LeConte, while being positioned adjacent to approximately 25 acres of hiking trails near the Historic Buckhorn Inn.Designed for flexibility, the property offers 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms across multiple structures, including a 4BR/3.5BA extensively renovated main residence and a fully equipped 1BR/1BA ''penthouse'' apartment--ideal for multi-generational living, guest use, or short-term rental income.The main residence has been thoughtfully updated with 10.5-ft ceilings, custom cabinetry with functional storage and cooking inserts, double ovens, and a custom dining table that conveys.
