    What's special

    View of lookout mountainDelightful front porchModern open feelWalk-in tiled showerCentralized kitchenDouble vanityStand alone tub
    This charming turn of the century home was gutted to the studs in the 1980's, rewired, re-plumbed, well insulated and sheetrocked throughout.NEW ROOF 2024. BOTH Heat/Air units replaced in 2021! The ceiling heights are 10' & 9.' Some walls were removed to give the home a modern, open feel while retaining the original fabulous character and trim work typical of an old home. The centralized kitchen is modern, beautiful shaker style cabinets, and with an island workspace/breakfast bar. It is very open to the den and dining room. The living room is essentially a large walk-in windowed bay leading to a delightful front porch - both have a view of Lookout Mountain. There is gas log fireplace in the living room right as you enter the home. Opening to the living room and dining room is a 19' x 15' den with a newly installed hardwood floor. There is also a small 4th bedroom or study on this level and a laundry/mudroom/full bath. This 1920s home has a master suite upstairs that is the width of the home with a stand alone tub, walk-in tiled shower, and a double vanity. The 3 upstairs bedrooms are large. Both guest bathrooms have been updated. The view is also enjoyed from the 2nd floor. Beautiful heart pine floors upstairs. The corner lot is large, gently sloping with bearing peach and blueberry tree/bushes. The house sits handsomely on the lot and off the street. It is totally charming inside and out. Being in such good condition, it will not last long on the market so call us to make an appointment now before it's sold.
