My company is restoring this great 1949 cottage to sell in Knoxville, Tennessee. It has 3 bedrooms, hardwood floors, arched doorways, original trim and fixtures, a classic mid-century kitchen, and a huge double lot with fenced backyard. The neighborhood is wonderfully leave-it-to-Beaver. My wife and I live just a few blocks away.
A New Old House!
Finally, after months of not posting here, I have a new old house. It’s at great 3-bedroom cottage at 5317 Jacksboro Pike here in Knoxville, Tennessee. It’s on a flat double lot on a corner next to Central High School. It has a great Fountain City neighborhood — I listened to the marching band practicing at 2:00 today while I was making a very long to-do list.
The list includes complete repainting, repairs, plumbing and electrical upgrades, sanding and refinishing the hardwood floors, new flooring and carpet in the study, landscaping, as well as new lighting and plumbing fixtures.
The coolest things about this 1940s home are the original touches that will be retained in the remodel. Custom 1940s cabinets with a real pie safe and lots of pantry cabinets tucked into the corners. There are arched doorways, a fireplace, a fenced backyard, and original bath fixtures with classic black and white wall and floor tile. There’s even a working vintage wall phone in the kitchen!
Tomorrow we start the work. I’ll take pictures!
