Grab the kids and your picnic basket and head to Caves Cove for some bear watching and cold river toe dipping. Not to mention tailgating or joining the Vol Navy at the University of Tennessee this fall. Go Big Orange! The current and previous owners have been bestowed the honor of "Keepers of Gray Tower." The sellers' have invested over $150,000 in upgrades and updating all the systems from foundation to the roof! All the maintenance, structural integrity, mechanical, roof and too many more items to mention, that each home has to complete every 15 to 25 years have been taking care of for you. Gray Tower, established in 1896 by world renowned architect, George Barber is stately, iconic and timeless. Even with all of her grandeur she is comfortable enough for everyday living. Commonly known as the pink house, this large 4471 square foot home is listed in the National Historic Registry of Places. The property owner's are in possession of all of the documents in the library that show the original house plans (white for most of her life and easy enough to change back too as the guidelines are fairly easy - just no neon colors). The book holds the original contract, purchases, deeds, skeleton keys and more. The old adage, "they don't make them like they used to", is an understatement with regards to this unique and compelling piece of real estate. The footprint lives large with soaring twelve foot ceilings on both the first and second floors and spacious common areas along with five bedrooms, three full and two half bathrooms. Linger awhile, notice the details, imagine how you can make this exceptional property your new home and also realizing that there is something about Gray Tower, that draws you in, encouraging you to slow down, recapture moments, take back your weekends engaging with neighbors, exploring your community and truly establishing roots. While we think this home is perfect, we understand that today's buyer might need a floor plan that suits their particular needs in a different way than featured here. Don't discount the fact that these rooms are huge, especially by today's new construction standards. The great news is the current rooms can be transformed to fit today's desired living. The music room/formal living room would make a dramatic dining room. Impress friends and family at the holidays with meals street side while neighboring carolers and luminaries welcome in the winter festivities. Can you imagine the porch, four square English Garden and brick wall draped in garland? Oh my! What would you do with the current dining room you say? This 19 ft room can easily become an elegant and spacious kitchen with a 10 ft island perfect for today's families or ultimate entertainer. Use the current kitchen as a caterer's kitchen or butler's pantry. The options are limitless. Perhaps you do not need a great room with a pool table. Let's talk about switching that up to a perfect spot for a large family style table placed in front of the wall of windows overlooking that dreamy backyard. Flank some comfy sofas on each side of the fireplace, hang a dramatic light fixture and wow, you just created a weekend retreat. A sanctuary. A quiet spot to recharge from a hectic lifestyle. This fall, grab your coat and that special someone and walk across the Maryville College woods and enjoy dinner, drinks and then S'Mores by the fire at RT Lodge. Are you sold yet? Gray Tower isn't just a home. Gray Tower is "the home". A lifestyle you deserve. Are you ready now? We are. Let us place that ever important book of history in your hands. You are the next "Keeper of the Gray Tower". A Choice Home Warranty will convey free of charge to the buyer at closing. Value of warranty is $420.00.
