    What's special

    Welcome to 700 South Crest Road, a magnificent estate steeped in history and charm. This private residence, known as ''Oak Clift'', was constructed in 1941 on the scenic Missionary Ridge. From its elevated perch, the estate boasts breathtaking panoramic views of Lookout Mountain and Covenant College to the West, and a picturesque winter vista to the East. Set on a sprawling 5-acre lot, the property is adorned with lush, professionally designed landscaping, raised garden beds, and majestic boxwoods that line the driveway, extending a warm welcome to this elegant home. As you step inside, you're greeted by an expansive dining room with it's own antique marble fireplace. It's large enough to host a dinner party for at least 14 guests! The living room, equally impressive, featuring an antique marble mantel above the fireplace and original hardwood floors that add a touch of classic sophistication. Adjacent to the living area, you'll find a stately study with original wood-paneled walls and built-in shelving, creating a cozy and refined space for work or relaxation. The main level also includes the primary bedroom and an additional bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The breakfast room is a sunlit retreat, offering views of the stunning grounds and gardens. The beautifully updated kitchen, overlooking the side patio and expansive lawn, is perfectly positioned for easy living and entertaining. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a study nook. The unfinished, walk-out attic space of over 750 square feet provides ample storage or the potential for future expansion. The basement is equally functional, featuring a bonus/playroom with a wood-burning fireplace, another bedroom and full bathroom, a unique office space originally designed as a bomb shelter, a half bathroom, and a generous utility room. The purchase also includes the lots across the street, ensuring the preservation of the unobstructed, stunning views of Lookout Mountain. This exceptional home, with its rich history and expansive living spaces, is ready for a new family to cherish and enjoy.
