Unique opportunity if you are looking for a beautiful, restored, older residence in a super convenient location with the added bonus of having income potential. Zoned R-4 which allows short term rentals, this property would also make a lovely bed and breakfast or an event venue at the historic ''Kelley House'' just minutes from downtown Chattanooga on McCallie Ave. The main house was built circa 1893 with some additions in the 1920's, while the adjoining ''event'' structure was added in 1995. The resulting layout of this property makes this the perfect spot for ''living'' space on one side and ''entertaining'' space on the other with a parking lot on the far side of the gated driveway to accommodate guests. The sellers have been painstakingly working to restore the original residence installing new wiring (phase 3), plumbing, insulation and HVAC systems, refinishing hardwoods, installing period lighting, updating kitchens and baths and even replicating original paint colors and wall paper to reflect the style of this era. You will absolutely love the curb appeal offered by the Queen Anne style and meticulous landscaping, and the exterior charm extends to the interior of the house due to the mostly original wavy glass window panes, the accordion-style French doors, lovely moldings and original tile and mantles on the multiple decorative fireplaces. The lower level features a spacious foyer with black and white tile and exquisite sconces with a spacious music room on the right, and the formal living room on the left. The living room opens to the library with wonderful built-ins, and the library then open to the spacious sun room with 3 walls of windows and fantastic natural lighting. It also has French accordion style doors to the enormous dining room - perfect for entertaining or serving guests. The kitchen has been updated with modern appliances but also retains a butler's pantry for display or storage needs. A rear hall has access to a new powder room that shows off one of 2 lovely stained glass windows and also leads to a tiered private courtyard area which is perfect for entertaining, the over-sized single bay garage and the fenced yard with mountain views, a garden area and pergola/swing. The upper level of the main house has a sitting area off of the landing, a bedroom suite with a private bath that boasts a claw-footed tub and marble vanity, an additional bedroom currently being used as an office, the original master suite with its own entry hall and private bath with air jetted tub, plus 2 more additional bedrooms, one with a private bath and access to the attic storage. The attic has spray foam insulation to help with energy costs. The new master bedroom is just off of the hallway connecting the old with the new and boasts an enormous walk-in closet and master bath with dual vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. There is also a huge butler's pantry with wine fridge, prep sink and walk-in refrigerator, access to a rear fenced patio area, a 2nd full kitchen, 2nd laundry facility and additional storage. You will love the enormous great room or event hall that has a beamed ceiling with decorative chandelier and stone gas fireplace, as well as easy access to a media room, storage room with utility sink and both the men's and women's commercial bathrooms. While the sellers have worked hard to maintain the vintage feel, they have not skipped the modern amenities, such as smart home wiring, an elaborate fire and security system, new wiring, plumbing and more.
