With stunning views, luxurious amenities, and a location that offers both serenity and recreation, this home is a true masterpiece for those seeking an unparalleled lakefront lifestyle.

A Scenic Drive to a Special Place

As you enter the Rock Harbor Subdivision, it becomes immediately clear that this is a community like no other. The gently winding Smokey Quartz Road leads you through a picturesque landscape, eventually taking you to the top of a ridge where you’ll pass a well-appointed recreation area. Here, residents enjoy a putting green, sand volleyball court, tennis courts, and more — all framed by breathtaking panoramic views of Norris Lake.

Continuing along Platinum Drive, you’ll pass through the marina entry and arrive at a semi-private gated driveway. One of the first things you’ll notice about this property is the ample parking space, a rare and welcome feature for lakefront homes.

An Elegant Entrance with Impressive Interiors

Enter through the charming front door and into a living space that radiates sophistication and warmth. The dramatic cathedral ceiling envelopes the dining, kitchen, living, and loft areas, creating a grand and open atmosphere. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with white cabinetry offering ample storage, quartz countertops and backsplash, an island with seating, stainless steel appliances, and self-assist drawers and cabinet doors.

The living area is anchored by a rustic stone, floor-to-ceiling fireplace with a propane gas insert, complete with a custom wooden mantel. The floors throughout the home are clad in Spanish porcelain tile, a perfect blend of beauty and functionality for lakeside living.

However, the true star of the home is the breathtaking lake view. Massive Anderson doors and windows frame the stunning scenery, inviting natural light to flood the interior and providing seamless access to the expansive deck.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

This property is designed for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining. Both the main and lower decks span the entire width of the home and are constructed with durable composite materials for low maintenance. These spacious decks are perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet, private dinners while taking in the mesmerizing lake views.

Steps from the lower deck lead down to the water, making it easy to access the lake for a day of boating or swimming. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, the decks offer the perfect perch to soak in the natural beauty of Norris Lake.

A Primary Suite with a View

The main level features a split-bedroom layout, with the primary suite positioned to maximize privacy and views. The spacious primary bedroom includes French doors that open directly onto the main deck, allowing you to wake up each morning to the serene sight of the lake.

The en-suite bathroom is equally impressive, boasting double sinks and a beautifully tiled glass shower with an overhead rain shower feature — a spa-like retreat within your own home.

The loft area overlooking both the front and rear of the property offers endless possibilities — whether you envision it as an office, library, or additional sleeping space. The loft is flooded with natural light, thanks to two skylights, and provides more opportunities to take in the stunning surroundings.

A Versatile Lower Level

The home’s lower level offers three distinct areas, allowing you to customize the space to suit your needs. Whether you dream of a media room, gaming lounge, or additional living space, the possibilities are endless. A smaller room on this level would make an excellent bunk room or storage area.

November 2024 Real Estate Market Update: What You Need to Know

As we approach the close of the year, the East Tennessee real estate market continues to follow a familiar seasonal pattern. While we can see a slowdown in some areas, this appears to be more about the time of year than any major market shift. Here’s a look at what we’ve seen in recent weeks and what it might mean for both buyers and sellers.

New Listings – New listings decreased compared to the previous month, but remain higher than what we’ve seen during other recent Decembers. This suggests the dip is driven mainly by seasonal factors rather than a sign of dwindling interest. Buyers may still find a decent selection of homes, even as we head into the quieter winter period.

Active Listings – Back in August, we reached and then surpassed the number of active listings we had in 2019, the last pre-COVID benchmark year. While this might feel like inventory is “up,” remember that we’re still in a market where demand outpaces supply. Buyers, however, might find a bit more leverage with slightly more choices available. For sellers, this means paying close attention to pricing, condition, and presentation to stand out.

Sales Pending – The number of homes going under contract took its expected seasonal dip, but interestingly, it remains above last year’s levels. Life events—jobs, family changes, or simply the desire to move—don’t always wait for interest rates to drop. Some buyers seem willing to move forward despite mortgage uncertainties, perhaps encouraged by the broader array of homes currently on the market.

Closed Units – Closed home sales in November mirrored the activity we saw last November, down a bit from October’s numbers. Again, this fits the classic year-end pattern. Real estate activity often crests in the warmer months and then eases off as the holidays approach, so this year’s slight slowdown doesn’t raise any red flags.

Months of Supply – With more listings, coupled with a seasonal slowdown in contracts and closings, the months of supply metric has nudged upward. Many industry experts consider around six months of supply to represent a “balanced” market—one where the number of buyers and the number of homes available roughly match. While we’re not at that perfect balance yet, inching closer could mean more predictable conditions for everyone involved.

Median Sales Price – The median sales price currently sits around $375,000, holding steady and showing a slight increase. This number rivals peak summer pricing and indicates that even as we move into the quieter months, home values remain stable and resilient. For sellers, it’s an encouraging sign that their property values are maintaining strength. For buyers, it’s further confirmation that East Tennessee’s market continues to be a sound, long-term investment.

Average Days on Market – On average, homes spend about 40 days on the market. To break that down: a home might stay on the market for a couple of weeks before going under contract, followed by a roughly 30-day period leading up to closing. Historically speaking, 40 days is still a brisk pace. While we might see this number edge up slightly as colder weather settles in, it remains well within the realm of a healthy, active market.

Looking Ahead – As we move into the heart of winter, we’ll likely see typical seasonal patterns continue, with activity picking up again as we approach spring. For those considering buying or selling now, understanding these trends can help manage expectations. With demand still generally outstripping supply, buyers should remain prepared to act quickly when the right home appears, while sellers can rest assured that properties priced and presented well will still garner attention, even in the cooler months.


If you have questions about how these trends might affect your personal real estate goals, our team at Wallace Real Estate is here to help. We’re always monitoring the latest market data, ensuring that when you’re ready to move, you have the insights and guidance you need.

Winterize Your Home: Tips to Protect Your Property and Save Money This Season

 

As temperatures drop and winter settles in, it’s important to prepare your home to handle the colder months ahead. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to keep your property in top shape or planning to sell in the near future, a little preparation now can save you money and headaches later.

Here are five essential tips to winterize your home:

1. Seal Drafts and Insulate

Drafty windows and doors can lead to higher heating bills. Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal gaps and add insulation where needed. You’ll stay cozy while keeping energy costs in check.

2. Check Your Heating System

Schedule a professional inspection of your furnace or heat pump to ensure it’s running efficiently. Clean or replace filters regularly to maintain optimal performance and air quality.

3. Inspect Your Roof and Gutters

Clear out debris from gutters to prevent ice dams, and check for any loose or missing shingles that could lead to leaks. Addressing small issues now can prevent bigger problems during harsh weather.

4. Protect Your Pipes

Frozen pipes can cause costly damage. Insulate exposed pipes, and during extreme cold, let faucets drip slightly to keep water flowing. Don’t forget to disconnect and store outdoor hoses.

5. Test Your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

With heating systems running and fireplaces in use, it’s crucial to ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly. Replace batteries and test each device for peace of mind.

Stay Cozy and Protected All Winter Long

Taking the time to winterize your home now can make a big difference, whether you’re planning to sell or just want to enjoy a warm, worry-free winter.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling this season, we’re here to help guide you through every step of the process!
