Located in the heart of historic Saint Elmo, hiding in plain sight, you will find the most beautiful and fully restored home at 4303 Tennessee Avenue. The craftsmanship, vaulted ceilings, original wood windows, hardwood floors, and on-point tile work are just a handful of the special features that simultaneously make this home a craftsman's dream while offering a modern, sophisticated vibe.
In 2024, the Seller thoughtfully reclaimed and rehabilitated one of Saint Elmo's finest treasures at approximately 3000 sq ft +/-. The home stands out with unique and versatile features in the reverse floor plan. With two distinct living spaces, upstairs and downstairs, this home allows for aging in place and so much more.
For homeowners that love to entertain a crowd, a full kitchen upstairs and a second full kitchen downstairs and with two living areas. For homeowners that envision multigenerational living with aging family members and/or children preparing to launch. For homeowners that have a growing and expanding family. For work at home professionals with work needs that require dedicated entrances and separate spaces for living and working. For entrepreneurial homeowners that gravitate towards using their home hosting short term and long term guests. The home has the ability to wear many hats to try on, all of which will serve growing and changing needs each year and decades to come.
As for the layout and flow of the home, the thoughtfulness continues. Upon arrival, the front porch gas lanterns flicker, inviting you inside. The open floor plan flows into the upper level living, dining and kitchen and showcases solid hardwood floors, the living room gas log fireplace, wood trim details, and vaulted ceilings with a rolling ladder to access a fun nook above. The open kitchen layout brags of style and function with stunning quartz countertops, tiled and vaulted accent wall, gold fixtures and hardware, pot-filler over the gas range, stainless steel fixtures, stainless steel appliances, single basin porcelain sink and waterfall center island.
The primary bedroom and ensuite are conveniently located on the main level with the custom feature of washer and dryer hookups in the large walk-in closet. The primary ensuite combines a perfect blend of chic style with a nod to the historic yesteryears. The gorgeous, green tile from floor to ceiling, glass enclosed stand alone shower, claw foot soaking tub and double quartz vanity make this space both relaxing and a true work of art. The custom trim and tile on the main floor continues with an additional bedroom and guest bathroom and is completed with a 30' x 11' large deck for outdoor entertaining and expansive views of Lookout Mountain to be enjoyed the majority of months out of the year.
On the lower level the versatility truly begins. The staircase from upstairs brings you into the brilliance of the home - the second open floor plan with a full kitchen, and large bonus space for living and dining. The same attention to aesthetic details continue downstairs with wood trim, sophisticated tile, hardwood floors, accent walls and gold hardware and fixtures. There are 3 bedrooms with a shared bathroom and a full laundry room with sink and a splash of fun in the flamingo wallpaper. To finish this special home off, step outside onto the second (this time covered) large deck at 30' x 15'. Not only is it a beautiful home, but the builder has invested in the details of the integrity of the house to include: new roof, electric, plumbing, HVAC, spray foam insulation, parking pad, exterior & interior paint, new floors, appliances and fixtures.
Immediately behind the house is the Virginia Avenue Greenway. The City of Chattanooga has smartly extended the paved pedestrian and cyclist Greenway to connect with the Riverwalk, making it possible to bike, walk, run, skate, scoot, zip or pogo all the way downtown and beyond while significantly limiting the amount of interaction with vehicles. The hip neighborhood of Saint Elmo has many amenities to offer! The local watering hole, The Tap House, is located only a few blocks away and within walking distance for most. Further entertainment and enjoyment the wide array of options extends from the historic Incline up Lookout Mountain, artisan chocolate at the Hot Chocolatier, live music at the Woodshop, coffee at Goodman's Coffee Roasters, pizza at the beloved Mr. T's, ice cream at Clumpies, a bottle of fine wine or spirits from Scenic City Wine and enjoy a delicious meal at Little Coyote and 1885 - both of which arguably have two of the best outside dining patios in all of Chattanooga.
Don't wait to call me immediately for your private showing! This is one of those houses that you have to see in person to truly appreciate. Information deemed reliable. Buyer to verify all information. Verification of Funds or Pre-approval letter required with any offer.
