The front foyer welcomes you with historic stained glass, setting the tone for the home's unique blend of old and new. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with both a covered front porch and a side porch offering ideal spaces to relax and enjoy the neighborhood. The City of Chattanooga has smartly extended the paved pedestrian and cyclist Greenway to connect with the Riverwalk, making it possible to bike, walk, run, skate, scoot, zip or pogo all the way downtown and beyond while significantly limiting the amount of interaction with vehicles. The hip neighborhood of Saint Elmo has many amenities to offer! The local watering hole that features live music, The Woodshop, is located near by and within walking distance for most. Further entertainment and enjoyment the wide array of options extends from the historic Incline up Lookout Mountain, artisan chocolate at the Hot Chocolatier, coffee at Goodman's Coffee Roasters, pizza at the beloved Mr. T's, ice cream at Clumpies, a bottle of fine wine or spirits from Scenic City Wine and enjoy a delicious meal at Little Coyote, (Michelin Guide recognized) which has a fabulous outside dining patio. This is one of those houses that you have to see in person to truly appreciate. Information deemed reliable. Buyer to verify all information.
