1615 Minnekahda Road

Description

This thoughtfully renovated Riverview proper sits on a full acre and boasts two driveways - one on Sunset (front entry for guests) and a second on Minnekahda (owner's entry). The current owners selected this property for its prime location, expansive yard, and the charm of a well-maintained 1940s home. Envisioning holiday gatherings and guest entertainment, they embarked on an extensive renovation soon after purchase.Traditional in design, the double-door entry welcomes guests into a formal foyer. To the right, a cozy living room with a fireplace opens to a three-sided sunroom (or office) through French doors. Opposite the foyer, a spacious dining area connects to the expansive kitchen. Off the kitchen, there is a separate den or family room and a large laundry room. A half bath and media room are also conveniently located on the main level. A mudroom connects the main house to a newly built 3-car garage and a covered patio/courtyard area. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and three well-appointed full baths (the original fourth bedroom was thoughtfully repurposed into a primary bath and closet). Above the garage is a two-bedroom guest apartment with a full bath, kitchen, and living areaideal for out-of-town guests or older children seeking more privacy. The three-bay garage, complete with high ceiling, half bath, and separate HVAC, offers flexibility for any desired use. The highlight of this home is the expansive kitchenthe true heart of this home. It features two large work islands, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, floating shelves, Thermador appliances, wine fridge, refrigerator drawers, and walk-in pantry. The kitchen seamlessly extends to an outdoor living space, with an expansive area off the kitchen or a covered courtyard featuring a custom StruXure pergola with remote-controlled louvres for all-season enjoyment. This home is virtually maintenance-free, constructed with brick and Everlast composite siding. An original detached two-car garage off the Minnekahda driveway provides additional storage and could easily be converted into a pool house or ADU. With two driveways, ample guest parking, and newly installed privacy landscaping, this home offers an unparalleled setting for the discerning buyer. Located just minutes from CGCC, Riverview shops and restaurants, and only seven minutes from downtown Chattanooga, this property blends classic elegance with modern living. Owner/agent.
