Charming South Knoxville 3-Bedroom Home | Private Landlord | Large Yard | Gardening | Covered Porches
Looking for a home with character, privacy, and a little more outdoor space than the typical rental? This unique South Knoxville home is located on a quiet residential street and is directly managed by a local private landlord.
Perched at the top of a hill among mature trees, this older log-cabin-style home has a peaceful, treehouse-like feel while still being conveniently located just 10 minutes from the University of Tennessee, approximately 15 minutes from McGhee Tyson Airport, and about 10 minutes from Food City, Walmart, and Kroger.
The home offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, including a convenient half bath inside the primary bedroom. The single-level floor plan includes a comfortable living room plus a separate den with a sliding barn door, giving you flexibility to use the space however it works best for you. The den could serve as a second living room, home office, guest space, hobby room, or even a primary bedroom, with the existing third bedroom offering the possibility of a large walk-in closet/dressing room.
The kitchen includes a dishwasher, and the home has a dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer included. Central electric HVAC provides heating and cooling, and there is a fireplace with a propane heater for added cozy character.
Outside is where this home really shines. Enjoy a large, private-feeling backyard surrounded by mature trees, including beautiful dogwoods, plus a spacious front porch with white rocking chairs that stay with the home and an extra-large covered back porch. Established garden beds feature mature lilies and other flowers, and gardening enthusiasts are welcome to help bring the gardens back to their former glory. Separate well water is available for outdoor gardening use, while the home itself is connected to Knox Chapman water.
Parking features a 2-car carport plus an additional parking space and turnaround area. The driveway is shared with the rental home below, which is also owned by the landlord and has its own separate parking. The driveway is steep, but it is paved and designed with gradual turns rather than going straight up the hill.
A large storage shed is available for tenant use.
