Welcome to this beautifully maintained 1880 farmhouse sitting on 1.7ac, a rare blend of timeless Southern charm and thoughtful modern updates. Set in a peaceful country setting, this home offers quiet rural living without sacrificing convenience, just 7 minutes to Costco and the interstate, 4 minutes to in-town essentials, 20 minutes to the best of Chattanooga, and only 1.5 hours to Marietta, GA. It's the perfect mix of privacy, accessibility, and true southern beauty.
The heart of the home is its stunning nearly 500 sq ft covered front porch, a space the owners describe as ''living in an Airbnb every day.'' Whether sipping coffee at sunrise or winding down at sunset, this porch makes every moment feel like a retreat.
Inside, historic character shines through 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, French doors, and a built-in china cabinet in the dining room. The home's layout flows effortlessly, ideal for hosting holiday parties, and large gatherings of friends and family. Outside, the expansive yard and shared easements have been perfect for raising kids: football, volleyball, trampoline fun all at the same time, and evenings gathered around the fire pit for marshmallow roasting.
Major improvements include new septic tank, field lines, french drains and gutters in 2019. The water heater is only 2 years old, the lower level HVAC was replaced in 2021, 200amp electric, metal roof-maintenance in 2023, rubber roof approx. 10yrs old.
The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a sitting area, double vanities, walk-in closet, and tile shower. Upstairs features 3 additional bedrooms, a double-vanity bath, and vinyl windows throughout.
The homeowners have cherished the land itself—gardening, views of Lookout Mountain, and the comfort of the old root cellar, where generations before them also found safety during storms. They've loved caring for this home, knowing they weren't the first to live here and surely won't be the last. It's setting on the property was thoughtfully chosen long ago, allowing perfect sunrises and sunsets to fill the home with natural light.
This is more than a house, it's a place where memories are made, gatherings grow, and the rhythm of country life meets modern convenience. A truly special historic farmhouse ready to welcome its next chapter.
