Some homes have potential. This one has already realized it! Rare are opportunities like 108 Bay View Pt, where nearly every inch has been rethought, rebuilt, and refined! Tucked inside the Peninsulas, a gated, lakefront community, surrounded by an impressive collection of newer, high-end homes, this beautifully transformed ranch-style residence sits on a Corner Lot and offers something increasingly difficult to find: luxury, privacy, recreation, and TURNKEY condition! Included with the home is a DEEDED BOAT SLIP, giving you your own place on Douglas Lake rather than simply access to it! The Peninsulas also offers two marinas and a boat launch, making spontaneous mornings on the water and sunset cruises part of everyday life! Get your golf cart or side by side and cruise the community roads to wave at neighbors or admire the lake and mountain views! Inside, the transformation is almost impossible to overstate. Approximately 99% of the home has been remodeled and updated, creating a cohesive, sophisticated interior that feels more like a carefully designed luxury retreat! The centerpiece is the expansive great room, where soaring ceilings, crisp white finishes, luxury vinyl flooring, designer-style lighting, and an impressive wall of windows create a bright, sophisticated gathering space. The open-concept design flows effortlessly from the living area into the dining space and completely renovated kitchen--the kind of layout equally suited for quiet mornings, entertaining friends, or gathering everyone after a day on the lake! The kitchen has been completely reimagined with a new island, new cabinetry, quartz countertops that carry through the backsplash, and a new range and vent hood, creating a space that is as beautiful as it is functional. Throughout the home, the details continue: new flooring, ceilings, walls, insulation, bathroom vanities, toilets, mirrors, closet systems, window treatments, and more! The renovation goes beyond cosmetics with New electrical, plumbing, HVAC, water heater, filtration and pressure system, and a New well pump! In other words, the expensive, behind-the-walls components have been addressed too to give you peace of mind after closing! With approximately 2,172 square feet of total finished living area, the ranch-style main level provides convenient one-level living, while the finished walkout basement adds around 665 square feet of additional flexibility for guests, recreation, a second living area, home office space, or whatever best suits your lifestyle. Outside, New decking and railings, extensive landscaping, retaining walls, landscaping blocks and rock, improved yard drainage systems, a new road leading to the back yard, and refreshed gravel driveway have all been part of the property's extensive makeover. Even the garage has received attention, including a new loft that adds valuable storage options! And because this is a home designed for enjoyment--not just ownership--it comes equipped with four TVs, new laundry appliances, and even the furniture is negotiable allowing you to arrive, unpack, and start enjoying the lake rather than starting a renovation list. Ask for the bill of sale to see what furniture pieces will stay. The setting may ultimately be the greatest luxury of all: you're approximately 15 minutes from a major grocery store and only about 20 minutes from Sevierville, yet the moment you enter the gates, life takes on a completely different pace. Douglas Lake is outside your door! Your deeded boat slip is waiting. Two community marinas and a boat launch make getting on the water remarkably convenient! And around you is a community where the upscale homes have established a tone equal to the beauty of the surrounding Lake and Mountains! This is not a house waiting for someone to make it special. Someone already did! 108 Bay View Pt has been painstakingly transformed, giving You something far more valuable than potential: a luxurious home 99% transformed and 100% ready to enjoy!
