Come see this one-of-a-kind, century-old home that has been thoughtfully restored and maintained to provide modern amenities and function, all while honoring the architectural and historical significance of the era in which it was built. This idyllic 1920's Colonial sits proudly on a manageable, yet spacious half acre in the heart of Chattanooga. Distinguished features include gleaming hardwood floors, 9 foot ceilings throughout, large period-appropriate moldings, vintage architectural details, a covered side smoking porch, original wood staircase & banister, a charming butler's pantry, and so much more! The modernizations include a complete overhaul of the plumbing to PEX and PVC, updated electrical system, new architectural shingle roof in 2019, energy efficient windows installed throughout, a whole house water purification/softening system, new gutters and rain collection system, and more! (Request a Full Updates List from listing agent)! The Master suite is on the main level and features his and hers closets as well as a custom window seat overlooking the back yard with cedar lined storage beneath. The main level also hosts multiple living spaces including a huge sunroom, a quiet den for relaxing and a large dining space that has direct access to the covered side porch. The kitchen is lovely and features custom built cabinets, leathered stone countertops and a gas range! Upstairs you will find two large bedrooms, a conveniently located full bath and a bonus room; originally used to store chests, that could be used as an office, nursery or even a small bedroom! The basement is huge and could easily be used for more living space! Use it as a workshop, build a kids play area, make a man-cave, use for storage needs.... let your imagination run wild! There is also plenty of great outdoor space with a large back patio, an oversized, fully fenced backyard, detached garage/workshop, a greenhouse for the green thumbs as well as mature landscaping throughout This house really is the dream... The character and charm of a century ago that has already been thoughtfully modernized and made ready to stand the test of the next 100 years. They truly don't make 'em like they used to and this home is the purist example of that. Properties like this just don't come available every day, so schedule your showing today!
