About

Set on more than an acre in the quiet Majestic Meadows subdivision with views toward the Smokies, this all-brick custom home with stone accents welcomes you with a covered rocking-chair front porch and lush, mature landscaping that make an unforgettable first impression. Step through the wrought-iron-and-glass front door into an open-concept floor plan with soaring vaulted ceilings, where the great room, kitchen, and dining area flow together beneath abundant recessed lighting. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a private den perfect for a home office, and an oversized great room give you room to spread out, while a true chef's kitchen anchors the home with new quartz countertops, a tiled backsplash, crown-topped solid wood cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and a vented range hood. Solid 3/4'' hickory hardwood runs through the main living areas with tile in every wet area. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, with a tray ceiling, private porch access, a corner jacuzzi tub with a built-in heater, dual vanities, a heavy-duty exhaust fan that clears shower humidity fast, and his-and-hers walk-in closets with custom built-in drawers and shelving. The second bath also offers dual sinks, and storage runs deep throughout the home, from a pantry and double-door linen closet to a large walk-in storage room and a convenient mudroom drop zone off the garage entry. Outdoor living is just as thoughtful. Trex composite decking wraps the front and rear porches, a screened porch with a ceiling fan sits under a full truss roof, and an oversized concrete patio overlooks a private, beautifully landscaped backyard with multi-zone irrigation. Inside, a natural gas remote-controlled fireplace with a raised stone hearth and custom wrought-iron mantle warms the great room on cooler nights. A dedicated laundry room with cabinetry and a sink adds everyday convenience, and for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone who just needs space, this property is hard to beat: an oversized attached 2 car garage, a basement-level tractor garage, and a detached garage with running water, currently set up as a full home gym (fitness equipment WILL NOT be included in the sale of this home unless otherwise specified). The craftsmanship goes well beyond what you can see. Look for 2x6 exterior framing throughout -- including the detached garage -- with R-21 wall insulation, metal (not plastic) HVAC ductwork, a dual gas/electric heat pump system with a variable-speed air handler serviced twice a year, low-E insulated vinyl windows, 6'' gutters with underground drainage away from the foundation, a hardwired security system, and a walk-in crawl space for easy utility access and even more storage. An HOA fee of just $100 a year keeps the neighborhood polished without the overhead. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously built, move-in-ready home with privacy, acreage, and mountain views just minutes from Knoxville. Schedule your private showing today!
