Fabulous Fountain City

04/14/2026

Fountain City neighbors 🤍

I’ve been having more and more conversations lately about things we’re all noticing—traffic concerns around Briercliff, Beverly, Old Broadway, and Shannondale… the lack of infrastructure updates compared to other parts of Knoxville… and questions about how we’re caring for our parks and shared spaces.

Fountain City is such a special part of Knoxville—with historic homes, beautiful ridges, and a strong sense of community—and it feels like we all want to see it cared for and thoughtfully supported as it continues to grow.

Instead of just talking about it online, I’d love to see if there’s interest in getting a small community meeting together—just neighbors, sharing perspectives, identifying concerns, and talking through what next steps could look like.

No agenda yet—just a starting point to listen and collaborate.

Would you be interested in attending something like this?
If so, drop a comment or message me, and I’ll start putting something together.

Let’s take care of our little corner of Knoxville, together.

Storybook Charm in Fountain City ✨

Welcome to 5509 Dogwood Road, a timeless 1940s charmer nestled along the historic Dogwood Trail in Harrill Hills—one of Fountain City’s most beloved and character-filled neighborhoods. Homes in this area rarely come available, and this one beautifully blends vintage charm with thoughtful modern updates.

Inside, you’ll find the details that make homes of this era so special—arched doorways, glass door k***s, built-in bookcases, a cozy fireplace, and warm hardwood floors throughout. The updated kitchen pairs classic character with modern functionality, featuring granite countertops, an apron-front sink, and cabinetry that extends to the ceiling for maximum storage.

The formal dining room, framed by elegant French doors, opens to a covered and screened patio—perfect for relaxing evenings or hosting friends. Just beyond, an additional porch overlooks the professionally landscaped backyard, where stone steps, flagstone details, and mature landscaping create a truly storybook setting. Hydrangeas, crepe myrtles, and blooming seasonal favorites surround the charming wood picket fence.

💰 Seller is offering a $10,000 credit toward closing costs, rate buy-down, or price reduction with an acceptable offer (must be written into the purchase and sale agreement).

If you’ve been dreaming of a home with character, history, and a garden that feels straight out of a fairytale—this is one you don’t want to miss.
