About This Home
Tucked away in one of Knoxville's most sought-after neighborhoods, this 1947 South Knoxville cottage tells a story of timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful care. With three bedrooms plus a flexible office that could serve as a fourth, this home blends vintage character with everyday functionality.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the glow of refinished original hardwood floors, lovingly restored with a natural wax finish that preserves their warmth and authenticity. The original brass hardware adds a subtle gleam, a nod to the home's rich heritage.
Both bathrooms proudly retain their original Tennessee marble finishes — one with marble walls, the other with marble flooring — offering a rare touch of local history.
The super cool, tucked-away music room with sleek epoxy floors brings creative potential to life.
Step outside and you'll find nearly an acre of professionally landscaped grounds, framed by an original stone wall and outdoor fireplace — perfect for quiet evenings under the stars or lively weekend gatherings.
Repainted inside and out in 2020, this home is move-in ready while preserving all the charm that makes it unforgettable. Located just minutes from UT, downtown, and Bearden, you're close to everything yet tucked into a peaceful slice of the city.
This isn't just a home — it's a piece of Knoxville's soul, waiting for its next chapter.
