Behind a classic white picket fence sits the kind of home that fairy tales quietly promise--an all-brick cottage in coveted Fountain City that manages to feel both timeless and thoroughly refreshed. Completely renovated from top to bottom, it lives by a simple motto: everything old is new again. The inviting front porch, crowned by a handsome tongue-and-groove ceiling, sets the tone before you even reach the door. Step inside to the large living room warmed by one of two wood-burning fireplaces, then wander into a large, sun-filled kitchen that practically begs for weekend baking marathons. The cozy family room located just off the kitchen is the perfect retreat. Craftsmanship shows in every corner, from thoughtful updates to the solid, built-to-last construction. With five oversized bedrooms--three on the main level and two tucked into the basement--there's room for growing families, visiting relatives, or that home office you keep meaning to set up. Speaking of the basement: a huge recreation room delivers space for movie nights, hobbies, or spirited game tournaments, plus storage galore and a generous garage for all your gear. Outdoors, the show continues. An oversized deck with new Trex decking overlooks a private backyard oasis, where natural stone steps lead down to a flagstone terrace made for slow evenings and good company. Need additional parking or storage? You'll appreciate the 2-car carport with attached workshop/storage building beckoning for weekends spent working in the wooded yard that is filled with constant blooming surprises. The location seals it. Fountain City Lake and Duck Pond sits just up the road, with Tommy Schumpert Park close behind--ideal for strolls, picnics, and fresh air. Convenient to shopping, dining, and the interstate system, you can be on the University of Tennessee campus or in West Knoxville in 15 minutes.
