Property Description
1930 character. Completely rebuilt for modern living. Just minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Welcome to 12 N Seminole Drive, where a huge wraparound front porch introduces a home filled with history and thoughtfully renewed from the studs. This 4 Bedroom, 4.5 Bath showplace with 2,758-square-foot residence pairs restored original built-ins, the original fireplace, and stone sourced from nearby quarries and mountains with an extensive renovation that reaches far beyond cosmetic updates. Each of the four bedrooms features its own full en-suite bathroom, offering privacy and convenience for residents and overnight guests alike. Brand-new HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical, roof, and windows provide the foundation for the home's next chapter, while spray foam insulation beneath the floors and in the ceiling adds another layer of comfort. Original craftsmanship and comprehensive improvements come together throughout this distinctive residence. The custom kitchen combines thoughtful design with everyday functionality, featuring stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and a gas cooktop. Expansive quartz countertops provide plenty of prep space, while a central island creates a natural gathering spot. From a quiet dinner at home to hosting a houseful of guests, this kitchen gives you the space and equipment to cook and entertain with ease. The expansive wraparound porch offers room for morning coffee, relaxed evenings, and gathering with friends. Plenty of parking makes hosting easy and adds everyday convenience. A separate, approximately 529-square-foot ADU features a full kitchen and bathroom, creating an independent space for guests, extended family, or potential rental use. For parents purchasing a home for a college student, the four private bedroom suites and separate ADU present an appealing house-hacking possibility: provide a home for your student while renting additional space to help offset ownership costs and build equity through the college years. Buyers should verify permitted rental use, occupancy requirements, and projected income and expenses to assess whether rental income could cover carrying costs. With downtown Chattanooga's dining, entertainment, and riverfront just minutes away, you can enjoy the city and return home to a front porch worth slowing down for. Authentic character, brand-new major systems, four en-suite bedrooms, and the flexibility of a separate ADU make this a distinctive new chapter for a Chattanooga original.
