This home has a comfortable, natural feel--thoughtfully improved over time while still holding onto its character. The main living area welcomes you in with original hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace framed by fabulous built-ins, giving the space both warmth and function. It flows naturally into the heart of the home, where everyday living just works--practical, inviting, and easy to settle into. Just off the carport, you'll find a mudroom/laundry space that makes coming and going feel organized and effortless. Downstairs opens up a whole different opportunity. With its own private entrance, the basement functions as a fully separate living space featuring a true bedroom, full bathroom, living area, and kitchenette. Whether you're thinking multi-generational living, guest space, or even short-term rental potential, it's a setup that gives you flexibility without compromise. With three full bathrooms total, there's room for everyone to spread out comfortably. This home has seen a long list of meaningful updates where it counts: A brand new front porch and deck create a welcoming first impression, complemented by a new front door, storm door, and bay window that bring in natural light. The exterior continues to shine with a new black fenced backyard, retaining wall, concrete slab, and a custom shed designed to match the home. Inside and below, improvements include updated plumbing in key areas (basement bathroom, kitchenette, kitchen, and laundry), a refreshed basement bathroom with new flooring, vanity, and fixtures, and new flooring in the basement bathroom and kitchenette. A new Trane AC handler and home control system adds efficiency and peace of mind, along with a new dryer vent system (cleaned March 2026). Even the details--like new exterior doors and included Maytag washer and dryer--have been thoughtfully handled. Sitting on a spacious, fenced corner lot, there's room to spread out, entertain, or just enjoy a little extra breathing room. And when you step outside the property, the location truly delivers. Just minutes from Adair Park with its open green spaces, walking trails, and pond, as well as Fountain City Park and Beverly Park, you're surrounded by some of North Knoxville's most loved outdoor spots. You're also close to local favorites like Wrenhouse Bakery, Pratt's Country Store, Litton's Restaurant & Market, and Sweet P's Uptown Corner, along with charming boutiques and antique shops that give Fountain City its character. Drive times are easy and convenient--approximately 15 minutes to downtown Knoxville and Market Square, 15-20 minutes to the University of Tennessee, 20 minutes to Bearden, and 25-30 minutes to Farragut and Turkey Creek.
