Welcome to 811 Poindexter Avenue, a rare and unique property in East Ridge tucked against the backside of Missionary Ridge located conveniently just minutes from downtown Chattanooga. This private 1.5-acre homestead offers an exceptional combination of space, character, mature landscaping, and income-producing potential.
A shaded drive through a beautiful row of pine trees leads you deep onto the property, creating a quiet and secluded setting away from neighboring homes. The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped with incredible natural beauty featuring a fire pit area, pergola, fruiting trees, blueberry bushes, Japanese maples, hostas, winding stone pathways, towering mature deciduous trees, and more. An additional storage building provides even more flexibility and functionality.
The main home is full of charm and character with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, plus a potential 4th bedroom in the basement with a nearby full bath. The home has seen numerous major improvements including roof repairs, foundation work, and updated electrical brought up to code.
Also included is a separate secondary home featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, laundry area, and a full kitchen, making it ideal for rental income, multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or a private home office setup. This secondary residence has also been extensively updated with a new roof, new HVAC system, and a beautifully updated kitchen. Additional storage space can be found beneath the guest house as well.
Properties offering this level of privacy, mature landscaping, convenience to downtown, and built-in income potential are incredibly rare, especially at this price point. Call to schedule your showing today.
