Behind the private gates of The Summit at Choto, this nearly 6,000 sq/ft stone and brick estate commands year-round views of shimmering lake waters and the distant Smoky Mountain ridgeline...a backdrop that never gets old. Main-level living is anchored by three bedroom suites, each with walk-in closets and ensuite baths. The owner's retreat features dual vanities, an oversized double shower, and a custom walk-in closet by A Place for Everything. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, bespoke shiplap millwork, barn wood accents, and a stately brick foyer set the tone throughout. The gourmet kitchen pairs herringbone wood-look flooring with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, and a farmhouse sink; framed by walls of windows that make the view the centerpiece of every meal. The finished lower level is where this home separates itself: a custom bar with stacked-stone surround, billiards and gaming room, fitness studio, workshop with separate access, secure safe room, and a half bath-plumbed flex area easily finished as a full bath; all supported by integrated HVAC dehumidification. Upstairs, expansive guest quarters and a bonus retreat offer flexibility for any lifestyle. Outside, a covered/screened upper deck with tongue-and-groove ceiling and string lighting overlooks a stone fire pit, layered privacy plantings, and abundant wildlife. Professionally installed camera system, HIS Security alarm, American Fencing, custom garage shelving round out a home that has been thought through at every level.
