Property Description
Step into timeless elegance with this meticulously restored early 1900s estate in the heart of Soddy Daisy, TN, just 25 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Offering approximately 3,600 sq ft in the main home, a 1,494± sq ft upper-level guest suite with private entrance, & a 1,000± sq ft detached apartment, this unique property blends historic charm, thoughtful updates, & income-producing potential.
The main home features 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths, with two large living rooms separated by original oversized pocket doors. Original heart-of-pine floors, five decorative fireplaces, picture-rail molding, and transom windows preserve the home's historic character. The formal dining room easily accommodates 8-10 guests, while the vintage-style guest bath offers a clawfoot tub, chain-pull toilet, and classic tile work. The downstairs area also includes a spacious guest room to welcome your out-of-town visitors. The chef's kitchen includes granite countertops, a gas stove, double ovens, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The expansive primary suite features private deck access and a spa-style bathroom complete with double shower heads, a tiled bench, & heated floors. There is a large utility/mudroom provides 8 built-in cubbies and bench seating, and the 308± sq ft screened-in porch offers the perfect setting for outdoor dining or relaxing.
The upstairs guest suite is approximately 1,494 sq ft & has its own private entrance and includes 3 large bedrooms, each with double walk-in closets and charming nooks.
