Description
Supplements: west and downtown Knoxville, Park West Hospital, Interstates 40/75, the airport, and Oak Ridge. Once you turn onto the quarter mile long, concrete, gated, serpentine driveway, the busy urban world begins to fade. You are now in your own old growth forest full of towering hardwoods. Turn a corner and the property opens up to a large sloped lawn, and you see the imposing facade of the residence above. You instantly realize this is no ordinary log home. The design and materials used are unique and impressive. Custom wood finishes, giant stone fireplaces and vaulted wood-beamed ceilings are in almost every room. Look at some of the luxurious amenities. The 29' tall grand dining hall features a see-through wood burning stone fireplace on one side, and a wall of windows on the other, allowing tree top views of the nearby foothills and the Great Smoky Mountains beyond. Next to the dining hall, is a large cozy living/TV room with wood floors, beamed ceiling and a see-through fireplace shared with the dining room. A powder room half-bath, complete with an antique vanity and copper sink, is conveniently adjacent to the living room, kitchen, and pantry. The large open concept eat-in kitchen was designed for entertaining with a tall bar counter, which also adjoins the large sunroom, perfect for visiting with friends while meals are prepared. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances including two Frigidaire Professional 30" ovens, a Whirlpool 5 burner gas cooktop plus a Jennair indoor grill cooktop, a GE Profile 30" warming drawer, classic SubZero over-and- under refrigerator/freezer with cabinet panel front, microwave, prep sink, dishwasher, and disposal. Anyone who cooks will love the 40' of solid surface counter tops! The owner's suite, on the main level, features a sitting room with private kitchen access, a see-through wood burning stone fireplace, a large ensuite bathroom with walk- in shower, soaking jetted tub and beautiful wooded view. The master walk-in closet is all cedar. In the back of the home is a considerably sized office/craft room/ laundry room with an exterior door to the back patio. All three upper level bedrooms have vaulted ceilings, ensuite bathrooms, and cedar closets. One of the three is actually a large second master suite with a wood burning fireplace, and a mailbox. The upper level also features a vaulted family/TV room and library as well. The library is complete with built-in book cases and a rolling library ladder, while whimsical, is very functional. The lower level is enormous and provides for abundant storage. Two separate garages provide indoor parking for up to six cars and/or toys and equipment, an auto mechanics pit, full bath with tiled walk-in shower/full laundry combination, and a large recreation room with luxury vinyl tile flooring and two french doors opening to the lower patio. Outdoor living spaces extend around the whole home with a 100' teakwood deck across the entire south side of the house. On the west side, the deck becomes a 40' covered side porch with a porch swing with steps to a beautiful half-acre side yard. The back side (N) of the residence features a knee-walled paver floored patio with outdoor dining and a stone fire pit. This one-of-a-kind East Tennessee estate gives you the feeling of being miles from everything, yet it is super conveniently located. With postcard views from every room inside, cozy outdoor living areas outside, and almost 13 acres of your own land to walk and take pleasure in, you can make the most of TN outdoor recreation and relaxation without leaving your property!
