1403 Laurel Ave Knoxville, TN 37916

Incredible opportunity to live close to the University of Tennessee campus and downtown Knoxville in this stunning, contemporary style 4BR/2.5BA home with separate 1BR/1.5BA guesthouse over a detached 2 car garage.
1403 Laurel Avenue sits on top of the hill in the Fort Sanders neighborhood. Main house was designed by and custom built for a UT Professor/visual artist in 1990. Constructed with superb workmanship and high-quality materials throughout (Exterior - 2x6 framing, R19 insulation, cement stucco siding that has been meticulously maintained; Interior - custom windows and trim, all cabinetry built by local craftsman or special ordered). The climate controlled 2 car garage with approximate 690 SF guesthouse (not included in overall square footage) was added by current owners in 2001 and was constructed by the original builder with the same superior craftsmanship. The garage has ample storage and workbench features. An elegant courtyard with privacy walls connects the two houses.
The interior of the main home offers an atmosphere of serenity. Architectural details include: a magnificent, curved wall that serves as the focal point as you enter and approach the living area, custom built-ins in the living room, a round window on the upper level that perfectly frames Mount LeConte.
Main level features a spacious living room, large dining room, a guest bedroom/office, powder room, and a custom kitchen with gorgeous eco-friendly soapstone counters, large center island and two sinks/prep stations. Upstairs you will find a large primary suite with walk in closet, 2 guest bedrooms, guest bath and a laundry area off the foyer. Beautifully refinished white oak hardwoods on both levels of the home and an abundance of natural light in every room.
Behind the main house is a private gated courtyard; the perfect spot for entertaining guests or relaxing. Beyond the courtyard is the 2 car garage with 1BR/1.5BA guesthouse above with separate entrance. You'll find beautiful hardwood floors in living room, bedroom and kitchen with tile in both bathrooms. Guesthouse is being sold fully furnished and includes all appliances, washer/dryer, linens, and all kitchen items.
Current owners have enjoyed the freedom from car dependency for the past 24 years, with campus (including Neyland Stadium, Thompson-Bowling Arena, and the Clarence Brown Theater), downtown, Market Square restaurants, and World's Fair Park events only a short distance away. 1403 Laurel Avenue will reward its owner with the ultimate experience in urban living.
