205 Adair Drive – Knoxville, TN 37918 ONLINE ONLY REAL ESTATE AUCTION A First Offering in Generations Located in Historic Adair Gardens in the Fountain City Community BIDDING BEGINS TO CLOSE:Wednesday, June 3rdat 12:00PM – Noon (ET) OPEN HOUSE:Monday, June 1stfrom 2:00PM – 4:00PM (ET) Welcome to 205 Adair Drive, a truly extraordinary property built in 1928 being offered for sale for the very first time in its history. With five generations having called this gorgeous home their own, this is a rare and deeply significant opportunity to become the next steward of one of Fountain City’s most cherished properties. Affectionately known as the “Carriage House” — a nod to a previous resident who operated a carriage business and repaired carriages in the side lots — this home carries with it a richness of history and character that simply cannot be replicated. Architecturally described as a minimal Traditional with Tudor Revival influence, the home features a one-and-one-half story frame with stucco wall covering, a side gable roof with projecting center gable over the entry, six-over-six double hung windows, an arched front entry door with quoins, an exterior offset front chimney, a one-story arcaded porch on the east elevation, and a stuccoed foundation — all of which contribute to its timeless and distinctive curb appeal. A Note on the Property: Currently comprised of three lots totaling 0.55+/- acres, the home is encroaching on the extra corner lot at Adair Drive and Coile Road. Per conversations with the Knoxville-Knox County Planning office, there is a possibility to resubdivide the property and offer the corner lot as an independent buildable lot. Interested parties are encouraged to consult directly with the Knoxville-Knox County Planning office regarding this potential opportunity.

Originally platted in 1920, Adair Gardens is noted as one of the earliest platted and planned subdivisions in Knoxville and contains one of the city’s finest examples of middle-class suburban development. The district is comprised of 65 contributing and 6 noncontributing houses and outbuildings built in the 1920s and 1930s, with a preponderance of Tudor Revival and Minimal Traditional styling lending a uniformed appearance and distinctive design character to the neighborhood. Roughly bound by Adair Drive, Rose Drive, and Coile Road, Adair Gardens was developed during a fascinating period of transition between the use of street cars and personal automobiles — a legacy that adds even greater depth to this already storied property. The Opportunity: Homes of this historical significance, architectural integrity, and generational rarity simply do not come to market often — if ever. Whether you are a preservation enthusiast, a lover of fine architectural detail, or simply someone seeking a home with genuine soul and an irreplaceable sense of place, 205 Adair Drive offers something that no new construction can ever provide: a living, breathing piece of Knoxville’s history, offered to the public for the very first time.
