That 952 sq ft doesn't include the upstairs bedroom. Add mini-splits for heat/air upstairs, and it qualifies as finished square footage — another 400-500 sq ft added, no layout changes required. That's roughly 1,350-1,450 sq ft with one simple improvement.
From there, bedroom count is your call: leave the main level as-is and the upstairs stays the 3rd bedroom, now finished — or convert the dining room into a bedroom on the main level and the upstairs becomes a 4th bedroom or bonus space. Buyer to verify exact measurements, finished-space qualification, and cost.
DETAILS:
This is a straightforward full-gut flip — or a long-term hold — with a feature you don't see twice in this pocket of Knoxville: a genuine Tennessee marble foundation and a full, finished marble-floor.
Per the longtime owner, the foundation & basement floor was built sourcing the marble from local quarries.
Basement would be perfect for storage, workshops, play areas, and more
Add in the original solid wood doors, trim, and hardwood floors throughout the main living spaces, plus a 1.5 acre lot in East Knox County and you've got real upside either way you play it.
Zoned Agricultural (A) — Knox County's Ag district carries a 1-acre-per-dwelling minimum, so a split likely requires rezoning, not a routine survey/plat. Buyer to verify timeline and feasibility with Knox County Planning. Not something we're pricing in — just worth knowing it's there.
If you'd rather hold than flip: comparable 3 bed / 1 bath rentals in this corridor run $1,500–$1,700/mo+.

ARV: $280,000 - $320,000
Estimated Rehab: $90k - $110k

COMPS:
• 8017 Thorn Grove Pike, 37914 — Sold $285,000 — 3 bed / 2 bath, 1,334 sq ft, on a busy road — we think this would've sold for more off that road
• 2517 Drinnen Rd, 37914 — Listed $335,000 (active) — smaller 2 bed / 2 bath, less land, updated — not a direct match
REPAIRS NEEDED:
Full-gut scope: roof, windows, kitchen, bathroom, electrical (panel already updated, but wiring is cloth and needs updating throughout), plumbing, wall updates, flooring, paint, light fixtures, siding cleaning, gutter repair, window/door frame repair in some areas. Current entry is through a driveway-side mudroom/screen room — no formal front porch, so a new porch/street-facing entry is part of scope.
What's working: the marble foundation/basement described above, original solid wood doors and trim, hardwood floors throughout, updated water heater, updated electrical panel, the foundation was reinforced with four support jacks roughly ~10 years ago.
FINANCING:
Cash, hard money, private money, or DSCR buyers only.
