Property Overview

153 Jefferson Pike is a historic 1880 stone home located in Knoxville, Frederick County.

The property offers approximately 936 SF above grade, plus additional finished lower-level area and a finished attic / bonus level that provides functionality beyond the primary bedroom count.

The existing configuration is 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, with a traditional two-story layout, basement and attic space.

The combination of stone construction, historic character and updated mechanical components creates a unique product compared with more conventional smaller homes in the surrounding market.

Main Living Areas

The home maintains much of its older-house character while offering a practical residential layout.

Features include:

• Traditional living spaces
• Historic stone construction
• Wood flooring in portions of the home
• Multiple levels of usable space
• Finished attic
• Basement utility
• Public utilities

The smaller footprint also lends itself well to a focused finished presentation without requiring a large suburban-house renovation.

Kitchen

The kitchen provides an established layout with existing cabinetry, counters and appliance locations.

Its compact footprint works naturally with the scale and historic character of the property.

Bedrooms

The property offers 2 established bedrooms.

The prior MLS and public records consistently identify the property as a 2-bedroom home. Pasted text

Finished Attic / Bonus Space

The upper attic level provides additional usable space beyond the two-bedroom configuration.

This area can provide flexible utility as:

• Home office
• Hobby space
• Reading room
• Studio
• Storage
• Flex / bonus room

For accuracy, the property is being marketed as 2 bedrooms + finished attic / bonus space, rather than adding another bedroom to the advertised count.

Lower Level

The property includes approximately 468 SF below grade, consisting of both finished and unfinished areas.

The lower level adds useful laundry, mechanical, storage and flex-space functionality beyond the 936 SF above-grade footprint. Pasted text

Bathroom

The home includes 1 full bathroom with an existing tiled shower and vanity.

The bathroom provides a functional existing layout consistent with the property’s compact residential footprint.

Mechanical & Utility Features

The property benefits from several useful existing components.

HVAC

Carrier HVAC equipment is visible at the property.

Water Heater

A modern-style Rheem water heater is installed.

Electrical

A modern breaker panel is visible.

Utilities

• Public water
• Public sewer
• Electric water heating

Exterior & Character

One of the home’s strongest features is its distinctive stone exterior.

Additional exterior features include:

• Historic farmhouse appearance
• Rear deck
• Outdoor seating / yard area
• Shed
• Mature vegetation
• Shared driveway access

The property offers considerably more architectural character than a typical small investor acquisition.

ARV & Comp Support

ARV: $265,000

The finished-value position is supported by recent Knoxville and nearby Brunswick sales, including multiple older homes of similar scale.

206 Jefferson Pike — $270,000

Same-Street Upper Benchmark

• Sold February 25, 2026
• 4 Beds / 1.5 Baths
• Approx. 1,728 SF
• 1880 construction
• Renovated kitchen
• Updated flooring and paint

This is the most important same-street market benchmark.

It is substantially larger and offers additional bedroom/bathroom utility, so it establishes an upper neighborhood reference rather than a direct one-for-one comp.

Its $270K sale supports a strong finished subject reaching into the mid-$200Ks.

37 E C St — $285,000

• Sold April 21, 2026
• 3 Beds / 1 Bath
• Approx. 1,200 SF
• Renovated kitchen and bathroom
• Updated HVAC and finishes

Provides a strong upper renovation benchmark for similarly sized older housing in the expanded market.

201 N Maple Ave — $250,000

• Sold July 8, 2026
• 2 Beds / 1.5 Baths
• Approx. 1,200 SF

Useful support for smaller two-bedroom traditional homes trading around the mid-$200Ks.

ARV Positioning

ARV: $265,000

The finished-value story is driven by:

Historic stone construction • same-street $270K sale • 936 SF above grade • additional finished basement area • finished attic / bonus space • public water and sewer • existing updated mechanical components • no HOA identified • nearby renovated sales extending into the mid-$200Ks
