Listing details for 1430 Brookemeade Ave, Maryville, TN 37804 : Own a Piece of Maryville History — The Rorex Homestead Nestled on 1.54 serene, park-like acres in the prestigious Brookemeade at River Shoals, this extraordinary residence is believed to be one of the oldest homes in Blount County. Constructed prior to 1850 by the Rorex family, the home once anchored a 3,000-acre sheep farm and has since become a cherished piece of Maryville's heritage. Steeped in history and thoughtfully modernized, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home masterfully blends historic charm with today's comforts. A significant renovation just 12 years ago respected the original craftsmanship while introducing updated systems and stunning enhancements throughout. Step inside to a grand foyer with the charming historic staircase and be transported to another era. The parlor, under soaring 9.5-foot ceilings, features a brick fireplace and original built-in bookcase, creating a cozy yet elegant space. The delightful kitchen, situated with views of the private backyard, is well appointed with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a center island, cabinets extending to the wood ceiling, and reclaimed barnwood floors. A stone wood-burning fireplace and original chestnut hutch add irreplaceable character. Adjacent is a charming breakfast nook—ideal for your morning coffee ritual—and a formal dining room that stuns with a second chestnut hutch, antique chandelier, fireplace, and French doors opening to the north-facing sunroom, where you can enjoy the expanse of the private grounds. A second, southern sunroom boasts wood-paneled walls bathed in sunlight—perfect for reading or tending to your favorite plants. All four bedrooms are generously sized, each with rare-for-its-era walk-in closets. The main floor ensuite includes a beautifully renovated bath with a jetted, walk-in tiled shower and heated ceramic flooring. Two additional full baths have been stylishly updated with a nod to the home's origins. The home also features a versatile bonus room with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a first-floor laundry/mudroom, and abundant storage throughout. Outside, a historic 1830s log smokehouse stands as a reminder of the past, while the newly built (2020) two-car garage with attached heated and cooled studio offers modern utility. Enjoy your own quiet oasis with a koi pond, mature trees, and no visible neighbors in sight. As a resident of Brookemeade at River Shoals, you'll also enjoy exclusive access to the private 8-acre Arden Park along the historic Blount Beach shoreline. This is far more than a house—it's a timeless legacy waiting to be passed down and celebrated for generations to come. Showings available beginning Saturday, June 28th
