Multiple Offers Recieved. HIghest & Best Due Thurday (2-19) by 5pm. Perched on the side of historic Missionary Ridge with jaw-dropping, west-facing views over downtown Chattanooga, this quirky-cool 1960s rancher delivers rare flexibility in an A+ location... just minutes to everything downtown and quick to the interstate. You're tucked above the city with a true ''million-dollar'' skyline view, yet only a short drive to the Southside, Memorial Auditorium, the North Shore, and roughly 15-20 minutes to the Chattanooga airport. It's hard to find this kind of separation and convenience in the same address.
The home is designed to meander with the landscape, creating a tiered layout that feels intentional and private at every level. At the top, a self-contained upper apartment/studio captures sweeping city views... kitchen in place, separate bedroom, and tile shower bath. It needs appliances to complete, but the structure is there. Think artist's studio, executive office, creative retreat, or private client space with inspiring views.
Continue down the exterior ramp and you enter the main house. Here, floor-to-ceiling windows run the length of the great room, framing the skyline. A floating fireplace anchors the space, complemented by a gas cooktop and open living areas designed to soak in the view. The flex/office space includes its own full bath with tile shower and a second fireplace... ideal for true work-from-home separation. The main level offers 3 bedrooms and 4 full baths, including a spacious primary suite with tiled shower en suite. A covered front porch faces the city, making evenings unforgettable.
Meander down once more and you'll find a fully finished 1-bedroom, 1-bath basement apartment... 100% ready with kitchen, laundry hookups, and its own porch area. Perfect for multigenerational living, guests, or potential income. While the property operates on a single meter and is not officially three separate units, the opportunity here is exceptional. Live in one level, rent another. Create a private studio. Build a business space with separation from home life. Or simply enjoy the layered design and views as a distinctive Missionary Ridge residence.
Location, flexibility, and views.. rarely do all three align like this.
