"Fog Valley" alludes to the mist that hovers over the lake some mornings. Catch the view from the many large windows of this chalet-style home or while relaxing on the large wraparound deck. The list of renovations and improvements is a long one making this home a wonderful find. High wood ceilings with beams and high windows, pretty stone fireplace with gas log in the living room, laminated floors. Separate dining room with storage, carpet. Wood paneled walls in master bedroom, full double closets, high ceilings with windows. Full bath on each level. 24x11 family room with lake view, atrium door to patio. 2nd bedroom on lower level along with office/craft room. Absolutely move-in-ready.

Great Location fronts on pretty aprox. 4 acre shared lake. The home needs updating and repairs. Great opportunity for a creative investor. There is a commode in the basement. An old road goes down to the lake. Less than a mile from Nashville.
