2501 Martin Luther King Jr Ave Knoxville, TN 37914

Romantic AF! Dripping with artistry and drama, this dreamy historic residence offers more charm than you could ever have hoped for - and it's in your price range! Impossibly high ceilings with Old World beams, and a real, functional wood-burning fireplace are yours for getting cozy in winter. In summer, open out to the covered lemonade veranda on the side! Truly beautiful alto-relief sculpture in plaster adorns your master bath, while your woolens snuggle in your walk-through cedar-lined master closet. 3 amply-sized bedrooms sport the same real oak hardwood floors as the rest of your home. Another full bath is demurely tucked away in the hall. The rich dining room and sun-filled kitchen with breakfast bar and a stunning built-in beg for long, leisurely meals. Gorgeous one-of-a-kind colorful brickwork adorns both the home and the 2-car detached garage with brand-new door. Retreat to the private, fully-fenced outdoor oasis in the back or enjoy the quaint and sunny brick patio in front, with its graceful arches mimicking the arch-topped entry doors! The ample, full sun study on the front of the home has its own door, so it can become your business office, or provide that highly-valuable natural lighting for recording your influencer videos. With its incredibly flexible zoning designation of C-G-2, this can be your home AND a multitude of businesses. There's MORE! A HUGE full-sun attic (begging for rainy Saturday plays to be acted there!) and a vast unfinished basement with its own exterior entrance are not counted in the home's finished square footage (and the SF listed for these areas is an estimate only, buyer to verify); also in the basement is another full bath (currently non-functional, also not counted in the listing.) Located on a major intersection within distance of the new Baseball Stadium development - a new greenway is planned to connect you there! Lovingly restored, with a few things still needing done, but with most of the heavy lifting out of the way, you could be the lucky owner to shepherd this gem into its finest era. Estate Sale (contents only) 2/28 and 3/1. New Roof 2024, see TN Property Condition Disclosure for more new and recent improvements!
