Charming and thoughtfully updated cottage in the heart of North Knoxville! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,520 square feet of living space and blends classic character with modern convenience. Originally built in 1940, the home features hardwood flooring and an inviting layout filled with natural light. Major systems have already been taken care of for the next owner. In 2021, the home received extensive updates including a new HVAC system, roof, gutters, windows, electrical, plumbing (all copper or PVC), deck, and garage door--providing peace of mind and modern efficiency. Additional improvements since 2023 further enhance the property. The backyard now features a new privacy fence, gate, and driveway. Custom closets have been added both upstairs and downstairs, along with built-in cabinetry and storage upstairs, including a convenient vanity area. The basement has also been improved with a French drain and sump pump system for enhanced water management. The oversized unfinished basement with garage access provides excellent space for storage, a workshop, or future expansion. Outside, the private backyard and deck offer a great spot to relax or entertain. The home also includes a Nest smart home system, and KUB fiber internet is available for fast and reliable connectivity. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Knoxville, local parks, restaurants, and shopping, this move-in-ready home offers the perfect blend of historic charm, thoughtful updates, and modern amenities.
