About This Home

Solid 1920s home in Historic Fortwood with a proven track record as an income-producing property. Location is the headline here: just blocks from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga and Erlanger Hospital, this neighborhood consistently draws tenants and holds its value.
The home offers 1,697 square feet with 3 bedrooms, a comfortable living area, and a front sunroom that adds flexible space. There's tons of potential here for a buyer ready to make it their own or looking for a great rental home. The master bedroom is spacious with a walk-in closet and private bath, and the laundry room is roomy with backyard access.
In a neighborhood where off-street parking is hard to come by, this property delivers -- with dedicated parking and actual yard space, it stands out from most of the options nearby.
The fundamentals are solid. Whether you're looking for a primary residence with room to grow or an investment property in a high-demand location, this one is worth a look.
