The perfect condo for spacious one level living on the quiet side of the Smokies that can be used as an owner occupied residence, 2nd home or short term rental!!! This like-new 2BR/2.5BA fully-furnished condo is strategically located in a gated community just far enough away from the tourist traffic to provide ample peace & quiet, but is also just a short drive away from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The Cades Cove Reserve residents are an active community filled with a mix of full time residents and investors alike. If you're a fan of biking, hiking or just taking a leisurely stroll, the historic Townsend River Walk trail is directly adjacent to the property. Let the HOA handle the lawns and landscaping while you kick back and relax at the pool, clubhouse/gym or firepit. The vibrant community of Townsend has all the basics like restaurants, grocery store and hardware store, but also provides a quick drive to tons of shopping in either Pigeon Forge or Maryville. Inside the home, you'll find a large open concept living room and kitchen area with ample space for a formal dining room. The master bedroom features a large master bathroom with a stand up shower and separate soaking tub. The 2nd bedroom has an ensuite bathroom to ensure family & guests have their own private space. The covered back porch and outdoor fire pit area is a great place to unwind after a long day. Finding a place with this type of option for occupancy types is rare, so be sure to put it on your list of showings today. STR guests can use the community pool and outdoor areas, but only owner occupants can use the clubhouse & gym which is behind locked doors. Some drone photos used in listing photos. If you can't make it into town to see it for yourself, ask your Realtor or the Listing Agent for the walkthrough video.
