Pat Summitt's House (former)
Knoxville, TN
The Story
A lakefront house on a private cul-de-sac off Alcoa Highway in Blount County, at the Little River mouth on Fort Loudoun Lake. Pat Summitt, the Lady Vols coach, moved here in 1990.
Summitt coached Tennessee from 1974 to 2012 and won 8 NCAA titles and 1,098 games, then the most in NCAA basketball history. Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's in 2011, she died June 28, 2016.
The house began as a 1985 basement rancher; Summitt added on and remodeled it repeatedly after moving in. A pool house near the water doubled as a bunkhouse where visiting players slept.
The house hit the market July 26, 2016, at $1.225M, 4 weeks after her death. A local family bought it that fall, and Blount County recorded the sale on October 13, 2016, at $1,212,500.
The Daily Times of Maryville reported on August 23, 2016, that Alcoa's planners had approved her son Tyler Summitt's plat carving 2 lots, 1 of them with his basketball court, off the 3.5-acre tract.
A privately owned house at the end of a cul-de-sac, with no marker and no public access. The lake side is visible from the Little River embayment; by road, keep it to a drive-by.
