Welcome to 227 Avondale Lane on Wonder Lake
Nestled on 3.6 private acres along the shores of Wonder Lake, this exceptional waterfront home offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, privacy, and modern comfort. Set back from the road and accessed by a circular driveway, the property features a beautifully wooded setting with direct lake access and abundant wildlife.
The spacious covered back porch and adjoining deck provide the ideal place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Wood ducks, Canada geese, and Great Blue Herons are frequent visitors to the bay where the private dock extends into the lake. Whether launching a kayak, canoe, or fishing boat from the shoreline or dock, lake living is always at your doorstep. Residents also enjoy the annual Thousand Oaks Fourth of July boat parade and fireworks celebration on the water.
The covered porch features three overhead fans to complement the refreshing lake breeze. A dedicated grilling area with overhead lighting accommodates a small electric grill, while the lower deck offers space for a full-size grill and outdoor entertaining.
A stone walkway wraps from the front to the back of the home, surrounded by thoughtfully designed landscaping featuring perennial and evergreen plantings that provide seasonal color throughout much of the year. Dry-stack stone edging enhances the beauty of each landscaped area.
The oversized two-car garage offers exceptional workspace for woodworking, hobbies, or storage. Attached is a two-vehicle carport ideal for additional vehicles, a camper, or a trailer. Three exterior lights with a dawn-to-dusk sensor provide security and convenience, while additional lighting around the home illuminates the property after dark.
Inside, the kitchen nook is a true highlight, surrounded by large windows on three sides that showcase the natural setting and lake views. The lake-facing window includes both a solar shade and blackout curtains. The nook also features a six-light fixture with a remote-controlled fan and recessed lighting on dimmer switches for evening ambiance.
The kitchen is appointed with oak hardwood cabinetry enhanced by updated satin nickel hardware. The stove, refrigerator, and built-in microwave have all been replaced within the past two years. The kitchen is currently equipped with an electric range but is also plumbed for gas. Additional features include a new faucet with pull-out spray functionality and dimmable under-cabinet lighting in the food preparation area.
The inviting living room centers around a fireplace with a Crab Orchard sandstone hearth, gas log starter, and custom handcrafted wood mantel. A new Hunter ceiling fan and wall sconces with dimmer controls create a comfortable atmosphere year-round.
Both bathrooms feature tile flooring and recessed lighting in the shower areas. The primary bathroom includes a walk-in shower.
Storage is abundant throughout the home with premium adjustable Elfa storage systems installed in both bedroom closets and the entry hall closet.
The second bedroom includes a Lori Beds Murphy-style twin bed with a never-used mattress, providing flexibility for guests or a home office.
The entry hall offers a convenient coat and shoe nook behind the front door. Adjacent to the entry is the laundry area, complete with built-in shelving for cleaning supplies and storage.
Window treatments throughout the home have been updated within the last two years and include blackout roller shades in the living and kitchen areas, along with Roman shades in the bedrooms--ideal for maintaining comfort during bright summer mornings on the Cumberland Plateau.
