This large, upscale marble house features unique historic character including custom tile, hardwood floors, marble stairs, two kitchen areas, bathrooms with 24k gold tiles, brass inlaid terrazzo flooring, and many other vintage features throughout.

Midcentury modern and industrial style furnishings with moody, earthy textures compliment the existing architectural elements to create comfortable, elegant spaces, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and making memories together. This home is truly historic, hardwoods that squeak when as you walk and vintage fixtures in bathrooms with floor to ceiling tile that reflect the 1940's era. We've designed this home to be as cozy and comfortable as possible while still preserving all the elements that make it special. We invite you to step back in time in these spaces and hope you enjoy these classic retro characteristics as much as we do!

The charm carries over not only in the unique interior spaces, but outdoors as well, most notably in the large, private backyard. The huge, fully fenced in backyard boasts a massive pool with spacious lounging deck, iron gate, outdoor dining area under string lights, and eclectic mosaic tile sidewalks. Not only is this unique home gorgeous, but the space has been intentionally designed with our guests in mind. Guests can enjoy two large living rooms with Smart TVs, spacious bedrooms, formal dining room, a fully stocked coffee station and pool floats for enjoying the backyard to the fullest. Whether you're spending time inside, enjoying the private backyard, or having a night out on the town, this home is the perfect fit for your Knoxville stay.

Located just off Cumberland/Kingston Pike, the only thing that matches this home's gorgeous display of historic architecture is its ideal location.
