Maggie Jones, USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee

HGTV will give away a fully furnished and renovated 1920s bungalow in Knoxville as a part of its Urban Oasis Giveaway 2017.

The home, located in the 4th & Gill area, is 2,100 square feet and has two bedrooms and two baths, according to a release from HGTV.

“With our corporate headquarters right here in Knoxville, we know what an up-and-coming metropolis our city truly is – it has it all, including an urban feel infused with Southern hospitality,” said Ron Feinbaum, General Manager of HGTV Home Promotions, in the release. “Our team is accustomed to traveling the country to produce the top-notch homes we give away to our viewers each year. With this project, it’s also gratifying to be able to showcase all that our ‘Scruffy City’ has to offer – from an exploding culinary scene to endless outdoor adventure.”

HGTV's Project Manager Scott Branscom will work with local firms Open Door Architecture and Tillman Companies and Atlanta-based interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn on the design, renovation and art direction and decor respectively.

"The charming home will undergo a transformation giving it an all-new interior and exterior while keeping true to the historic nature of the neighborhood to make it a hot property for sustainable urban living," the release said.
