About this home

Three Words: 8-CAR GARAGE!! Welcome to 5209 Montrose Road, a one-of-a-kind Fountain City property offering something nearly impossible to find this close to the heart of Knoxville: a charming home, nearly half an acre, and an absolutely massive detached garage and workshop setup with space for up to eight vehicles and a half bathroom in the garage (metered separately). Whether you're a car collector, mechanic, woodworker, contractor, hobbyist, or simply someone who needs serious space for boats, motorcycles, tools, equipment, or weekend projects, this property is a rare find. The expansive detached garage provides an incredible amount of flexibility and could easily become the ultimate workshop, automotive space, hobby headquarters, or storage solution you've been searching for. And there's plenty to love about the home itself. Built in 1993, this two-story home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and approximately 1,536 square feet of comfortable living space. Step inside to a functional, inviting floor plan designed for everyday living. The kitchen features a gas range and a full suite of appliances, while the primary bedroom offers a two walk-in closets. Step outside onto the back deck, fire up the grill, and enjoy the breathing room that comes with an approximately half acre lot. There's plenty of space to entertain, relax outdoors, garden, or let pets play--all while having an extraordinary amount of dedicated garage space just steps away. The Fountain City location makes this property even more appealing. Enjoy the character and convenience of North Knoxville with groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, schools, and everyday necessities close by. You're approximately a mile from several Fountain City conveniences while still enjoying a residential setting with room to spread out. And when you need to head across town, the location provides convenient access to Knoxville's major roadways, putting Downtown Knoxville, the University of Tennessee, and the rest of the city within easy reach. But make no mistake--the showstopper here is the garage. Eight-car garage capacity. Nearly half an acre. Three bedrooms. Two-and-a-half bathrooms. Fountain City. Properties with this kind of garage and workshop space simply don't come along every day. If you've been compromising because every house you've toured has a two-car garage--or worse, no room for the cars, tools, toys, and projects you love--5209 Montrose Road may finally be the property that checks the box. Bring the cars. Bring the motorcycles. Bring the tools, toys, and projects. There's finally room for all of it.
