Original hardwood floors and a fireplace set the tone at 1044 W Parkway Avenue in the Fountain City area of Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee, a 1950 brick-and-vinyl home with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and approximately 955 square feet on approximately 0.31 acre. The living space has a settled, lived-in feel from the hardwoods and fireplace, and the updated kitchen and bath bring the home current where it counts. The layout is simple and easy to live in, with two bedrooms that suit a first home or a downsizing move. Outside, a covered front porch and a rear deck give you two places to sit. The lot is level, irregular in shape but usable. The crawl space has been encapsulated, a practical upgrade for an older home, and the brick and vinyl exterior keeps maintenance reasonable. Fountain City puts everyday errands close, and the University of Tennessee and downtown Knoxville are within a reasonable drive. For a buyer who wants a smaller 1950 brick home with classic character, a fireplace, kitchen and bath updates and a yard to enjoy, this one is worth a look. It is an easy-to-care-for property that gives a first-time buyer or downsizer real character without a large footprint to maintain.
