The Story
408 Abner Cruze Road
Set on 1.17 acres in a convenient South Knoxville location, this meticulously maintained brick split-level home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, accessibility, and meaningful updates. Positioned between Chapman Highway and John Sevier Highway--with private direct access to the rear of the property from John Sevier--the location provides easy connectivity while the mature trees and generous lawn create a lush peaceful setting. Inside, the home has been exceptionally well cared for and offers a comfortable, functional layout with plenty of personality. The main level features a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace, laminate flooring, and an adjoining dining area that opens to the large back deck. The charming kitchen is bright and inviting, with soft sage cabinetry, butcher block countertops, classic subway tile backsplash, stainless hood and appliance package (with the refrigerator included), beautiful wallpaper detail and open shelving for a relaxed modern feel. Three bedrooms on the main level feature original sand-and-finish hardwood flooring, including the generously sized primary bedroom with a private ensuite bath and walk-in shower. Downstairs the possibilities expand with a large recreation room anchored by a second wood-burning fireplace and half bath. An additional finished room that has been used as a fourth bedroom also adds to the downstairs as a space that offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or a hobby room. An oversized two-car garage with insulated garage doors provides excellent parking, storage, and workspace, while the laundry area includes a brilliant inline secondary filtering system with easy access for the dryer; an amazing way to assist in preventing house fires due to lint build up. Outside, there is room to spread out beneath beautiful mature trees on the expansive 1.17 acre lot. The large back deck is perfect for entertaining or quiet outdoor living. The substantial 12' x 20' storage building is thoughtfully designed and includes overhead storage space. Major improvements on the home include a new water heater in 2026, roof in 2025, electrical panel in 2024, HVAC in 2022, windows are approximately five years old, and the home has previously updated PEX and PVC plumbing. With over an acre, ample living spaces, two wood-burning fireplaces, abundant storage, significant updates, and quick access to both Chapman and John Sevier Highway, Alcoa, UT, and Downtown Knoxville, this exceptionally well-kept property offers a combination of space, convenience, and versatility that is increasingly hard to find.
