2018’s Fab Five

All five of our custom-built 2018 Sip and Snoop homes share investments made out of their owners’ love for Lakemoor Hills. Their common roots are not evident in their varied styles and interpretations. But five stories will become one on October 7 between 2:00 and 5:00, when you enjoy a Sunday afternoon mixing, mingling, eating, and sipping wine with your neighbors. And your cost of admission goes toward beautifying our neighborhood’s new Alcoa Highway entrances.

 

Stuart’s first Lakemoor Hills’ house was a small log cabin on Maloney Road. He and Betsy grew a family and built their enchanting log house on Buckboard. His compound of log structures is best viewed from the water and you will do just that as you arrive via water taxi thanks to our neighbor, Volunteer Landing. The main house appears to be floating above the river.   The Worden home is also being featured at an already sold-out Knox Heritage Summer Supper. So make your S&S reservation now.

 

Tim moved to a tiny concrete house on Maloney Road in the 90s and stayed to build his dream home and his family. Today’s home makes the best use of its river views while providing a livable sanctuary for the family and their four-legged friends. Tim and Kathleen share not just their home, but also an enviable launch point for our water taxi.

 

You’ve admired their perfect yard and now’s your chance to look inside. Fran and Fred began their Lakemoør life on Timberlake. They left that house but not their beloved neighborhood when they built this home at the corner of Maloney and Circle Lake. Today their love-of-Lakemoor is not only evident in the exquisite detail of their home but also in their work to establish the Lakemoor Legacy Garden at the other end of Circle Lake.

 

First came a Cape Cod complete with a horse in 2003. Then came building their forever home next door where they moved in 2012. Skip and Kim enjoy the sunrise and sunset views from their current home on Maloney. From the street you can’t see their expansive backyard complete with a pool. Come and enjoy their attention to detail while wishing you could stay.

The Scott’s secluded gem has its own eight-acre park-like setting on Trillium. Lakemoor Hills drew them from their Woodson Drive home when Bill Shell (S&S 2017) offered them a chance to purchase the land in 2013. Shay and Shanle took a blank sheet of paper and designed this house capturing the idyllic setting and their lifestyle. They moved in and welcomed their son in 2016, assuring a house full of love, noise, and works in process.

David and I have a friend who has a close friend that is moving to Florida. She has two small Italian greyhounds that she wants to relocate to a good home as she cannot take them with her. They are 2-3 years old, shy and she wants them to stay together. One is black and called CharBaby; the other one is light gray and white and called Lurlene. Their owner is Sherry Phillips. Contact number: 865-382-5950. I will post their photos on the HOA Facebook page.

Our German shepherd mix Rascal got loose, but he’s home now. Thanks to everybody who called to report yet another dog on the loose, at Maloney and Montlake. Anybody know where a large, hairy, black and white and tan dog might have come from? Sally Boyington

Two oak trees came down, curbside, at 2420 Trillium Lane while I was out of town.  I’ve hired someone to haul the remnants away, but it looks like good firewood, so I thought I’d let the neighborhood know of its availability.

I had a call tonight from Julie Stelter who house sits for Mary and Ed Jeffries. On June 4th, she was walking her dog on a leash while the Jeffries dog was in the yard. She just left the house going down Woodmere when another animal (she thought a dog at the time) ran up and attacked her dog (a poodle) going for the head. She kicked the attacker with all her might. The animal turned on her growling. At that moment, the Jeffries’ dog came running over and the attacker left. Today, in the evening, she was walking across Blow Drive to the Childress’s house when she saw the same animal coming out of Shivers’ property. Today she thought it was not a dog but a coyote. The animal was gray, black and brown. Julie asked me to post this as a warning to people with small animals and children in the neighborhood.

Dog Pickup Bags updates
The bag unit at Bluff Point has an active bird’s nest in it with eggs. The bags are hanging on the outside of the unit until the birds fledge.

Secondly, be careful when getting the dog pickup bags out of the bag units. There are wasp residing in a couple of them. We are spraying them so they should be eliminated this evening. But always tap the box before you grab in the summer.

Imagine tens of thousands of wildflowers at the gateway to Knoxville and Lakemoor Hills. That’s part of the goal and Sip & Snoop is a step in that direction. All profits go to beautify Alcoa entrances after construction.  Over half of the tickets are already sold, so reserve yours today.

The Lakemoor Hills Garden Club is selling beautiful Caladiums.  We planted over 700 bulbs several months ago and they are now ready to sell.  The money raised goes to garden club projects at the Legacy Park and the new roundabouts at Alcoa Highway.

Caladiums are easy to grow in landscape beds and containers.  They like a little shade, but will grow in sun.   Shop early for best selection.  We have several varieties: Red Fancy Leaf, White Fancy Leaf and Pink Fancy Leaf.

5 plants for $20.00…..or $5.00 each.  Call 579-9001 and leave your order.  We will be selling them in the neighborhood, and let your friends outside of Lakemoor Hills know as well.  These are quality plants and much better than what you find at the big box stores.

Thank you!
