Property Description

A Rare Opportunity in Historic Lake Forest Nestled in the charming Historic Lake Forest neighborhood, just two doors from the beautiful Lake Forest Presbyterian Church, this property offers the character and setting that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Stately mature trees, picturesque restored homes, and quiet streets create a timeless neighborhood atmosphere--all just minutes from downtown Knoxville. Built in the 1950s and cherished for generations, this home is ready for its next chapter. When I first walked the property, a doe and her two spotted fawns quietly crossed the front yard--a reminder of the peaceful beauty this special setting provides. This is not a move-in-ready home. It is a true restoration project waiting for someone with vision and creativity. The home has not been updated, the floors have settled over the years, there is no functional central heating and air system, and the interior will require a complete renovation. The exterior has been well maintained, and the roof is newer, providing an excellent starting point for your transformation. Because of its condition, the property will likely require a cash purchase or renovation financing. The win- An exceptional location where the possibilities are tremendous. Situated on approximately 0.73 acres, the property offers a large, private lot with mature landscaping and beautiful established perennials that provide a wonderful foundation for creating something truly special. As an added bonus, the adjoining lot is also available for purchase, offering a rare opportunity to expand your homesite, create additional privacy, or explore future possibilities. If you've been searching for a property where vision and craftsmanship can create lasting value, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
