Classic charm meets thoughtful restoration in this Rocky Hill cottage, where character, light, and functionality come together in one of Knoxville's most sought-after locations. From the welcoming covered front porch with swing to the wooded backyard views, this home delivers the warmth buyers expect with the updates they want. Hardwood floors span the main level beneath 9-foot ceilings, while arched doorways, exposed brick, and wood beams preserve the home's original appeal. The family room centers around a gas fireplace and flows into a formal dining area and an open, updated kitchen with gas range, coffee station, pantry, and abundant cabinetry. A raised beamed ceiling and breakfast room create an inviting everyday gathering space, with natural light pouring in throughout the home. The main-level primary bedroom includes barn doors leading to a walk-in closet, and an additional bedroom provides flexibility for guests, nursery, or office use. The updated main bath features a glass walk-in shower and marble tile. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility with a large bonus room, full bath, bedroom, laundry area, and an additional flex space ideal for a private office or teen retreat. With its own exterior entrance, this level works beautifully for guests or multigenerational living. Storage is abundant, including a very large walk-in storage room. Outdoor living is just as compelling, with a back deck, stone firepit area, and a private half-acre yard framed by mature trees and flower gardens. Many of the amenities were renovated and upgraded in 2018 while maintaining the home's historic charm. A brand-new HVAC system installed in summer 2025 adds peace of mind.
