Perched above the Tennessee River and just steps from the Chattanooga Golf & Country Club, this distinguished Neoclassical Revival estate is one of Riverview's architectural treasures. Designed by noted architect J.D. Alsup, the stately brick residence spans over an acre of meticulously landscaped grounds with dual frontage on Hillcrest and Riverview Roads. Inside, the 4-bedroom, three full and two half bath main home showcases original craftsmanship, including solid oak doors, quarter-sawn oak floors, intricate moldings, and soaring 10-11 ft ceilings. Five fireplaces, a grand gallery hall, and both formal and informal staircases create an elegant flow, while extensive updates bring modern comfort. The fully rebuilt Carriage House offers a private apartment with a new kitchen, bath, bedroom, HVAC, and a lower-level gym with sauna and half bath. Recent upgrades include a complete electrical overhaul, renovated kitchen with new appliances and fixtures, a breakfast bar with built-ins, an updated primary suite with custom closet, heated floors, and a steam shower, fully remodeled baths, a restored sunroom, a new laundry room, and a finished third-floor bonus/game room. Outdoor enhancements feature a brand-new circular drive, fire pit, fountain, and a pavilion with a fireplace, sound system, and TV wiring, perfect for entertaining with river views. Additional improvements include new sewer lines, rebuilt retaining walls, and roof repairs with spare tiles stored onsite. This rare property blends architectural pedigree, timeless design, and thoughtful upgrades, offering extraordinary indoor-outdoor living and a home ready to stand the test of time.
Main house is 7134 sq ft and guest house is 777 sq ft.
