517 margrave drive

Step back in time and experience the grace of a bygone era at 517 Margrave Drive, a Late Victorian / Folk Queen Anne residence built circa 1895 - 1900 in the heart of Harriman's Margrave Drive Historic District. This home is more than a place to live; it's a living piece of Tennessee History, exquisitely updated while preserving its timeless character. With its steep gabled roof, wraparound porch, and ornamental spindle-work, this residence embodies the charm of Folk Victorian architecture; a simplified yet elegant interpretation of the Queen Anne style that flourished in small-town America at the turn of the century. The home retains excellent historic integrity, showcasing its original massing, porch form, and interior woodwork. Each detail reflects the craftsmanship and optimism of Harriman's founding era, when Margrave Drive, Cornstalk Heights, along with other districts were the premier residential districts of the city. While steeped in history, the home has been thoughtfully modernized to meet today's standards of comfort and convenience. New kitchen cabinets, appliances, and granite countertops bring a fresh sophistication to the heart of the home. Both full bathrooms fully updated, new engineered wood floors, new carpet on the stairs and upstairs; refinished porch enhances the home's livability while honoring its heritage; updated lighting, paint, and HVAC have been sensitively integrated without compromising the home's historic character. The property's spacious fenced-in backyard offers a private retreat framed by mature trees and lush landscaping; perfect for gatherings, gardening, or quiet reflection. The wraparound porch invites you to enjoy morning coffee or evening breezes. Owning 517 Margrave Drive means becoming a steward of history! Enjoy the photos and schedule your showing today!
