Description

Built in 1950, this remarkable residence, at 519 Noelton Drive, sits in one of Knoxville's most prestigious historic neighborhoods—Sequoyah Hills. Blending timeless character with striking contemporary design, this home offers a rare opportunity to own something truly unique. Nestled on a quiet wooded lot, it provides a serene retreat while remaining close to the heart of the city. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by an abundance of natural light streaming through the home's many windows. Classic wood floors and cathedral ceilings create a sense of warmth and openness. The stylish open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living area, dining room, kitchen, and sunroom. Anchoring the main level, a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace serves as both a focal point and a natural divider between the living and dining spaces. Just beyond, a tiled sunroom offers sweeping views of the wooded backyard, effortlessly bringing the outdoors in. Adjacent to the sunroom, the kitchen combines modern design with functionality, featuring plentiful natural light, a cozy breakfast nook, and a tucked-away dry bar—perfect for morning coffee or entertaining. A convenient laundry closet adds even more practicality. The spacious primary suite is also located on the main level. With room for sitting areas, dual vanities, or even a private retreat, the primary bedroom is designed for versatility. Its private balcony is an inviting spot for quiet mornings, while the en suite bathroom features classic tile, a double vanity, abundant natural light, and a high ceiling. A jacuzzi tub and shower combo provide the perfect place to unwind. Another full bath with a walk-in rain shower completes this level. Upstairs, a lofted space with a bedroom and flexible office or reading nook offers privacy and charm. Step outside the upstairs glass door, and you'll discover one of the home's most distinctive features—a rooftop garden with endless potential, creating a peaceful oasis above the treetops. The lower level is just as impressive, with a second living area and fireplace, two additional bedrooms, and another full bathroom. Large windows and glass doors open onto a covered porch, making this level ideal for entertaining or hosting guests. One bedroom even features a custom pull-down kitchenette, and both downstairs bedrooms have their own private entrance. The lower level can serve as a fully independent living space. As a bonus, the property has held a short-term rental permit for the downstairs living space, providing incredible flexibility, versatility, and value. If interested, one would need to reapply for the permit, because these do not transfer directly to the new owner in Knoxville. This home is rich with character, style, and thoughtful design—inside and out. A true standout in Sequoyah Hills. It's ready for its next chapter and certain to be a source of pride for its new owners.
