About this home
Some homes have a way of making you fall in love before you even step inside, and this enchanting 1940 Cape Cod cottage in the heart of Fountain City is certainly one of them. Nestled on an estimated 0.7 acre double lot within the Tazewell Pike Neighborhood Conservation District, this home is surrounded by the architectural history, mature trees, and beautiful landscaping that make this part of Knoxville so special. The neighborhood is known for its collection of historic homes, spacious lawns, native dogwoods, and timeless character, and this charming cottage fits right in.
From the Tennessee Marble accents and welcoming covered front porch to the beautiful wood and glass entry door, every detail seems to have a story to tell. Step inside to discover an oversized living room anchored by a wood burning fireplace framed by handsome wooden built ins. Original hardwood floors, graceful arched doorways, and thoughtful architectural details create the warmth and character that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction.
The kitchen opens to the dining area, where charming tongue and groove wood ceilings add another layer of cottage character. Natural light pours through newer French doors that open onto a completely fenced brick paver patio, creating a lovely extension of the living space for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or an evening spent beneath the trees. All kitchen appliances convey with the home. A delightful window lined mudroom, complete with a convenient drop zone, connects the main house to the attached two car garage. The main level also features a primary suite with a private bathroom and walk in shower.
Upstairs, the charm continues with original hardwood flooring throughout all three bedrooms, the landing, and an additional open area tucked beyond another beautiful archway. This flexible space would make a wonderful home office, cozy sitting room, or the sort of reading nook that practically begs for a good book and a rainy afternoon. The spacious upstairs bedrooms are full of personality, with vintage glass doorknobs, built in bookcases, and darling dormer windows in the two front bedrooms. The recently renovated upstairs bathroom beautifully honors the home's vintage character with a classic clawfoot tub, updated flooring, and a stylish new vanity.
Outside, the property is every bit as special as the home itself. Mature landscaping, fresh pine straw, and established hydrangeas lining the rear driveway create a picturesque setting with curb appeal in every direction. The generous double lot offers room to enjoy the outdoors, while the fenced brick patio provides a private little retreat. With three total garage spaces, including an attached two car garage and a separate detached garage, there is plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, a workshop, or creative pursuits. An unfinished basement offers even more storage and workspace.
Beyond its undeniable charm, this cottage offers meaningful practical improvements, including a roof approximately two years old and updated vinyl windows throughout.
Located in one of Fountain City's most treasured historic areas, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy a neighborhood rich in architectural character while remaining close to the beloved local businesses and vibrant community of Smithwood Corner.
With its storybook curb appeal, original architectural details, beautiful grounds, and an abundance of personality, this is the kind of home that reminds you why vintage houses are so special. A little bit of history, a little bit of whimsy, and a whole lot of heart. Your very own fairytale Cape Cod cottage is waiting to be discovered....
