Public Remarks: The Lou-Mar House | 505 E. Scott Avenue, Knoxville, TN This Isn't Just a House—It's The House in Happy Holler Built in 1889 and designed by celebrated French-born architect David Getaz—whose legacy includes the Knox County Courthouse and Eureka Hall in Asheville—The Lou-Mar House is a crown jewel of East Tennessee architecture. A commanding Queen Anne Victorian set on a double corner lot in the heart of Knoxville's thriving Happy Holler neighborhood, this home is equal parts historic treasure and cultural statement. Fully gated with an automated entry, the property includes a 6-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom main residence, a sleek 2-bedroom carriage house, and a separate workshop space—a turnkey compound made for living boldly. Where Architectural Craft Meets Artistic Soul Step onto the dramatic, wraparound front porch, and you immediately sense the presence of something rare. Inside, etched-glass double doors open into a grand foyer crafted from six varieties of wood, setting the tone for the artistry and craftsmanship that define the home. The parlor features a bespoke mural created in collaboration with fine artist Mara Wilson, honoring the home's rich history and architect David Getaz's legacy. Double pocket doors connect the parlor to the former gentleman's parlor—now a custom maple library—creating a fluid, flexible space that balances formality with warmth. The dining room, anchored by a boxed-beam ceiling, adds even more character and depth. With nine stained-glass windows, seven ornamental fireplaces, detailed trimwork, and original lighting throughout, the home honors its 19th-century roots while offering 21st-century livability. A seamless family room addition above a three-car-garage expands the layout without compromising the home's historic soul. And in a city neighborhood where parking is a premium, the estate offers two more private spaces—one under the porte cochere, and another two beneath the workshop—for a total of six off-street spots, an amenity nearly unheard of in urban Knoxville. Refined Updates That Elevate the Everyday 5-ton multizone HVAC (2022)—climate control with precision Marble-updated bathrooms (2020 and 2024), including a standout primary suite with Artistic Tile, Rohl fixtures, and custom cabinetry Outdoor kitchen and lounge (2021)—featuring Blaze appliances, gas fireplace, and Sonance sound system Renovated carriage house (2021)—2BR/1.5BA, stylishly appointed for guests or flexible use Carriage House with Income Potential The fully renovated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom carriage house is more than charming—it's smart. With finishes that mirror the main home and a separate entrance, it's perfect as a high-end rental, stylish guest quarters, or an in-law suite. Whether you're looking to host, earn passive income, or expand your creative space, the possibilities are turnkey. Location, Lifestyle & Community: Happy Holler is more than a neighborhood—it's a vibe. Friendly, inclusive, and full of personality, this pocket of Knoxville blends front-porch culture with forward-thinking style. The Lou-Mar House sits at the heart of it all, surrounded by everything you need within a mile or less—organic groceries at Three Rivers Market, artisan pastries from Wild Love Bakehouse, your morning pour at KBrew, and an ever-growing list of local favorites like The Marlowe, Zero/Zero Natural Wine Bar, Central Bottle, and Yee-Haw Brewing. And while Happy Holler feels like its own vibrant world, you're just five minutes from Downtown Knoxville, Neyland Stadium, and the University of Tennessee, with quick access to I-40, I-275, and I-75 to take you anywhere you need to go.
