Single Family Detached Knoxville

This home is truly one-of-a-kind, offering a rare combination of character, flexibility, investment opportunity, and an exceptional Sequoyah Hills location. While buyers may notice the days on market, it’s important to note the home has never gone under contract or returned to market due to inspections or issues. Feedback has consistently been overwhelmingly positive, and the property has been exceptionally well maintained and thoughtfully cared for. Priced below recent appraised value, this is a unique opportunity to own one of Sequoyah Hills’ most distinctive and opportunity-filled homes.

Welcome to 519 Noelton Drive. This home is a rare lifestyle property tucked into the heart of Sequoyah Hills, one of Knoxville’s most prestigious and historic neighborhoods. Quietly nestled on a wooded lot with no HOA, this remarkable 1950 residence blends timeless character with striking contemporary design, all while being just minutes from UT campus, downtown Knoxville, Cherokee Boulevard walking trails, riverfront parks, top-rated schools, and everything that makes this area so desirable.

What truly sets this property apart is its incredible flexibility and investment potential. The lower level features its own private entrance, second living area with fireplace, two bedrooms, full bath, and custom pull-down kitchenette, allowing it to function as a completely separate living space. The property previously held a short-term rental permit for the downstairs area, offering exceptional potential for future owners to reapply. Whether used as an income-producing rental, luxury guest suite, multigenerational living space, or ideal setup for UT students, the opportunities here are endless in such a prime location.

Recently vacated by the sellers, the home has been freshly painted throughout and professionally cleaned, creating a crisp move-in-ready experience while still preserving the warmth and soul that make this home so special. Oversized windows flood the interior with natural light, while original hardwood floors and soaring cathedral ceilings create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and inviting.

The open-concept main level seamlessly connects the living room, dining space, kitchen, and sunroom. A stunning stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, while the tiled sunroom showcases peaceful wooded views that make the property feel like a private retreat hidden within the city.

The spacious main-level primary suite offers incredible flexibility with room for a sitting area, private balcony access, and an en suite bath featuring double vanities, classic tile work, abundant natural light, and a jacuzzi tub/shower combo. Upstairs, a charming lofted bedroom and office nook lead to one of the home’s most distinctive features, a rooftop garden oasis tucked among the trees.

This is more than just a home. It’s a property filled with character, flexibility, privacy, and possibility. The sellers deeply loved this home and likely would have never left had life not called them toward a completely different lifestyle path. Homes cared for this thoughtfully are always the ones buyers feel most connected to the moment they walk through the door.
