Property Description

Located in the heart of Saint Elmo's historic district and facing the natural beauty of Lookout Mountain, this meticulously renovated Victorian offers a rare blend of 19th-century charm and thoughtful modern updates. Originally built circa 1885, the home has been carefully gutted and restored over the past two decades, preserving its character while enhancing everyday livability. A gracious wrap-around covered porch with classic wood railing welcomes you inside, where soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, hardwood floors, and four original decorative fireplaces create a warm, timeless atmosphere. The home offers approximately 2,500 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, including two ensuite bedrooms—one on the main level and another upstairs—along with three full baths and one half bath. Large windows throughout flood the interior with sunlight, highlighting the craftsmanship and architectural details. A detached two-car garage, built approximately eight years ago, provides exceptional convenience—an uncommon feature for a home of this era. Recent improvements include a brand-new HVAC unit for added comfort. Perfectly positioned for an active and connected lifestyle, the home allows you to walk or bike to grocery stores, acclaimed local restaurants, riverwalks, downtown Chattanooga, hiking and mountain biking trails, and all that the city has to offer. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special historic home where timeless architecture, modern comforts, and an unbeatable location come together seamlessly.
