Welcome to 1001 Smith Spring Street, one of Signal Mountain's best kept secrets. Nestled on 1.8 acres and just minutes from the heart of Signal Mountain, this historic 5 bedroom, 3 bath charmer combines modern living with an idyllic farm setting. The home is the former general store that operated in the 1930's. It's been thoughtfully and beautifully renovated, all with materials repurposed from the original building and from historic properties in the Chattanooga area. The heart pine floors were sourced from historic homes near Missionary Ridge, the tongue and groove paneling is from the original general store, and the antique doors and hardware were salvaged from various older homes in the Chattanooga area. Timeless character is blended with modern comforts in this awe inspiring home. Step onto the inviting covered front porch and take in the serene views of the beautiful front yard. Whether you're sipping morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, this comfortable outdoor space offers the perfect vantage point to enjoy mature trees, a large garden and berry patch, a chicken coop and a fenced pasture. Step inside to be greeted with warm and gorgeous woodwork that reflects its rich history and is found throughout the home on the floors, walls, ceilings, and cabinetry. The home is spacious, light-filled, and functional, perfect for entertaining. The expansive great room, with its vaulted ceilings and wood burning stove, can accommodate even the largest of gatherings, but is cozy and quaint enough for smaller get togethers. The pretty pine walls serve as the perfect backdrop for your prized artwork, and the recessed lighting allows illumination for any task. Open to the great room is the hub of the home, the kitchen. With beautiful custom kitchen cabinets that were crafted from original ceiling planks, modern stainless appliances, and a large granite covered work island, it's a chef's dream. Off the kitchen is the light filled and comfortable sunroom which has worked as overflow from gatherings or as a comfortable retreat to curl up with a good book. Two bedrooms and a full bath (which boasts an "owl foot" claw foot tub) round out the main floor. Upstairs you'll be greeted with the same gorgeous woodwork and three more bedrooms. The primary bedroom is so pretty with its soaring ceilings and inviting ensuite bathroom. In addition to the other two bedrooms, the full bath on this level conveniently houses the washer and dryer. The large outdoor entry basement of the home provides tons of storage. This fabulous home also offers a 600 square foot apartment located on top of the detached two car garage. It's been constructed beautifully and in keeping with the main house. It offers one bedroom, one bath, a kitchen, and a living/dining room. Perfect for overnight guests or potential income producing! Come experience this beautiful home...maybe it's the perfect fit for you!
