Public Remarks: Intriguing like SoHo, this historic bohemian home in North Knox is a true gem and has SO MUCH ROOM! Given its antiquity, it is only fitting that it be outfitted with bits & pieces of Knoxville history - such as a ceiling crafted from carved wooden templates of the famed Yee Haw Industries in its heyday. This home is not only comfortable, but offers many opportunities. The recently built back house, currently used as a studio, is rife with possibilities given that it is heated and cooled. The main house offers three sizeable bedrooms and a smaller fourth with walk-in closet, which could also be used as add'l office space. Perfect for the work-at-home couple! Two updated full baths (one with heated tile); a sunroom or two; large updated kitchen; the possibility of having a separate living quarter with separate entrance; a garage - perfect for auto or storage; large flagstone patio and fire pit; close to hiking trails; and a fine view of the city and mountains from the front porch. Interesting and unique at every turn!
