This two bedroom, one bath home embodies the charm of St Elmo! On a quiet, pedestrian friendly street in a quickly growing neighborhood, this is not one of those big "fixer upper" projects. The home is in good condition with many recent improvements, and situated on a double lot with fenced in back yard and even a recently built native plant and water feature. Many of the original architectural details are here: arched front entry with an thick solid wood door, original red oak hardwood floors (recently refinished), original trim, limestone fireplace that is actually functional (with newly installed and custom copper chimney cap and built in damper), and even all original doors with skeleton key locks still functioning. Recent updates include: new tile in both kitchen and bath, refinished floors, recently retiled kitchen counters, custom attic vents made by a local artist, a commissioned glass mosaic in the hallway (where the old phone box once was), newly painted exterior, replanted and landscaped yard with native plants, and fenced back yard. New double pane windows that reflect the historic quality of the home have been installed to make it more energy efficient. New insulation was installed in all exterior walls to to further this improvement. Plumbing and electrical systems have been updated within the last 5 years, as well as HVAC and water heater. Generously sized bedrooms frame the single bath with original ceramic tub, with ample storage and closet space. The brightly lit attic space holds the potential for improvement and becoming livable space adding approximately another 390 square feet, with original hardwood floors, and flexibility for several layouts. Many of the older homes you see from this period have a smaller, closed off feel to the interior, but that is certainly not the case at 5005 Beulah Ave. The open layout in the living room and dining room make the central space feel much larger than its footprint. The efficient layout of the kitchen has generous counter space, and great morning light coming in over the kitchen sink. There is also ample room for storage, again something often found missing in some of these older homes. The city has recently confirmed that the budget has approved Virginia avenue to become a pedestrian and bicycle through way. This through way will eventually connect to the Chattanooga River Walk at the North end of the neighborhood, creating a great and safe opportunity to commute downtown. St Elmo is a unique and diverse neighborhood that has many vibrant local businesses and a very involved sense of community, with its own grocery store, coffee house, local eateries and even it's own micro brewpub. The home is also just blocks away from miles of trails flanking Lookout Mountain, making it a dream for the outdoor enthusiast.
