Investor & Visionary Alert — Unfinished Renovation in the Heart of Fair Garden! A short drive to the Knoxville Zoo and Knoxville Botanical Garden & Arboretum, this 1950-built cottage is ready for someone who sees potential where others see a project. Renovation is already underway — bring your vision (and your tools) to finish it out and create your own private oasis in one of Knoxville's most charming, established pocket neighborhoods. This can work as a 2BR/1.5BA up with a 1BR/1BA + flex space down, and there's real upside with the oversized garage (+400 sq ft potential) and a second story build-out above it (+200 sq ft). The home offers 840 sq ft of living space with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bath, and a basement offering excellent potential to expand square footage and add real value. Hardwood floors have been sanded, and waterproof laminate wood flooring has already been laid in the kitchen, with extra on hand for the master bath. Whether you're an investor looking for your next flip, or a hands-on buyer ready to make it your own, this is a rare chance to finish strong in a location that can't be replicated — close to the zoo, gardens, and everything the Fair Garden community has to offer. Sold As-Is. Bring your contractor, your creativity, or both.
