Beautifully preserved Fourth and Gill Queen Anne Cottage! The Eugene H. and Bessie B. Kurtz House at 922 Gratz Street offers approximately 1,992 square feet. This charmer features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and timeless architectural character blended with thoughtful modern updates. This property truly is a special piece of North Knoxville history. The home was originally owned by Eugene H. and Bessie B. Kurtz. Bessie was the daughter of Louis A. Gratz, the only mayor of North Knoxville before its annexation into Knoxville. Bessie's mother's family were the Beardens -- family members included a mayor of Knoxville and the owner of the paper mill from which Papermill Road gets its name. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, four decorative fireplaces, several featuring original tile surrounds, and the craftsmanship and charm expected of a turn-of-the-century Queen Anne Cottage. The inviting wraparound front porch creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or entertaining guests. The house has been thoughtfully updated with a completely remodeled kitchen in 2021, as well as upgraded wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard is a true gardener's retreat, featuring native plants, peonies, hydrangeas, Ruby Falls redbud trees, rosemary, dahlias, and a variety of additional plantings that create color and interest throughout the year. This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive historic home in one of Knoxville's most beloved neighborhoods.
