    You're in luck! Rare find with this updated 1927 Craftsman style Northshore beauty located on one of Chattanooga's best streets, Forest Avenue! Demand is always high for well-taken care of properties on this convenient street that ends right into the famous Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge and Chattanooga's Northshore Frazier Ave offering countless shops and restaurants. The home is also zoned for award-winning Normal Park Schools, just a few blocks from the Publix shopping center and 1 block away from one of the best-kept secrets in the area, Frances B Wyatt Park. This park offers a pickleball court, baseball diamond, playground, picnic table & grills & even an indoor community center. The charm of the home starts right away with the token Craftsman style deep covered front porch that is still just as perfect for relaxing and watching the neighborhood go by as it was in the 1920s. We all know how hectic life can be currently & time just seems to slow down a bit in a home like this, allowing us to take notice of what is truly important. Stepping into the front door, you will be genuinely blown away by the beauty of the original Heart Pine floors that have recently been professionally refinished. The whole house plantation shutters just exacerbate the charm and perfection of this home. The entry is flanked by a quaint living area with built-ins and a formal dining room, both with convenient working gas fireplaces that can quickly heat the entire first level. There is a good-sized bedroom on the main level with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. The kitchen is bright with loads of natural light pouring in from the sunrise-facing windows and looks out over the large deck and fenced backyard. The kitchen offers the perfect setting for any would-be chef with its 5-burner gas range w/ exterior ventilation, granite counters, loads of cabinets, floating shelves & a stainless steel island with barstool space. Be prepared to be pampered when you are given an entire second level as your private oasis primary suite area. This nearly 800 sq ft space offers 2 walls of windows that allow amazing views and natural light to be surprisingly commonplace. With built-in shelves and plenty of room for a sitting area, exercise space, or office, you will enjoy all the customizable options that suit your lifestyle best. The ensuite bath offers 2 sinks, lots of counter space, more natural light, a separate shower & a HUGE soak tub surrounded by counter space that is certain to make you forget about any heaviness that could be filling your mind. The finished basement is perfect for the third bedroom and currently offers a Murphy bed setup allowing for this space to be multi-purpose. The daylight walk-out basement has a large full bath with a spacious tiled shower and closet. You will also take note of the high ceiling and large unfinished basement area that has been impressively encapsulated by AFS. The exterior is just as impressive and boasts several features such as a massive deck off the kitchen area that overlooks the good-sized fenced backyard, a coveted driveway leading to a gated off-parking area with a carport & an attached storage room. So come...and see why SO many dream of the reality of the relaxing urban lifestyle that Forest Ave and the Chattanooga Northshore, with all its downtown cityscapes, has to offer!
