Description

One-of-a-kind custom home designed and built by its current owners, nestled on two adjoining private lots in the heart of Hill City in North Chattanooga. Located just over a mile from Coolidge Park, enjoy easy access to vibrant retail, specialty restaurants, and community gathering spaces while still savoring the privacy of this tree-surrounded retreat. The circular driveway leads to the striking high-peaked façade and an impressive 8-foot handmade round-top front door with metal straps. Guests may enter via stairs or a ramp connecting to the spacious side deck. Off-street parking wraps around to the rear, where two large garages provide excellent storage and workspace. Outdoor living is exceptional. Enjoy sunrise views to the east and sunsets to the west from the pool and deck areas. The side deck features an outdoor kitchen with sink and grill, plus a custom glass garage-style pass-through door that opens directly into the interior kitchen, perfect for seamless entertaining. Inside, main-level ceilings are 10 feet high with 8-foot doors throughout. The kitchen blends artistry and function with concrete countertops, a substantial concrete island, and custom spalted maple cabinetry. Roll-out drawers and shelving flank the refrigerator for easy access, while a pull-out chopping block between the farmhouse sink and refrigerator adds extra prep space. Two dishwashers, a garbage disposal, and concealed roll-out recycling bins make clean-up efficient. The kitchen opens to the dramatic great room with 26-foot angled ceilings, creating a bright and inviting gathering space. Massive double-hung windows (with lifetime warranty) flood the home with natural light. Floors throughout the main level are milled from locally sourced trees and sit atop substantial 10-12-inch poured concrete basement walls, reflecting the home's quality craftsmanship. A whole-house exhaust fan complements the HVAC system during cool spring and fall days. The main-level primary suite offers sunrise views through three large windows and an 8-foot glass door. The cedar-lined walk-in closet is truly room-sized and crafted from locally cut cedar, accessible from both the bedroom and laundry room. The primary bath features dual sinks set in a custom vanity with mixed wood accents, concrete countertops, an open tile and stone walk-in shower, and a jetted tub with instant hot water. The main-level guest bath includes a concrete countertop and designer bowl sink. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer oversized 4x8 closets and share a bathroom with window and concrete countertop. A game room/studio space opens to its own deck. The full unfinished basement spans the footprint of the home and includes a storm shelter with half bath and a unique wall of antique salvaged doors. This thoughtfully designed North Chattanooga gem offers privacy, character, and custom craftsmanship in an unbeatable location -- truly a rare opportunity in Hill City.
