Charming South Knoxville Basement Rancher - Minutes to Downtown and the Smokies!
Welcome to this cozy 3-bedroom, 1-bath basement rancher, ideally located in South Knoxville! Built in 1949, this well-loved home beautifully balances original character with thoughtful modern updates. Step inside to discover gleaming refinished original oak hardwood floors, and a kitchen full of vintage white metal cabinets, a double drainboard porcelain sink, and original faucets.
Outside, mature landscaping showcases vibrant azaleas, peonies, daffodils, a black raspberry bush, and a variety of trees across the gently sloping backyard—perfect for gardeners, entertainers, or simply relaxing. You'll love the oversized 24' x 24' carport, complete with spacious locked storage (20' wide x 8' deep) that is wired with electricity and lighting—ideal for hobbies, tools, or extra belongings. Behind the locked storage, there's a deep and wide open-air shed area, currently used for firewood, but easily adaptable for storing a canoe, kayaks, a rowboat, utility trailer, or ATVs.
The basement is a true bonus space, featuring a cozy wood-burning stove, a utility sink, built-in shelving for extra storage, and plenty of room to create a workshop or craft space if desired. Tech-savvy buyers will appreciate Ethernet jacks installed in the living room, bedrooms, and basement, ensuring faster internet speeds and lower latency throughout the home. Available internet providers include AT&T, Comcast Xfinity, and KUB—with KUB fiber internet planned for this area during Phase 3 (2026-2028).
Major recent updates include a new HVAC system (2023) and a new sump pump (2024) (for the washing machine and downstairs sink), offering peace of mind for years to come.
All of this in an unbeatable location—only about an hour's drive to Great Smoky Mountains National Park for endless local parks and outdoor adventures, and minutes to downtown Knoxville's dining, entertainment, and the University of Tennessee!
