Imagine mornings that begin with a quiet cup of coffee in hand, the soft rustle of trees overhead, and a view of Cherokee Lake stretching out in front of you. At 1616 Sequoyah Drive, that's not just a vacation fantasy—it's everyday life. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath lakefront home sits on half an acre in the gated Chelaque community, offering 125 feet of shoreline and the kind of peace that's hard to find. The new dock, installed in 2024, is ready for your boat, your paddleboard, or a pair of chairs just to sit and watch the sun dip behind the mountains. Evenings are for grilling on the Trex deck, gathering around the fire pit, and watching the stars reflect off the water. Step inside, and you'll find a home that's both welcoming and thoughtfully designed. The main level features hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and large windows that frame lake and mountain views. The living area is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace—perfect for cozy fall mornings or winter evenings. In the kitchen, you'll find double ovens, granite countertops, a spacious pantry, and an island that invites people to gather and stay awhile. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, with direct deck access, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with dual vanities and a soaking tub that overlooks the trees. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level was made for entertaining. Whether you're hosting friends for the weekend or enjoying a quiet night in, the custom wet bar, media area, and easy access to the backyard make it effortless. Practical features like a detached 2-car garage, new filtered water softener and water heater (both 2024), and high-speed internet mean you don't have to sacrifice convenience for serenity. This is more than a house. It's a slower pace. A deep breath. A place where weekends feel like vacations and the lake is part of your everyday rhythm. Come see what it feels like to truly love where you live.
