Classic Cottage Character, Beautifully Updated in Rocky Hill

In the heart of Rocky Hill, this restored Knoxville cottage pairs the kind of architectural charm people fall in love with and the thoughtful upgrades that make day-to-day living feel effortless. From the covered front porch with its porch swing to the serene, tree-lined backdrop out back, the home offers a warm welcome and a setting that feels both private and connected.

Upon entering the main level, original details immediately set the tone. Hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, arched doorways, exposed brick, and wood beams create a layered, timeless look that has been carefully preserved. The family room centers around a gas fireplace and flows naturally into a formal dining area, making it easy to host a cozy dinner or a larger gathering. The updated kitchen is open and functional with a gas range, a dedicated coffee station, a pantry, and abundant cabinetry, while a raised beamed ceiling and bright breakfast room add a relaxed space for everyday routines.

The main-level layout includes a primary bedroom with barn doors that lead to a walk-in closet, plus an additional bedroom that can flex beautifully for guests or a home office. The main bath has been updated with a glass walk-in shower and marble tile, keeping the style crisp while honoring the home’s original feel.

Downstairs, the finished lower level expands the possibilities. A large bonus room, full bath, bedroom, laundry area, and an additional flex space provide room to spread out, work from home, or host extended stays. With its own exterior entrance, this level offers a comfortable sense of separation when needed, along with excellent storage, including a very large walk-in storage room.

Outside, the experience continues with a back deck, a stone firepit area, and a private half-acre yard framed by mature trees and established flower gardens. Many of the renovations and upgrades were completed in 2018 with a clear focus on maintaining the home’s historic character, and a brand-new HVAC system installed in summer 2025 adds valuable peace of mind.
