643 E Crest Road, Chattanooga, TN 37404 - Dustin McCall

$535,000

Welcome home to 643 E Crest Road on the top of Missionary Ridge in the heart of Chattanooga, TN. Built in 1910, this stunning family home has never been on the market and has served generations of the same family who have lovingly cared for and preserved such a… Read More historic beauty. 115 years later, this venerated estate is shining with authenticity and charm that brightens every corner. Original doors, doorknobs and hinges, 2.5'' quarter sawn red oak hardwood floors, and the idyllic front stone wall with integrated steps and brick mailbox are only the first few touches that speak to the integrity of a home like this. And just steps away, as you walk down the quaint sidewalks in one of Chattanooga's oldest neighborhoods, you'll find yourself gazing at the ubiquitous Chattanooga vista: Lookout Mountain and the Scenic City below. The charming front elevation of the home is beset with original brick in a Bavarian style. The landscaping and quaint front porch hearken to a different era. Inside the front entry, a large den welcomes you into the home. The original fireplace, now with a ventless gas insert, serves as the focal point to the room while the surrounding windows with thick custom mouldings and plantation shutters, which also feature throughout the home, bathes the space in natural light. The original hardwood floors, which continue through the dining area and two downstairs bedrooms, grounds the first floor. The large 10 inch baseboards also remind us of a bygone era, where craftsmanship and meticulous details were the standard and not the exception. The dining area is the perfect space for dinner parties and family breakfasts which sits just off of the kitchen and also holds the staircase that leads to the second floor. Both first bedrooms are on the right side of the home. High ceilings, natural lights, gorgeous floors, and ample space in each are all highlights of these spaces. The bathroom in between features black and white penny tile and beadboard wainscoating, reminiscent of the early 1900s, along with a walk-in shower and new vanity and lighting. Using the stairwell in the dining room, upstairs you'll find a loft area that's perfect for a library, study, office, kids play area, or multi purpose space, and two more large bedrooms. One bedroom also features a cedar closet, and the floors upstairs are also original pine floors, because pine was usually used upstairs, while a stronger wood was used on the main floor. The bathroom off the flex space has also been lovingly updated with new vanity and countertop, a new toilet and gorgeous chrome bath hardware that exudes turn of the twentieth century elegance. Off of the dining area, the kitchen has been lovingly redone to include all modern appliances, a dazzling backsplash, updated cabinetry that takes full advantage of the tall ceilings, and updated flooring in this area as well. The door to the basement is also located here. And at the back of the home, the family room shines as brightly as the front. This is traditionally the most used entrance to the home because of the detached two car garage just outside the sets of french doors, and the extremely convenient private alley that connects the back of the home to Peachtree Street. The family room has been updated to include the beautiful earthy tile floor, updated ventless gas insert in the fireplace, new lighting, a new half bath, and a redone laundry room that also serves a utility space with its own separate exit to the outside and the right side of the home. The family room also features an exit to the paver patio and outdoor kitchen on the left side of the home. An integrated gas grill, counterspace and fire pit make this this quintessential space for enjoying our mild East Tennessee weather for the majority of the year. This home also features a new roof within the last 8 years, along with a new gable roof over the family room and a new HVAC within that time frame as well, and including the mini split system servicing the family room.
