The Joseph Knaffl House, located on Speedway Circle in East Knoxville, is now available to new owners. Moved from Gay street in 1927 to make room for the Andrew Johnson Hotel, this two-story, four bedroom, and 2.5 bath home received the Mayor of Knoxville Award from Knox Heritage for the full top-to-bottom, front-to-back restoration after previous owners completed gutted the home of original woodwork, windows and mantles. The marble facade has been meticulously restored, as well as the lime-washed brick exterior walls. The entire home fills with light from the generous glazing and warmth of restored original flooring. On the first floor are soaring ceilings, salvaged oak floors, and a new kitchen. Off a hallway between the living and dining areas is a new powder room under the stairs leading to the primary suite. The primary bathroom features marble tiled shower floor and quartz curb and shelf. Upstairs includes three bedrooms connected by a hallway which includes a laundry center and bathroom with a double vanity and tub shower. The level lot includes off street parking with alley access. Speedway Circle was developed by famed Cal Johnson as an early 1900s horse track before redevelopment into residential lots. It is located moments from I-40, the Knoxville Zoo, the Muse, the Botanical Gardens, and the new Smokies Stadium. Rarely does a home of this prominence become available- it is truly a once-in-a-generation opportunity! A vacant, separately-deeded lot adjacent is also available in a separate listing. Prior to scheduling showing, please read agent instructions and disclosures. Owner/Agent.
