One day. That’s all it took.

8705 Cranwood Drive hit the market and was under contract before most people even had a chance to schedule a showing. And if you know Knoxville’s west side — the Bearden corridor, the Merrywood neighborhood, the kind of established tree-lined streets that feel like a neighborhood actually means something — you know exactly why.

I’m continuing to show while inspection is finalized. So if this is the one you’ve been waiting for, call me. Backup offers absolutely welcome.

The Home

Built in 1964 and sitting on a level 0.38-acre lot in the heart of Merrywood Unit 1, this classic tri-level has the kind of bones and character that newer construction simply cannot replicate. Hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, insulated windows, a finished walkout basement, and 2,122 square feet of thoughtfully laid out living space — this home has been loved and it shows.

Four bedrooms and three full baths give everyone their own space, while the tri-level floor plan creates natural separation between living, gathering, and sleeping areas that open floor plans just can’t deliver. The kitchen and dining flow together seamlessly, and the family room anchors the main level with warmth and comfort.

Downstairs the finished basement rec room opens up endless possibilities — a media room, a home gym, a playroom, a home office, or the kind of hangout space that becomes everyone’s favorite spot in the house. Add extra storage and a walkout to the backyard and this lower level is as functional as it is flexible.

The Details That Make It Special

That wood-burning fireplace. The hardwood floors throughout. The covered porch and deck for outdoor living. The two-car attached carport keeping your vehicles covered. The storage shed out back. Internet available. Walk-in shower. Washer and dryer connections ready to go.

No HOA. No restrictions. Just a solid, character-filled home in one of Knoxville’s most desirable westside zip codes — 37923 — with A.L. Lotts Elementary, West Valley Middle, and the highly regarded Bearden High School all within reach.

Cash, Conventional, FHA, and VA financing all accepted — this one is accessible to a wide range of buyers which is exactly why it didn’t last a single day.

Pending — but still showing. Don’t wait.
