About this home

Completely Reimagined South Knoxville Home on Nearly Half an Acre! Enjoy the rare combination of a peaceful country setting, extensive modern updates, and incredible convenience in this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home, located approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Knoxville and Market Square, and 10-12 minutes from Ijams Nature Center. Nearly every inch of this 1,457 sq. ft. home has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, creating the feel of a new home while preserving the privacy and character of its country setting. The bright, inviting open floor plan brings the living, dining, and kitchen spaces together, creating a comfortable and functional layout for everyday living and entertaining. Premium Andersen dual-pane windows fill the home with natural light, complemented by engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas, tiled bathrooms, recessed LED lighting, and a sleek electric fireplace. At the heart of the home is a spacious eat-in kitchen featuring quartz countertops, a large peninsula-style island, matching slate GE appliances, tiled backsplash, abundant cabinetry and storage, and a large pantry and coffee bar station combination that provides additional storage and a dedicated space for your morning routine. The open design allows the kitchen to flow seamlessly into the main living space, creating a welcoming centerpiece for the home. The private primary suite offers a true retreat with higher 9-foot ceilings, giving the room an added sense of openness and space. The suite also features a large walk-in closet, double vanity, and spacious walk-in tiled shower. The two additional bedrooms each offer generously sized closets, providing excellent storage throughout the home, while a second full bathroom completes the thoughtfully designed layout. This renovation goes far beyond cosmetic updates. Major improvements include a new roof, new electrical, new plumbing, new mechanical systems, closed-cell spray foam insulation in the attic, and a refreshed stucco-and-stone exterior. Outside, enjoy a contemporary Craftsman-inspired covered front porch, a new 10x12 rear deck, and a fenced backyard set on a level, nearly half-acre lot -- a hard-to-find feature in this area. The backyard has been cleared of previously overgrown trees and vegetation to create more usable outdoor space, while mature trees, shrubbery, and surrounding greenery help maintain a semi-private feel and peaceful country atmosphere. A new, spacious concrete driveway provides off-street parking for four or more vehicles. The property offers plenty of room to spread out while still providing convenient access to Downtown Knoxville, Chapman Highway shopping and dining, Ijams Nature Center, and Knoxville's Urban Wilderness. Another added benefit is county taxes only, with no city taxes, giving this property even more appeal. Move-in ready, thoughtfully redesigned, and packed with upgrades -- 605 Kimberlin Heights Rd offers a hard-to-find combination of privacy, modern finishes, generous storage, usable outdoor space, and South Knoxville convenience.
