This 1920s era gem is located on a half-acre corner lot in the desirable Fountain City with the most dreamy front porch you could imagine. The main level features an open concept that flows from spacious living and dining rooms into an eat-in kitchen where an incredible amount of natural light abounds. An added laundry room with plenty of storage and a spacious pantry are conveniently located right off of the kitchen. The primary suite is situated on the main floor and features an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in glass shower and the restored, early 1900s cast iron, clawfoot tub and a large walk-in closet. An additional bedroom or great room is located on the main floor along with another full bathroom. The second floor includes two spacious bedrooms with large closets and an additional full bathroom. Original hardwoods, including pine and oak, were restored throughout in 2018. This home was completely renovated in 2018 under a building permit obtained from the City of Knoxville. The massive renovation of the home in 2018 included: HVAC (including a split system in each upstairs bedroom), plumbing, electrical, windows, water heater, microwave, electric range, dishwasher, front porch ceiling, fixtures, back porch, mudroom with built-ins, shelving and cabinets throughout, and a flagger stone walkway. An additional driveway was added to allow extra parking in the front of the home. The 2 car garage is located in the basement which is accessed by the exterior only along with an additional driveway. Plenty of additional storage located in the unfinished basement area. The back deck looks over the sprawling beautiful fenced yard! Opportunities like this do not come around often - this is truly a must see property!
