Welcome to the Butterfly Roof House a striking architectural gem making its rental debut in the heart of Knoxville's Old North Knoxville Historic District. Defined by its iconic V-shaped roofline, this thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home delivers modern luxury without sacrificing a single square foot of functional living space.
Both bedrooms are true master suites, each offering a private en-suite bath, soaring vaulted ceilings, a personal balcony, and generous closet space a rare offering at any price point. The layout flows naturally for everyday living while maintaining the elevated feel of a home that was designed with intention.
Step outside to a spacious stone patio and a large backyard, perfectly suited for relaxing or entertaining. Covered parking and a quiet dead-end street setting provide added convenience and privacy, all tucked among mature trees and directly adjacent to First Creek and the First Creek Greenway.
Location is unmatched. You're minutes from Downtown Knoxville, the University of Tennessee, The Old City, Central Ave, and Happy Holler's vibrant dining scene plus Covenant Health Park for professional baseball and soccer right around the corner.
This is a rare opportunity to lease a truly one-of-a-kind home in one of Knoxville's most sought-after and storied neighborhoods.
