Listing details for 2420 Craghead Ln, Knoxville, TN 37920 : Welcome to 2420 Craghead Ln, Knoxville, TN 37920—a breathtaking ~3,100+ sq ft estate making its debut on the market for the very first time! This architectural gem, perched atop the bluffs overlooking the Tennessee River and the University of Tennessee, was meticulously designed and built by Knoxville icon Lt. Colonel James A. Bowers and his wife, Mary Lee. Every detail of this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath masterpiece reflects their vision of timeless elegance, unparalleled functionality, and enduring quality. Nestled on an expansive 4-acre double lot enveloped by serene woodlands, this property offers a rare blend of seclusion and convenience. Just minutes from Downtown Knoxville and the UT Campus & Medical Center, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds—peace & privacy with the vibrancy of the city at your fingertips. For those with an eye for opportunity, the lot can potentially be split into two, offering the chance to build a second residence or sell separately. Step inside, and you'll be captivated by the thoughtfully crafted floor plan, where a central hub houses the grand front entrance, spacious kitchen, cozy living room with wood burning fireplace, and a convenient dining area. From here, distinct wings branch out to create private retreats: a sleeping quarters wing, a sun-soaked family room, and a 3-car carport. Each wing opens to expansive outdoor patios and decks, where panoramic views of the wooded landscape and river await. The industrial-modern kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting custom stainless steel countertops, a striking conical range hood, top-of-the-line appliances, and a generous walk-in pantry. The adjacent sunroom is a showstopper with its floor-to-ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings, and exposed wood beams—an ideal spot to soak in the natural beauty surrounding you. The main-level family wing houses three generously sized bedrooms, each featuring wall-to-wall windows that frame the lush backyard and lead directly to the rear outdoor living space. The master suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a generous en-suite bathroom with heated floors and a one-of-a-kind dual-sided closet accessible from both the bedroom and bath. The second and third bedrooms, adorned with gleaming hardwood floors, share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and include beautifully designed built-in wardrobes and dressers. Downstairs, the lower level offers incredible versatility with a full bath, a fourth bedroom /office, and two additional rooms - one with a free-standing gas fireplace - currently used as offices but easily adaptable as flex spaces or extra sleeping accommodations. A separate basement entrance makes this area ideal for a home-based business, an in-law suite, or a private guest retreat. This home is packed with high-end features that elevate everyday living: solid wood doors throughout, a whole-home speaker system, a Generac back-up power generator, and a whole-home air cleaner. Whether you envision this as your family's forever estate or Knoxville's next premier short-term rental or Airbnb, the possibilities are endless. Perfectly positioned for those craving proximity to downtown Knoxville, the University of Tennessee, the Smoky Mountains, and McGhee Tyson Airport, this estate offers an unmatched lifestyle.
