Whether you continue its rental legacy or transform it into the perfect mother-in-law suite, this property offers versatility and timeless appeal. Originally built as a summer retreat for the Knox family of Cleveland, Tennessee, the main residence is a distinguished four-bedroom, three-bath home that blends historic character with thoughtful updates.

The kitchen's wood-burning fireplace invites cozy mornings, while a second fireplace in the study adds warmth and charm.
