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.
