Property Description
Discover this rare income-generating property for sale in South Knoxville, located in the highly desirable South Haven neighborhood. Featuring two fully separate homes on one lot, this unique setup is perfect for house hacking, multigenerational living, or maximizing rental income through mid-term or long-term leasing. Zoned residential with one utility meter and one address, one unit must be owner-occupied, making this an ideal Knoxville house hack opportunity for homeowners looking to offset mortgage costs.
The front residence is a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offering 1,541 square feet of living space. The open-concept kitchen features stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, a deep black modern sink, oversized range hood, eat-in bar, and designated dining space—ideal for entertaining or everyday living. Durable LVP flooring spans the kitchen and primary suite, while the original portion of the home retains its character with refinished hardwood floors. Enjoy two spacious living rooms—one of which can be easily converted into a 4th bedroom to boost rental value. The primary suite includes a private bathroom with a tile-surround shower and double vanity. A brick fireplace, large windows, and natural light make the space feel bright and welcoming. Covered parking is available with an attached carport that could also function as an outdoor living area. Proven rental income history at $2,200/month over the past two years.
A private, fenced walkway leads to the detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)—a stylish and functional 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house offering approximately 700 square feet. The ADU features Scandinavian-inspired interior design with minimalist décor, cozy textures, and ample natural light. Fully furnished and currently leased to traveling professionals at $1,895/month, this unit is optimized for mid-term rentals and includes all furnishings, kitchenware, patio furniture, and décor—offering a fully turnkey investment property in Knoxville.
Each home enjoys private yard space and designated parking, with privacy fencing enhancing the separation and usability of both units. Both units share one utility meter and mailing address. Live in one and rent the other, or explore the flexibility of living in the back unit and leasing out the larger front home for higher returns.
Located just minutes from Baker Creek Preserve, Ijams Nature Center, Downtown Knoxville, SoKno Taco, and the Urban Wilderness trail system, this prime South Knoxville location attracts consistent rental demand. The property also offers quick access to the University of Tennessee, making it appealing for both students and professionals.
