About this home
Classic South Knox character, thoughtful updates, and a backyard made for enjoying the outdoors come together at 3608 Decatur Drive! This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch offers 1,277 square feet of living space, with hardwood floors, granite kitchen countertops, a remodeled full bathroom, and updated lighting. The functional single-level layout, main-level laundry, and covered front porch add everyday convenience. The level, fully fenced backyard offers plenty of room to relax, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Thoughtful landscaping, raised garden boxes, and a firepit create a welcoming space for everything from quiet evenings at home to gatherings with friends and family. A shaded area provides a comfortable spot for pets, while the detached 10x12 storage shed offers additional space for tools, lawn equipment, and outdoor gear. The attached carport adds the convenience of covered parking. Enjoy an exceptional South Knoxville location with Baker Creek Preserve just a short walk away, offering popular mountain biking trails, hiking, pump tracks, and access to the Knoxville Urban Wilderness trail system. Ijams Nature Center provides even more opportunities to enjoy wooded trails and outdoor recreation. After a day on the trails, explore nearby neighborhood favorites or head to Sevier Avenue, approximately 2 miles away, for a variety of restaurants, breweries, and local businesses.
South Haven, located between Chapman Highway and the Tennessee River, is a residential and industrial Knoxville neighborhood with a working-riverfront edge and a patchwork of older streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Chapman Highway corridor, where auto shops, small storefronts, and river-view pull-offs set a practical, on-the-move tone. Housing trends toward modest mid-century ranches and older cottages, with pockets of light industry and warehouse buildings. The river and nearby greenways shape daily rhythms, with views and breezes cutting through the grid. Nearby cultural anchors such as Ijams Nature Center, the Tennessee Theatre, and the Bijou Theatre help define local outings beyond the immediate blocks.
Welcome to this charming home in a beautiful community. This home provides the peace and quiet of suburban living, yet only minutes to downtown Knoxville (7 minutes to UT campus), with access to everything it has to offer. This home provides 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms with spacious living area and completely updated kitchen. Step out into the back yard that has just been beautifully landscaped and perfect for hosting and entertaining. Don't miss your chance to make this home your relaxing permanent residence or a successful long or short term rental.
