About this home
Welcome to 115 Roane Street, a Victorian-era restored masterpiece originally built in 1893 and thoughtfully brought back to life with a seamless blend of historic character and modern upgrades. Known as the Sam Tunnell House, this iconic 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home is a rare example of East Tennessee historic architecture preserved with precision. Originally constructed using hand-poured concrete blocks made on-site in the late 1800s, the home now boasts a re-engineered foundation, new roof, upgraded electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and full insulation—ensuring structural integrity and comfort for modern living.

The adjacent butler's pantry and laundry room mirror the kitchen's quality with matching cabinetry, stone countertops, and a stainless steel utility sink for added function.
Additional updates include Andersen dual-pane Low-E windows throughout, refinished original hardwood floors, oversized doors, sliding barn doors, oversized baseboards, crystal light fixtures, and plush new carpet in select areas. The bathrooms are luxuriously designed with subway tile, penny tile, vertical tile installations, mosaic accents, Bluetooth speakers, and rainfall showerheads, giving each space a spa-like feel.
