity. This turnkey mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of luxury, practicality, and breathtaking natural beauty—ready for you to enjoy from day one.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
