117 Morningside Dr Chattanooga, TN 37404

Here is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chattanooga history. 117 Morningside Drive was the first house built in the first subdivision south of the Mason-Dixie line (on the National Historic Registry). Amidst the timeless charm of Ferger Place sits this large and picturesque Victorian classic. Unlike the cookie cutter homes of the modern era, this 1910 treasure inspires every guest walking through the front door. This home emanates a serene yet cheerful feeling due to the original leaded glass, transoms, and forty windows throughout the home. This abundance of natural light brilliantly dances off of the two turn of the century crystal chandeliers that hang like crowns over the den and dining room. The rich hardwood floors and custom built-ins will even captivate the most cynical of carpenters. The two fireplaces on the main level offer the perfect marriage of warmth and luxury with the first fireplace welcoming guests in the family room and the second beautifully positioned at the head of the dining room. The large kitchen is partially renovated and boasts generous space conducive to virtually any design. Atop the wide and handsome staircase are four bedrooms and a fully renovated bathroom. The private balcony off of the large master bedroom provides a tranquil setting as you sit on the bench swing enjoying views of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. An added feature of this property is a large grass private backyard and patio with a six-foot privacy fence. Just like it was over 100 years ago, Ferger Place is a chic and sophisticated place to live where very few are fortunate enough to call home. This is your opportunity...don't miss it.
