Full of character and set in the heart of historic St. Elmo, this beautifully updated three-bedroom home has been cared for with thoughtful attention to detail while preserving the original features that make it so special. A rocking-chair front porch wraps around the entry, while a shingled gable and stained-glass accent add to its timeless charm. The living room centers around a rustic brick fireplace with an arched opening and wood mantel, with a spacious dining area just around the corner for gathering and entertaining. The roomy kitchen features a classic checkered tile floor, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, and brass hardware. A dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience.
Natural light fills all three bedrooms, which are connected in a row and offer a flexible layout that can adapt to your needs. The center room works beautifully as a sitting room, playroom, or work-from-home space, creating added separation between the primary and guest bedroom. Original decorative fireplaces in the center room and guest bedroom add even more historic character. The primary bedroom provides direct access to the laundry room and an updated full bath featuring a stand-alone tub and classic subway tile.
Outdoor living is just as inviting, with an upper deck for grilling and dining and a lower deck offering even more room to relax. The level, fully fenced backyard has lush, low-maintenance grass with plenty of space for pets, play, or a raised-bed garden. Located at the foot of Lookout Mountain and approximately four miles from downtown Chattanooga, 4602 Alabama Avenue puts the best of St. Elmo close by. Walk or bike to neighborhood restaurants, shops, the Virginia Avenue Greenway, playgrounds, and nearby trails, including Guild-Hardy and Glen Falls. From quiet mornings on the porch to afternoons exploring the neighborhood, this is a home and location that make everyday life feel a little more special. Local lenders preferred.
