2824 kingston pike

This classic 1928 Tudor Revival estate, within the Kingston Pike Historic District at the edge of Sequoyah Hills, is one of Knoxville's most distinguished waterfront addresses. They stopped making homes like this a long time ago. Nearly a century later, thoughtful updates have preserved its character while allowing it to live beautifully for today's lifestyle. Step through the arched iron entry door and the house begins to tell its story. Hand-carved staircase, leaded glass windows, exposed beam ceilings, arched doorways -- craftsmanship that simply doesn't exist anymore. The living room anchored by a fireplace, a built-in library, a formal dining room, and an office. The chef's kitchen leaves nothing to be desired -- Wolf six-burner range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, double Dacor ovens, warming drawer, wine fridge, bar sink, and a sun-filled breakfast nook. Then there is the sunroom. Wrapped in river-facing windows, light shifting all day, the Tennessee River always just beyond the glass. The covered back porch opens to the river completely. Watch the sun rise. Watch it set. When football season arrives, you can watch the Vol Navy pass by -- or join it. Upstairs, a reading nook leads to the primary suite with river views. Bedrooms two and three share a Jack and Jill bath. The lower level offers a private guest apartment -- bedroom, full bath, living area, kitchenette, and laundry -- completely self-contained. On 1.3 riverfront acres, a new pool and pool deck with sweeping water views, a vine-draped pergola off the kitchen, terraced gardens, walking paths, landscape lighting, and a private dock with electric boat lift and jet ski lift. All of it, ten minutes from downtown and a short boat ride to Calhoun's. If you've dreamed of an address like this -- this is your moment.
