The popular street the property is located on, N Crest Rd, is extremely popular for its rich history, beautiful views and the location of the ONLY house in TN designed by the world renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Built at the same time and just 1 block away from the famous home, this 1-level mid-century modern home rests on 6.15 expansive park-like acres, which is one of the largest lots on the entire street. The property also offers absolutely majestic views of both western, downtown Chattanooga and Lookout Mtn, and eastern, Blue Ridge Mtns, sides of the ridge offering stunning sunrises and sunsets that must be experienced to truly appreciate. You will see plenty of walkers and joggers taking advantage of the sidewalks along this picturesque road and admire the exceptional original wall in front of the property that was designed to mimic that of the downtown courthouse by the prominent Chattanooga Judge & Congressman, Sam McReynolds. Enjoy the sunrise coming up over the Blue Ridge Mtns and even catch a glimpse of Big Frog Mtn, the tallest Mtn East of the Mississippi, from the 10 ft deep expansive covered back porch. Then catch the sunset from the front patio or any room on the west side of the home as the sun dips down casting its ending array of colors across Lookout Mtn, the TN River and downtown Chattanooga. The exterior also boasts a 3-car garage, a 960 sq ft guest home with carport, a private garden & horseshoe pit and an elevated 670 sq ft stone terrace that offers both eastern & western views. Plenty of room for additional homes with beautiful views making it perfect for multiple families or investors/builders. Enter into an impressive open floor plan with vast hardwood floors and a wall of windows to take in the city views.
