Don't miss your chance to live the urban dream that city dwellers crave in Chattanooga's vibrant Southside, nestled in the heart of Jefferson Heights! This stunning 3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathroom main home, paired with a fully furnished 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom garage apartment (588 sq ft, included in total square footage), offers a lifestyle that's tough to beat. Imagine strolling or biking to Chattanooga's hottest spots—OddStory Brewing, Velo Coffee, Southside Pizza, Main Street Meats, Kai Bistro, or the inspiring Sculpture Fields—all just steps away. Craving adventure? You're minutes from world-class trails and outdoor recreation that make Chattanooga a haven for nature lovers. The main home dazzles with natural light pouring through high ceilings and abundant windows, featuring hardwood floors, a fresh quartz kitchen countertop, a spacious main floor, double covered front porches, and a fenced yard perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The two-car garage offers convenient covered access to the main home and separate entry to the turnkey studio apartment above. This fully furnished apartment, complete with washer/dryer hookups and carefully curated décor, is ideal for extra income—think travel nurses, UTC families, or short-term rentals for out-of-town guests. It's also ideal for hosting family or friends in style or serving as a private in-law suite. Living in Jefferson Heights means more than just a home; it's a front-row seat to the Southside's electric energy. Enjoy a neighborhood park with a pavilion, playground, and community garden, plus effortless access to Main Street's trendy eateries, boutique shops, the UTC campus, and a quick drive to Erlanger and Memorial Hospitals or Chattanooga Airport. This is your shot at a walkable, adventure-filled lifestyle with the bonus of passive income potential—don't let it slip away! Oh! Did we mention this is the perfect spot to enjoy all the Mainx24 festivities?!
