Pull up to 1923 Chestnut Grove and the property announces itself before you reach the door. Nearly two acres of wooded privacy in the heart of West Knoxville's Hardin Valley -- less than two miles from Turkey Creek and minutes from I-40. There are maybe a handful of properties in all of Knox County where you get this kind of acreage this close to everything. The land alone is the kind of thing people wait years for and still don't find.
Ornate wrought iron fencing and gates wrap the full acreage and frame the in-ground pool, the kind of detail that is simply not replicated in new construction at any price. The brick exterior, the professionally landscaped grounds, the turreted breakfast nook that juts from the facade -- this is a home that was designed with intention and built to last.
Inside, the same standard holds. The judges paneling in the great room is the kind of woodwork that stops people mid-sentence. The kitchen floor is bluestone -- the same material used in Stonehenge -- which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care behind this build. The primary suite occupies its own wing: a bedroom running 19 by 21 feet, a bath that nearly matches it, and a Juliet balcony that looks out over the property. That is not a primary suite. That is a retreat.
The basement adds another dimension entirely. Partially finished, it holds a second kitchen anchored by an industrial-grade gas stove and range, a stone fireplace, a full bathroom, and a large workshop -- a space that becomes whatever you need it to be.
This is a restoration opportunity for someone who already knows what they want their life to look like. Listed below recent appraised value. 5,083 SQ above grade 1213 SQ finished in Basement, the acreage, the craftsmanship, the location -- none of it is replaceable. In a West Knoxville market where estate homes on nearly two acres simply do not come available, this is the one you do not walk past.
This is not a flip. This is a legacy property for someone who knows the difference.
