2 bedroom house for sale

Tucked within fabulous Historic Fourth and Gill, one of Knoxville's most desired neighborhoods, awaits this lovely, distinctive and unparalleled Craftsman Bungalow. Playfully named ''The Art House'' because of the owner's creative taste and colorful art displays, this home was born a bit before 1920, but grew when the basement was finished and an additional 600 sf was added to the master suite in 2016. With expansive 10' ceilings and original hardwood throughout, this home is a dream come true! Newly painted, the home screams ''curb appeal'' at the start, and as your guests cross the spacious front porch replete with porch swing and enter through the original front door (with it's own mail slot!) they will arrive into the living room with the original working wood-burning fireplace, original wood trim and large windows. Beyond the living room is a seven-foot wide ''flat arch'' entering the dining room, also with large windows offering plenty of natural light. Through the dining room one enters the kitchen which has been completely redone and features floor-to-ceiling Mauser Cabinetry with pull-out cabinet drawers, Carrera marble countertops and backsplash, a huge Kohler farm sink and a magnificent 6.5 x 3.5-foot soapstone island. The island has been doubled in thickness to stand out against the period countertops and with a large vein of rose quartz running through on the diagonal, it is truly sensational. Appliances include a Wolf six-burner gas range with blue porcelain oven, 7' Thermador refrigerator/freezer and Asko dishwasher, all of which are surrounded by LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT! Three large windows overlook the oversized multi-dimensional deck with plenty of room to dine, grill, sunbathe, garden or simply relax at the end of the day while listening to the birds chirp as they settle in for the evening. The front bath boasts creative floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with tons of storage, a traditional clawfoot tub and old-school black and white hexagonal tile with the word ''CLEAN'' spelled out in front of the tub. Passing an old iron railing which looks onto the basement staircase made of hand-hewn walnut, one enters the UNBELIEVABLE master suite with patio doors leading onto the deck, 2'' plantation shutters throughout and the same seven-foot flat arch leading into an expansive master bath with free-standing tub, double vanity, sumptuous walk-in glass shower with three separate shower heads and walls covered in colorful floor tiles imported from Cuba. There is also a separate water closet with a pocket door. Piece de la resistance? Adjoining the bath is another pocket door opening into an absolute Dream Closet! Modeled after a picture of Mariah Carey's closet, this baby boasts over 200 sf of custom built-ins, including a 16-drawer double-sided dresser, too much hanging space to mention, a huge back-lit mirrored shoe shelf, tons of sweater shelves and even separate 'boxes'' for purses, hats or overnight bag storage. There is a separate belt/tie or belt/necklace closet, washer-dryer hook-ups, and even a window seat! This closet is truly one-of-a-kind. Downstairs features a finished basement with secret storage and laundry closet. The floor is finished concrete and the windows were made for their space! The second bedroom is accessed from off the hallway and off the living area through the original set of 15-pane glass parlor doors. With windows on both the front and side of the house, this room is also comfortably suited and currently used as an office. Into the closet and up the stairs of the front bedroom is a small ''office'' or yoga room. And, of course, a spacious attic covering the ''original'' footprint of the home. This Fourth and Gill stunner is a precious and lovely cottage from yesteryear with dynamic curb appeal. The surprise addition, while hard to see from the street, is the showstopper that will make even the most discriminating home buyer with the sharpest eye take a second look!
