Step into a rare opportunity to own a piece of Knoxville history in the heart of the highly sought-after Historic Fourth & Gill neighborhood. Built in 1899 and believed to have been designed by renowned architect George Barber, this historic duplex beautifully blends timeless character with modern updates.

Extensively remodeled in 2019 while preserving its historic charm, the home showcases original hardwood floors, stunning stained-glass windows, soaring ceilings, and classic wood siding. Updated interiors feature tiled bathrooms, white shaker cabinetry, and modern conveniences that complement the home's historic character.
Located just minutes from downtown Knoxville and within walking distance of the new baseball stadium, restaurants, breweries, shopping, and entertainment, this property offers an unbeatable combination of location, history, and income potential.
