Description

If you've been waiting for the perfect Southside location, this is it. Nestled on picturesque, tree-lined W 17th Street, this home sits just two blocks from East Main--placing you right in the heart of downtown Chattanooga's dining, culture, and events. From here, countless local favorites are just a short 2-10 minute walk away, making it effortless to enjoy the very best the city has to offer before returning home to one of Southside's most charming and beloved streets. W 17th Street is truly special. Thoughtfully planned with rows of trees that now form a beautiful mature canopy, the street offers a peaceful, storybook setting just minutes from downtown. Streetlights, benches, touches of cobblestone, and the nearby elementary school create a warm neighborhood feel where the sounds of everyday life drift through the air--an inviting balance of community and walkable city living. Inside, the home blends modern simplicity with striking, light-filled spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main living area sits a half story above street level and features dramatic picture windows that fill the space with natural light. At the center of the home, a sculptural staircase creates a striking architectural focal point and is crowned by a skylight that pours daylight through the interior. The home was designed by award-winning local architects Hefferlin and Kronenburg, whose work is known for thoughtfully planning each building around natural daylight and the land it inhabits. Their artful approach is beautifully reflected here in the home's airy interior, where clean lines and abundant light create a timeless, gallery-like feel. Just up a half level, the spacious kitchen and dining area overlook the living room below. The well-appointed kitchen includes an extra large walk-in pantry, while the dining area enjoys views through both the front and rear windows and offers flexible space for a sitting area or desk. A convenient powder room and thoughtfully placed interior windows add both functionality and architectural interest, allowing light to flow easily throughout the home. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each feature private full bathrooms and extra large walk-in closets, with the laundry conveniently located on this level. One bedroom opens to a private balcony overlooking the charming streetscape and offers beautiful sunset views toward Lookout Mountain. Downstairs, a mudroom connects to the covered two-car carport and includes two storage closets--perfect for bikes, outdoor gear, and additional storage. 131 W 17th sits in the very heart of Chattanooga's beloved Southside, where the city's best restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, and entertainment are just steps away. Move-in ready and full of charm, light, and character, this is a home that makes it easy to enjoy both quiet moments at home and the vibrant energy of downtown living.
