2508 Lakefront Dr Knoxville, TN 37922

Listing details for 2508 Lakefront Dr, Knoxville, TN 37922 : ENTIRELY CUSTOM, LAKE VIEW, THIS HOME IS TRULY A PIECE OF ART. This house adheres to the classical elements of modernism, using an analytical approach to the function of the building, a strictly rational use of materials, an openness to structural innovation, and the elimination of ornament. A smart and energy-conscious structure with thoughtful use of space, simplicity of design and entirely custom. Constructed with a wall of full-height glass windows overlooking the lake, the rest of the facade uses architectural concrete. A separate open garage connects to the house with a wooden bridge and walkway, which is protected from the road and elements with a steel wall. The interior of the home is light, airy and comfortable-a study in tall ceilings, polished concrete floors, exposed steel support beams, and exposed ventilation. The open kitchen sits directly in the center of the main floor. The southern facing wall of ceiling height windows with powered semi-opaque shades provides passive solar heat in the winter and blocks the heat in the summer. In the kitchen, as throughout the house, LED light strips at the foot of the cabinets create soft illuminated downlight on the floor. The dining area opens directly onto the covered porch with a NanaWall allowing for a large entertaining space. Seamless transitions on the floors between rooms result in an uninterrupted flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The built-in custom cabinetry is the same throughout the house, flush to the wall with minimal hardware. Taking advantage of every available space, beneath the staircase and behind doors, to provide an astonishing amount of storage space without overwhelming the living areas with bulky cabinets. There are several outdoor spaces that are sure to delight...enjoy a drink on the rooftop deck, do yoga on the private courtyard, entertain guest on the covered porch open to the kitchen and overlooking the lake, or let the kids play on the side turf yard. Every aspect of this home is so intentional and well thought out.
