Historic Boyd Harvey House and Grounds by RedAwning
Experience the fun of a historic southern home with all the modern
conveniences. Wander the grounds, swim, enjoy the hot tub, enjoy a round of
billiards or pitch a few horse shoes, end the day with a nice fire next to the
stable that has been converted into a bar.
Built in 1835 the Boyd Harvey House has a history rich in southern
agriculture, commerce, and traditions. It is a beautiful architectural example
of a pre-Civil War, brick, Federal-style, farmhouse and represents one of the
12 pre-Civil War brick homes still standing in Knoxville. Inspired by living
in this unique home, the beautiful East Tennessee area, and from growing up in
Asheville, NC, current owner, Anne Tillotson White allowed the perfect synergy
between preservation and luxury.
The quaint two acre property has a historical zone overlay and is home, not
only to the main Boyd Harvey House, but also to the Boyd Harvey Carriage
House. The Carriage House is detached from the main house and located on the
westside of the property. You can book them together to accomodate larger
groups or small gatherings.
This listing is for the 1835 suite:
-The two loft bedrooms consist of one bedroom that has a queen bed, a desk, tv, and an en suite bathroom. It has a shower and separate tub. This bedroom also has its own private staircase.
The second loft bedroom has a king bed, a queen pullout sleeper sofa, a desk,
a tv, a walk-in closet and it’s own private staircase.
Both loft bedrooms are separated by a door from 1920 that is lockable on
either side. The space can be used as one large suite or two separate
bedrooms. The entire loft space also has its own nest thermostat.
The loft space also comes with a second full bathroom that is on the main
level of the house.
Along with renting the loft space, guests have access to the main floor area
of the house and a well appointed kitchen equipped with a Sub-Zero fridge and
6 burner gas range. The home is approximately 4200 ft.².and contains the
Boxwood Billiard Parlor, the Peony Parlor, the Evergreen Room for meetings or
dining. The entire Boyd Harvey property has high end furnishings and
decorations to suit any family, business meeting, or special occasion!
*The owner lives on site in a private 2nd floor suite that is on the second floor but only accessible by a 3rd private staircase located in the foyer. The rentable loft space and the owner’s suite do not connect and are separated by a solid wall that is 3 bricks thick.
Boyd Harvey House is a traditional brick farmhouse that still has the original
wrap around porch. Half of it is screened in and contains seating at bistro
tables and a farmhouse table for up to 16 people. It also contains a 72 inch
Apple TV that has the same capacities as the TVs in the Evergreen and Boxwood
rooms for business meetings.
Other amenities on the outside area that come along with renting the loft
space are as follows:
This property may be rented with an optional breakfast service for guests from
7-9 am each day at an additional charge.
-Pool and Hot Tub: Salt water pool and built in hot tub with seating around pool which includes 4 lounge chairs and a Kingsley-Bate teak dining table.
The amenities are available only to guests staying at the property.
-Pool Courtyard is a 1000 sq foot (20’ x 50’) custom designed pea gravel and handmade brick area that contains 4 high end outdoor cushioned club chairs, 2 sofas, 4 chairs, and a gas fire pit.
-Tennessee Tri-Star Stable is a 600 sq ft covered area with a 12 ft custom barnwood bar, 2 club chairs, sofa, and multiple dining tables, whiskey barrels and our antique buggy that originated from a store-Broyles, MS Clellan & Lackey Co.- which specialized in selling agricultural equipment and buggies in downtown Knoxville on South Gay Street in 1903. It is great for photoshoots and gives a nice living example of the type of transportation that was used in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
-Tennessee Tri-Star Stable also has a large fire pit area with 8 adirondack chairs.
-2500 square-foot Simmons Shade Garden has the ability to seat up to 24 people at its long table and has bistro lights strung amongst the old trees.
