Historic Fountain City Charm with Character, Versatility & a Detached Living Space!
Welcome to 2402 Highland Drive, a truly special 1920-built home in the heart of Fountain City where timeless character, thoughtful updates, and unique living spaces come together. Immaculately maintained and filled with personality, this distinctive 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers approximately 2,287 square feet of living space and the kind of craftsmanship and charm that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction.
From the moment you step inside, you'll be welcomed by abundant natural light, original windows, beautiful original hardwood floors, and historic details that tell the story of this remarkable home. The inviting main level features a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and walk-in shower, while the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas create an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. Cozy up around the gas fireplace in the living room or utilize your gas stove to feed all your extra guests!
Upstairs, an open area that provides additional flexibility for a home office, reading area, hobby space, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. An unfinished basement provides valuable storage and additional possibilities.
Perhaps one of the home's most exceptional features is the detached 2-car garage with finished living space above. This versatile space offers endless possibilities as a guest suite, private office, studio, hobby area, or accommodations for extended family. The property also includes a carport, providing additional covered parking.
Outdoor living is just as inviting. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening gatherings from the covered deck, relax on the patio that extends the length of the home, or take advantage of the shaded backyard. Beneath the home, the crawlspace offers additional functionality and can be used as a workshop or hobby area, adding valuable usable space beyond the home's finished square footage.
Situated in Fountain City, one of Knoxville's established and beloved communities, you'll enjoy a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere with convenient access to local restaurants, shops, parks, and everyday amenities, while remaining just a short drive from Downtown Knoxville, Market Square, the Tennessee River, entertainment, dining, and events.
With its 1920s character, original architectural details, spacious living areas, detached garage with additional living space, covered outdoor areas, carport, and workshop potential, 2402 Highland Drive is truly one-of-a-kind.
