Mornings start on the covered front porch with coffee in hand, and evenings drift out back to the brick patio, where the fire pit gets lit and the fenced, level yard stretches out behind you. The outdoor space here works as hard as you do. A guest house gives visitors, a home office or a studio a place of its own, the two-car garage and workshop outbuildings leave room for projects and tools, and the coop is ready for fresh eggs. A gated back yard keeps it all close at hand. Inside, more than a century of character meets everyday comfort. The family room's beamed, vaulted ceiling and fireplace set the tone, with a wall of windows pulling in the light. The kitchen gathers everyone around a granite island, with a pantry nearby and a wet bar for entertaining, while the separate dining room is ready for long holiday dinners. The primary suite sits on the main level with its own bath and separate shower, and crown molding and built-ins carry through the home. All of this sits in charming and historic Chickamauga, an easy drive to Chattanooga. Walking distance to schools, library and downtown.
