If walls could talk, this grand old home would spin tales of front porch mornings, laughter echoing through pocket doors, and the clink of glasses from summer evenings beneath a cherry-colored sky.
Nestled in the heart of East Tennessee, Cherry Villa is a rare and romantic relic of a time when homes were crafted, not constructed. Built in 1914 and painstakingly preserved, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath manor stretches over 3,200 square feet of elegant, finished living space—with an additional 1,800 square feet below in a walk-out basement that would make any dreamer itch to create.
The original hardwoods run like rivers through the home—wide-planked, warm, and worn in all the right ways. Crown moldings, tall ceilings, and large sun-welcoming windows nod to a time when every inch was made to last, and every room held its own story. And yet, the modern world has crept in quietly—updated appliances, fresh paint, improved landscaping—all the conveniences you expect today, without disturbing the spirit of yesterday.
The primary suite on the main level brings together comfort and charm with a double-sided fireplace, a soaking tub, and a remodeled bath that somehow still feels old-world. Upstairs, another suite awaits, along with two more spacious bedrooms and generous closet space that would've made Twain himself raise an eyebrow.
Out back, past the paver patio and hand-laid fire pit, stands the 2020-built Carriage House. A modern Craftsman beauty—multi-car garage below, and above it, a partially finished space ready to become your next big idea: a guest apartment, creative studio, Airbnb, or that elusive man cave.
The grounds sprawl across nearly an acre and a half of soul-soothing landscape—heirloom plantings, and perennial beds blooming from spring to fall. It's the sort of place where time slows down, but never stops. Where you can live like yesterday, with the luxury of today.
Cherry Villa isn't just a home—it's a story waiting for its next chapter.
