119 S Central St FRONT 2, Knoxville, TN 37902

This PET-FRIENDLY 1500 sq. ft space with unique PRIVATE PATIO DECK, just updated in 2014, has three large front rooms that make excellent bedrooms/den/office -- each with closet spaces -- that also have abundant natural light from the nine massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking S. Central and the French doors leading to the back outdoor patio. Each room has storage easily available above the closet areas, and hardwood floors are throughout the loft. The loft sports THREE fireplaces (non-working), high ceilings, ceiling fans, a full size washer/dryer, and exposed brick throughout that immediately contributes to a sense of its 1900 roots, yet with an updated and highly livable feel. The custom-built, European-style mahogany entry door with security codes and hand-crafted copper mailbox speak quality in volumes, as does the pristine oak staircase that leads up to an over-sized landing/reception area of this second floor unit. Beyond that space is an even-larger area that creates an ideal gathering/living space, with exposed brick and a 1900 fireplace on one wall and an original Hali Maltzberger wall mural of The Old City on the opposite wall leading into the kitchen. On the far end of this large gathering space are French doors and even MORE floor-to-ceiling windows that lead to a private and highly rare outside deck already bedecked with plants and outdoor furniture, ready to use. To top off this one-of-a-kind living experience, it's always fun to share that the loft used to be the long-time home of one of Knoxville's most notorious madams, who sported a gun at all times and ran a bordello with 14 "working women," according to Jack Neely's highly anticipated book about Knoxville's Old City. Tenant to qualify and pay for Background and Credit check requirements. Landlord to manage AC filter maintenance at a nominal cost for tenants. Dedicated parking space available for $135/mo. at surface lot across the street OR parking is free along Willow and under freeway near loft.
