Recent improvements include a brand-new water heater, an upgraded electric panel, and updated finishes that make the home move-in ready.

Additionally, 58 Foundations is encapsulating the crawlspace, adding a dehumidifier, and completing any other recommended repairs—providing added peace of mind for long-term comfort and efficiency. Outside, the spacious side yard offers endless opportunities for gardening, play, or summer barbecues. The 1-car garage has been enhanced with new sheetrock and insulation in the walls (with ceiling repairs and repainting underway), and the long driveway provides plenty of extra parking for family and guests. Nestled in a highly sought-after Fountain City location, you'll enjoy being just 5 minutes from Fountain City Park and less than 20 minutes to downtown Knoxville, where shopping, dining, and entertainment await. Don't miss your chance to call this stylishly updated home yours—a perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and everyday livability.
