Step inside this gracious, historic home on Missionary Ridge and you'll instantly be drawn to the stunning features of classic 1920s architecture at the same time your eye catches modern upgrades that any thoughtful owner will appreciate. Additions and renovations made in 2007 allow you to enjoy the luxury of a chef's kitchen, an elevator to all three levels, an enormous climate-controlled garage and spacious closets in the Master Bedroom complemented by a spa-like Master Bath on the main level. Timeless elements such as glass doorknobs, built-in shelving nooks, arched doorways, wooden plantation shutters, and generous molding adorn the home and beautifully pair with the updated kitchen, bar area and gorgeous lighting choices. A full mother-in-law suite downstairs with separate entrance and three lovely bedrooms on the top story ensure family and guests alike will be comfortable. Additionally, a second bathroom can be added upstairs with an acceptable offer! The storage options inside are plentiful and the parking space in both the driveway and extended garage makes this home an exception to the rule on the Ridge. But beyond the endearing brick front entrance and the spacious rooms inside (did you see that perfect office in the sunroom?), what most visitors will be entranced with are the resplendent views of downtown Chattanooga from the open decks on two levels in the back of the house. With vistas for miles, these decks (covered, screened and open - take your pick!), can be enjoyed quietly or with friends and neighbors as you entertain. The great room flows beautifully onto the deck so guests can easily move from space to space and take advantage of an unforgettable visit to this home. With the convenience to downtown and the endless amenities both old and new, an opportunity to own this prestigious address doesn't come along often. You're invited to come for a moment, but don't be surprised when you decide to stay for a lifetime!
