Public Remarks: Nestled along the edge of the highly sought-after Glades Arts & Crafts Community in Gatlinburg, this beautifully curated 3,200-square-foot Craftsman estate offers an exceptional blend of timeless mountain architecture and refined modern comfort -- all without HOA restrictions. Surrounded by professionally designed landscaping, vibrant seasonal gardens, and mature trees, the property delivers striking year-round curb appeal while offering the versatility discerning buyers seek. Whether envisioned as a luxury short-term rental investment, an elegant private mountain retreat, or a distinguished full-time residence, this home effortlessly adapts to your lifestyle. Inside, rich natural textures and authentic craftsmanship create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. The inviting den is a true showpiece, highlighted by a dramatic tongue-and-groove ceiling, luxury plank flooring, and a wall-to-wall flagstone wood-burning fireplace that anchors the space -- the perfect setting for cozy evenings in the mountains. The fully renovated gourmet kitchen blends beauty and functionality with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry with soft-close doors, integrated organization systems, and a thoughtfully designed buffet and coffee station ideal for entertaining. The adjacent dining room is bathed in natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an elegant setting that connects the interior to the surrounding natural landscape. Designed with entertaining in mind, the expansive great room features a 75-inch flat-screen television, gas fireplace, stylish wet bar, private half bath, and its own dedicated entrance -- offering both privacy for guests and flexible living possibilities. Above, a generous 24' x 24' bonus suite provides additional storage and easily serves as a fourth bedroom, recreation space, or game room. Outdoor living is where this home truly excels. Begin your mornings on the sprawling 12' x 40' screened porch, relax on the thoughtfully designed back deck beneath the stars, gather with friends around the fire pit, or unwind in the hot tub while enjoying seasonal mountain views. Each outdoor space has been intentionally designed to embrace the tranquility and beauty of the Smoky Mountains. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with access to its own enclosed porch. The spa-inspired bath offers a resort-like experience featuring an oversized soaking tub with mounted television, dual vanities, a glass-and-tile walk-in shower, private water closet with additional sink, and an impressive 10' x 10' custom walk-in closet with built-in organization. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, the home offers both privacy and convenience with easy road access, a circular driveway, generous parking, and a dedicated RV parking space with 30 AMP / 240-volt hookup. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being within walking distance to Mills Park, the Gatlinburg Community Center, and Rocky Top Sports World, while a nearby trolley stop provides effortless access to the shops, restaurants, and attractions of town. Combining craftsmanship, privacy, luxury amenities, and exceptional investment potential, this remarkable Craftsman residence offers a rare opportunity to own a refined mountain retreat in one of Gatlinburg's most desirable locations.Drone Photography used.
