Nestled among mature trees in a established Andersonville neighborhood, this beautifully updated cottage offers a private retreat surrounded by nature while still providing access to the recreational amenities of the Norris Lake area. Located beyond a gated community entrance, the property sits on a wooded 0.34-acre lot where deer and other local wildlife are frequent visitors, creating a quiet and safe natural setting that feels tucked away from the everyday. The home offers approximately 650 square feet with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a versatile sunroom and an additional approximately 150-square-foot screened porch the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee listening to the birds or unwind while taking in the surrounding woods and wildlife.

Extensively updated throughout, improvements include new flooring, trim, doors, windows, light fixtures, cabinetry, new plumbing throughout, water heater, all-in-one washer/dryer and all new stainless-steel appliances. While the vinyl windows throughout bring in natural light, the views of the surrounding scenery offers a peaceful and safe environment. The sunroom provides additional flexible space for an additional bonus room, office, or peaceful sitting area. Electric bills have been very modest during summer and winter, water is provided by the community and is very inexpensive comparable to many utility companies. Outside, a horseshoe gravel driveway provides ample and convenient parking. Exterior of the home has a roof that is approximately six years old with new guttering and down spouts recently installed. A separately purchased community membership offers access to amenities including: a clubhouse, boat ramp and parking, picnic area (with restrooms and an ice machine), RV campground, pickleball, playground, as well as basketball and tennis courts.
