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

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.
