850 Oak Street

Meticulously renovated all-brick 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home in the historic Fortwood District within walking distance of UTC and close to additional schools, hospitals, shopping, restaurants, and downtown Chattanooga. Built circa 1900, the seller had a wonderful vision and did an absolutely beautiful job of updating the home with modern amenities, including an in-law suite in the daylight basement, but also staying true to the period in which the home was built. You will especially appreciate the original hardwoods throughout most of the house, the choice of tile in the bathrooms, the dental molding, tall ceilings, pocket doors - both solid and glass, decorative fireplaces, painted brick accent walls, color washed walls, brass light switches, fanciful wallpaper and hardware, sound system wiring, and more. Your tour begins with entry from the covered front porch to the spacious foyer that boasts a sitting area and the front staircase to the upper level. The foyer has pocket doors to the office/library on the right and also opens to the formal dining room. The office has a second set of pocket doors to the adjoining living room which in turn has pocket doors to the dining room, and these three rooms are versatile and could be interchanged if desired. The powder room and the second staircase are located in the hallway to the kitchen which is sure to impress with its new red oak hardwood floor in a fun herringbone pattern, custom soft-close cabinetry, center island, marble countertops and tile backsplash, smart stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry and access to the rear covered porch with delightful brick arches and steps to the back yard and side driveway. Three of the bedrooms are on the second floor, including the primary bedroom which has a walk-in closet with a convenient pass-through door to the laundry room, and the beautiful primary bath with dual marble vanity, tiled shower and a peach hued claw-footed tub. The two additional bedrooms share the use of the primary-worthy hall bath with one of the bedrooms having direct access. Head down to the lower level where you will find a living space with a wet bar that has separate access to the exterior, the 4th bedroom, and the 3rd full bath with a tiled shower - perfect for teens, in-laws, or extended guests. Simply a wonderful opportunity for the buyer seeking the charm of an older home artfully melded with modern finishes in a premium downtown location, so please call for more information and to schedule your private showing today.
