Charming 1930s Storybook Cottage on Nearly Half an Acre
Step into timeless character and modern comfort with this enchanting 3-bedroom, 3-bath home, tucked away in one of Knoxville's most desirable areas on the Riverbend Peninsula near Rocky Hill. Zoned for the sought-after Sequoyah Elementary and offering the perk of county-only taxes, this home is a rare find.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal captures your heart with lush gardens, mature trees, and the classic architecture of a true 1930s storybook cottage. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, thoughtful details, and a warm sense of history paired with stylish updates.
On the main level, the spacious primary suite features its own ensuite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms share a newly remodeled bath with a custom tile shower, updated flooring, vanity, and modern fixtures. You'll love the updated kitchen with white cabinets, stainless appliances and a farmhouse sink. The finished basement offers incredible flexibility with a large rec room and full bath—perfect for a guest suite or man cave.
Outdoors, the nearly half-acre lot provides privacy, gardens, and plenty of room to entertain, play, or relax in nature.
Conveniently located just minutes from Lakeshore Park, Duncan Boat Dock, the University of Tennessee, and Downtown Knoxville, this well-loved home is truly different and special—one you'll want to see in person. Plus, AirBNB is allowed in this area!
