The breathtaking view starts when you pull into the driveway! With this house its all about the view. Each and every room has a spectacular view of the lake. As you enter the main level you will find the view equally amazing from the kitchen to the living room and from the couch to the kitchen table. Once you are upstairs in the master suite you see the view is just as spectacular from the balcony as it is from the bed. Even the two downstairs bedrooms have a pristine view of the water. If sitting outside on the deck is your thing then this is the place for you! There are decks on every level for your enjoyment. The deck even leads all the way down to the shoreline. This property is located on the main channel of the Cumberland River and not allowed a dock permit. We do have dock access on the bay side of the street, it just 75 yards from the front door.
