Description

Built circa 1910 and situated on nearly a half-acre +/- lot in the heart of North Chattanooga, this stunning brick 5 bedroom, 3 bath home has been meticulously updated to reflect today's affinity for modern amenities while taking great care to pay homage to the period in which it was built. Some notable features include new and refinished hardwoods, new tile, solid doors, glass doorknobs, crown and dental moldings, wood windows, French doors, decorative period lighting, new fixtures, new railings, new wiring and plumbing, new baths, new appliances, new countertops, new plantations shutters, new paint inside and out, a recently finished basement area, new landscaping and so much more. Your tour begins with entry from the covered front porch with dramatic columns, new mosaic tile and the beautifully refurbished front door. The formal living room is to the left and has a gas fireplace and a large arched opening to the formal dining room. The dining room has a built-in hutch with intricate carvings that the seller had refinished and is truly a work of art. French doors lead to a sitting or breakfast room which adjoins the kitchen. The kitchen is well appointed with new marble countertops, custom cabinetry, imported 19th century tile backsplash, Viking appliances and an antique marble topped center island. An exterior door leads to a covered side porch with easy everyday access to the driveway and parking pads. Next to the kitchen you will find an office with a built-in corner desk and recently installed laundry closet. A hall guest bath services the 2 main level bedrooms and has a marble furniture vanity, tub/shower combo with tile surround and built-in linen cabinetry. A rear hall door leads to a covered patio or portico and parking area. Head upstairs where you will find 3 additional bedrooms, including the primary suite which has a new gas fireplace, the primary bath with new tile, new dual marble vanity, separate shower with new tile and glass, and a walk-in closet with new hardwood flooring and access to the walk-out attic. The hall bath also has a tile floor, marble vanity and a tub/shower combo with tile and glass surround. A central den separates the primary bedroom from the guest bedrooms and has built-in cabinetry for storage and entertainment, as well as a single French door to the covered front balcony. The basement area is now heated and cooled and is currently serving as a home gym but would also make a great rec space or playroom. The back and side yards are mostly level and provide plenty of space for outdoor fun and games. All of this, and you are within walking distance of Normal Park schools and just minutes from parks, additional schools, the Golf and Country Club, the shopping and restaurants of the North Shore, and downtown Chattanooga.
