Perched atop Black Oak Ridge, 1318 N Briscoe Circle is the kind of home that doesn't come along often--a true mid-century tri-level with personality, presence, and sweeping mountain views that remind you exactly why East Tennessee is so special. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a layout that offers both openness and separation, this home balances character and functionality in a way that feels effortless.
Inside, natural light pours through an abundance of windows, highlighting the home's architectural lines and thoughtful updates. The main level has been extensively renovated, featuring a beautifully redesigned kitchen with new cabinetry, a pantry, stainless appliances, a hex tile backsplash, and a central island that anchors the space. Knotty pine accents and carefully selected lighting add warmth and texture, while subtle pops of color throughout the home give it a distinctive, curated feel. Just off the main living area, a sunroom offers a bright and inviting space to relax, read, or enjoy the surrounding views year-round.
The oversized primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with its own sitting area--perfect for a quiet morning, home office, or private escape at the end of the day. Across all three levels, the home offers flexibility for how you live, work, and unwind.
What truly sets this property apart is the setting. Positioned high on the ridge, the home captures stunning mountain views and is surrounded by mature landscaping, creating both privacy and a sense of place. Outdoor updates, including new exterior stonework, fresh paint, updated wood shingles, and a newly poured front porch with railing, enhance both curb appeal and longevity.
Over the years, this home has been thoughtfully improved with major updates including a full first-floor renovation (kitchen, living room, and sunroom), second-floor laundry addition, multiple bathroom renovations, updated flooring, drywall, insulation, wiring, and more--offering peace of mind without sacrificing character.
Despite its tucked-away feel, the location remains incredibly convenient--just minutes to Fountain City, local favorites like Wren House, Cultivate Coffee and Flowers, and Pratt's Country Store, as well as Tommy Shumpert Park, Adair Park, and Beverly Park. House Mountain is just a short drive for hiking and views, while downtown Knoxville, Market Square, the University of Tennessee, and Bearden are all within approximately 15-25 minutes, making it easy to enjoy both nature and city life.
A rare architectural find, a meaningful setting, and a home that has been both preserved and improved with intention--1318 N Briscoe Circle is one you truly have to experience to appreciate.
