Property Description
Built in 1889, the Lou-Mar House is a Queen Anne Victorian masterpiece by architect David Getaz, known for his work on the Knox County Courthouse. Once home to prominent families, it stands as one of East Tennessee's finest architectural examples and has been featured in HGTV and Knox News Sentinel. Enter through etched-glass double doors into a grand foyer showcasing six wood species. The parlor includes a custom mural by Mara Wilson, while the gentleman's parlor is now a maple wood library. The dining room boasts a boxed beam ceiling, with intricate woodwork, moldings, and period lighting throughout. Nine stained-glass windows, five ornamental fireplaces, and high-efficiency upgrades from 2023 add historic charm and modern comfort. The primary en suite features marble, custom cabinetry, and Rohl hardware, while first-floor baths have similar high-end finishes. The outdoor kitchen, completed in 2021, includes Blaze appliances, a gas fireplace, and a Sonos system. Landscaped grounds and a fully renovated carriage house offer versatile outdoor spaces. The main house provides six bedrooms, three and a half baths, a library, and a family room addition with a three-car garage. The renovated carriage house has two bedrooms and one and a half baths, ideal for guests or additional living space. Situated on a double lot at Scott and Harvey Streets, with a gated yard for privacy, the Lou-Mar House is minutes from downtown Knoxville, near restaurants, coffee shops, and a short bike ride to Gay Street and the University of Tennessee. The Great Smoky Mountains are just 45 minutes away, and an art magnet elementary school is nearby. This estate combines historic elegance with modern amenities, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Knoxville's history. With its timeless architecture, luxurious finishes, and inviting spaces, the Lou-Mar House is truly unique in Knoxville.
