FEATURES: LOG ON 10+ ACRES
WITH TENNESSEE CHARM!
Just like your own Gatlinburg mountain retreat, within an easy drive to
Cincinnati! Located less than 5 miles from the I74 Brookville/West
Harrison exit, this beautiful 3 BR/2.5BA Heritage log home with its huge
wrap around porch overlooks a stocked ¾ ac pond & wooded views! Carefully
built with quality & upgrades throughout…. A rare find!
FEATURES
The home is located down a long private road, shared by several other
homes, all on large acreage tracts. As visitors round the first main curve
of the road they are treated to a beautiful view of this exquisite log
home, nestled in trees at the far side of rolling lawns & a beautiful
pond.
Charming views abound as you turn into the property’s private driveway…
The side of the home features a striking stone chimney, functional as well
as attractive!
The driveway circles through the woods around the back of the house, &
ends back down at the house by the pond. A large parking & turn-around
area provides plenty of room for Owners & guests. A striking set of 6’
wide steps winds from the wrap-around porch down to the driveway near the
garage doors, providing easy access to the main level of the home.
Venture up the stairs to one of the home’s most striking & useful
features…a beautiful 8’ wide wrap-around porch with exposed beams, tongue
& groove ceilings & wood railings with all aluminum black powder coated
spindles (no maintenance, no rust!). Relax & enjoy views of the pond or
the woods from a swing, hammock or the dinner table! The rear porch is
even double joisted in one spot for hot tub support.
Inside the front entry, vaulted ceilings, open beams & a striking stone
fireplace catch the eye. The wide open floor plan works well for casual
living & entertaining…the Great Room, Dining Room & Kitchen are all
visually connected, as well as being open to the large upstairs loft.
This is a kitchen that invites participation! Plenty of ceramic tile
counter space (complete with no stain non-porous grout!), two Moenstone
sinks with attractive Moen copper faucets, lots of hickory cabinets plus a
pantry for storage, and attractive black appliances, including a black
glass cook top are all included in the well designed space. A breakfast
bar on the island provides a great spot for quick meals, entertaining, or
just keeping the cook company without getting in the way.
Beyond the kitchen, two bedrooms and a full bath occupy the full depth of
the home.
A wide, open staircase leads from the foyer to the loft….a special Owner’s
Retreat! At the top of the stairs, a cozy nook overlooking the Great Room
provides a great spot for a home office. The Master Suite occupies the
entire second level. The huge bedroom with vaulted & beamed ceilings has a
large dormer overlooking the pond, which is wired & plumbed for a Jacuzzi
or soaking tub (hot/cold/drain/110 & 220 amp service are all under the
floor!). At the rear of the upstairs the Master Bath is partially open to
the bedroom. The Master shower is truly a treat…a large two person space
with custom ceramic tile & a Moen “Vertical Spa” (5 shower heads on one
side, at different levels!) A private Toilet room & walk-in closet
complete this wonderful Owner’s Retreat.
Downstairs, a large finished Family Room has windows & a door to the lower
level paver patio, overlooking the pond. Another masonry fireplace on the
far wall (built with a 9x13 separate flue) has had a top of the line
($2,800) woodstove installed. The woodstove has a full height stainless
steel liner up the entire flue & out the top, and is used by the current
owners for the majority of their heat. This can be restored to a regular
wood-burning fireplace, but a new damper would be required since the
damper had to be removed to install the woodstove liner. Owners are
providing the Buyer with a $1,000 flooring allowance for flooring in the
Family Room.
Off the Family Room, a combination half bath & laundry also houses the 80
gallon water heater & water softener. The electrical panel is located over
the bathroom sink, so a special locking mirror cover has been installed
for safety as well as accessibility.
The remainder of the lower level currently functions as garage, but was
built for easy conversion to more living area or even separate living
quarters. The garage is fully insulated with 2x4 walls & R13 insulation in
addition to concrete walls, and the garage ceiling is insulated with R19.
It is fully wired for living space, with zoned separate switches at all
doors& electrical outlets along the floor every 6’. There is a hot & cold
sink/wash tub, for easy conversion to a kitchen. Even the exterior spigot
by the driveway has hot & cold water, great for washing your car in warm
water! The garage doors are both extra wide (10’) & one door is 18” taller
than standard. There is an extra depth bay which allows for a workbench,
and plenty of built in shelving for storage.

Heritage Log Home with full 12” logs that are “hand hewn” on both the
inside & outside of the home.
