About the property

Renovated 5BR Traditional on a Private 1.33‑Acre Lot

The first thing you notice arriving at 6518 Westminster Road is the generous, private lot — 1.33 acres of rolling yard that sets this traditional home comfortably apart from its neighbors. Built in 1997 and thoughtfully updated, the 4,446-square-foot residence sits on a circular driveway and opens to a cathedral-ceiling great room where scale and proportion make everyday living feel elevated without being fussy.

The heart of the house is its renovated kitchen: a chef-forward layout with modern appliances, clean lines, and finishes that support both weekday routines and dinner‑party moments. From the kitchen the plan extends to a sunroom and a screened porch — indoor/outdoor spaces that expand the house’s entertaining options and frame views across the wooded lot. A fireplace anchors the great room, and strategically placed windows reveal the home’s private setting without sacrificing privacy.

The primary suite reads like a retreat: a generous bedroom, a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and rainfall shower, and ample closet space. Four additional bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms deliver flexible living — ideal for families, multigenerational households, or long-term guests. Downstairs, the finished walk‑out basement includes a full bath and bedroom, providing a natural guest suite, home office, or media room with direct access to the yard.

Practical systems include central heating and cooling and a two-car attached garage; construction is stucco, block, and frame. The rolling topography presents both attractive sightlines and opportunities for landscaping or outdoor enhancements. Located in Westminster Ridge, the property pairs a secluded, wooded feel with convenient proximity to Lakeshore Park (about 1.2 miles), Northshore Drive, the University of Tennessee, and downtown Knoxville — a balance of suburban calm and city access.

This home was purchased in late 2023 and has since benefited from extensive renovations that modernize finishes and living spaces while retaining the home’s traditional bones. With generous indoor square footage, multiple entertaining areas, and a large, private lot, 6518 Westminster Road will appeal to buyers seeking thoughtful updates, room to grow, and easy access to Knoxville’s parks and cultural amenities.

Editorial market perspective

Westminster Ridge and the surrounding Northshore corridor are trading in a balanced market with slightly constrained inventory. Current local metrics show roughly 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 45 — conditions that give active sellers confidence while still allowing prepared buyers room to negotiate. Median sale prices in this submarket are strong: recent reports place median area prices around $950,000, with comparable traditional homes within two miles selling between $1,050,000 and $1,150,000 over the last 12 months. That pricing band aligns with a valuation estimate for this property of approximately $1,050,000–$1,150,000 (midpoint $1,100,000), or about $247/sf.

Single‑family homes like this one—larger-lot, renovated traditional houses—remain in demand among families and professionals seeking proximity to Lakeshore Park and the University of Tennessee. Rental demand is also robust: comparable leases indicate strong rental rates (~$4,400–$4,600/month) for similar-sized properties, supporting investor interest. Given modest year-over-year appreciation (~5%) and a five‑year appreciation trend near 25%, this is a market where well‑positioned, updated homes move steadily. For buyers, that means a chance to secure a high-quality property in a neighborhood with demonstrated appreciation; for sellers, it’s a moment when polished presentations and accurate pricing typically yield timely offers.
