Property Description
Perched along the brow of Signal Mountain with sweeping views across the valley below, 4906 Chestnut Avenue is a 1958 mid-century home full of personality, original charm, and spaces designed to make the most of its spectacular setting. Situated on a private one-acre lot, the property is remarkably level near the home before gently rolling toward the treeline, creating a peaceful backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. Inside, the three-bedroom, two-bath home embraces its mid-century roots while incorporating thoughtful updates along the way. The open floor plan centers around a light-filled living room where built-ins flank the fireplace and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows frame the scenery beyond. French doors open directly to the back deck, allowing the views to become part of the room. Just off the living area, the spacious dining room offers plenty of room for gathering and entertaining, while original wood paneling adds warmth and a fun touch of vintage character. The adjoining kitchen brings in rich navy lower cabinetry paired with white glass-front upper cabinets, a large island with seating for four, an apron-front farmhouse sink, stainless steel gas range, and plenty of space for cooking and conversation. Two of the bedrooms enjoy incredible brow views and French doors opening directly to the back deck, making the scenery one of the first things you see in the morning. The primary bedroom includes its own en suite bath. Both bathrooms celebrate the home's original character in their own way. One has been updated with tile and a walk-in shower while keeping the original mint green sink as a playful focal point. The second is an exceptionally well-preserved time capsule, complete with original pink tile and coordinating walls that bring all the personality of the home's 1950s design. A large laundry room with built-in cabinetry leads to a lower den, providing flexible space for a home office, gym, game room, or second living area. An accessible storage area within the crawl space also provides convenient access to the home's systems and additional storage. Outside is where this property becomes truly special. A screened porch offers a quiet spot for morning coffee, reading, or a collection of plants, all with the brow as its backdrop. The expansive back deck is made for grilling, gathering with friends, or simply taking in unobstructed views that stretch across the valley and seemingly go on forever. The approximately one-acre lot offers privacy and room to enjoy the outdoors, and the septic system is approved for up to four bedrooms, providing additional possibilities for the property. Located approximately five minutes from the W Road, the home offers convenient access on and off Signal Mountain while remaining close to hiking trails, outdoor recreation, and the amenities of the mountain community. Zoned for Signal Mountain schools, including Nolan Elementary, and approximately 20 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, 4906 Chestnut Avenue pairs an unforgettable setting with a home that has held onto all the right pieces of its 1958 character.
