1952 on paper. 2026 everywhere else. Nearly every inch of this Chilhowee Hills home was rebuilt in 2026, creating a home that delivers the character and setting of an established Knoxville neighborhood with the style, function, and finishes of new construction. The original home was taken down to only two short sections of the former garage walls and portions of the below-grade foundation, which were repaired and reinforced. From there, the home was rebuilt with new framing, mechanical systems, exterior, and interior finishes--essentially a brand-new house with a 1952 birth certificate. And this one is SPECIAL.

The Story
301 Grata Road
1952 on paper. 2026 everywhere else. Nearly every inch of this Chilhowee Hills home was rebuilt in 2026, creating a home that delivers the character and setting of an established Knoxville neighborhood with the style, function, and finishes of new construction. The original home was taken down to only two short sections of the former garage walls and portions of the below-grade foundation, which were repaired and reinforced. From there, the home was rebuilt with new framing, mechanical systems, exterior, and interior finishes--essentially a brand-new house with a 1952 birth certificate. And this one is SPECIAL. Ten-foot ceilings and 8-foot interior and exterior doors immediately give the main level a sense of scale, while gorgeous radius openings, designer lighting, and thoughtful architectural details keep it anything but basic. The kitchen is a showstopper with stunning semi-custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, toe-kick lighting, custom tiled hood, open shelving, beautiful island, large windows, coffee bar with additional storage, stainless appliance package (including the refrigerator) and an 8ft full-glass door that opens directly outside. The butler's pantry, adjacent to the dining room, adds both storage and personality. And don't miss the powder room--it has an attitude all its own. The oversized primary suite is genuinely HUGE, with a spacious walk-in closet and beautifully finished bath featuring a custom tiled walk-in shower, double vanity, and private water closet. The split floor plan offers two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath also located on the main level, along with a dedicated laundry room and mudroom offering convenient access directly from the newly poured driveway. Downstairs, the basement dramatically expands the home's usable space with two massive open recreation areas ready for movie nights, games, workouts, hobbies, or whatever you can dream up, plus an additional smaller room that makes a great office or flex space. LVP flooring runs throughout the home for a clean, low maintenance finish. Outside, cement-board siding and painted brick give the home a fresh, distinctive exterior, complemented by new landscaping, a newly poured driveway and custom walkways, along with a backyard storage shed. All of this is tucked into established Chilhowee Hills with incredibly convenient interstate access and Downtown Knoxville only 10 minutes away. Old address. Almost entirely new house. Absolutely nothing cookie-cutter about it. Welcome Home!
