Property Description

Oakwood--one of Knoxville's original streetcar suburbs, once nicknamed the ''Magic Suburb'' offers a rare opportunity to own one of the first homes built here by C.B. Atkins. The original streetcar rails still rest beneath the pavement out front, a quiet reminder of the neighborhood's rich history. Thoughtfully updated where it matters most, the kitchen, baths, and plumbing have been modernized while the home's historic integrity has been beautifully preserved. Many original features remain untouched--solid hardwood trim, interior doors, bi-fold doors, and built-ins that have never been painted. The front entry still showcases the signature C.B. Atkins wrought-iron security door and the home's original twist doorbell that still works...details rarely found and even more rarely preserved. Out back, the property transforms into a private garden retreat. River rock flower beds overflow with Pampas Grass, Dwarf Blue Junipers, vibrant Knockout Roses, and more than 50 Peonies that create a breathtaking display each spring. The privacy fenced backyard also includes a 19x14 garage, a generous flat greenspace ideal for a fire pit or cornhole, and a secluded patio just steps from the kitchen--perfect for evenings outdoors. There is even a small doggy door in the back storm door for your pets to come and go. Curb appeal is equally striking, with a charming Versalock retaining wall along the sidewalk, lined with a bed of English Ivy that flanks the stairs, and Limelight Hydrangeas framing the front porch. There is also a Blue/Purple Hydrangea on the side of the house and a new White Oak tree recently planted in the front yard. All of this just minutes from Downtown Knoxville, Gay Street and Market Square dining and shopping, and Smokies Ballpark--offering the perfect balance of historic neighborhood charm, walkable convenience, and a true gardener's sanctuary. Some major updates include new water and sewer lines to the street, new pex piping, and a new water heater all completed between 2019 and 2021. The new Versalock retaining wall was installed in 2021 as well. HVAC unit is December 2024 and roof is 2011. Range and dishwasher are new March 2026. The 4 fireplaces are for aesthetics and do not operate. Drapes do not convey.
