The guest apartment offers a den-kitchen combination, a bedroom with a walk-in closet and full bath (780 extra square feet not included in total). The surrounding 2.3 acres provides scenery to be explored and enjoyed. The head of the Guild Trail, with access to 40+ miles of trails, is a short walk away. Why don’t you visit today? Welcome home to a unique property with character, functionality and privacy in a convenient location just a few minutes from downtown Chattanooga and Interstate 24. Included in the package are the main home, the guest apartment over a two-car detached garage and approximately 2.3 acres which includes three lots that were combined into one large parcel providing complete privacy on three sides. The surrounding land is filled with flowers, trees, stairs, paths, secluded clearings, trails, boulders, rock formations and more. At the top of Guild Trail (where it meets Ochs Highway just a couple of hundred feet from the property) is a "trail head" for the Guild-Hardy Trail. Just up Ochs Highway is the trail head for the Glen Falls Trail providing another hiking option less than a mile away.

As you ascend 45th Street the road ends into this property with a driveway on the side of the property that takes you to the entrance by the kitchen and the garage. Get out of your car and check out the front deck that overlooks the yard with a bit of a view; it's a great place to relax and enjoy nature just about any time of the day. There is a front door at the top of the path and stairs from the lower parking area, but the side door at the driveway enters directly into the updated eat-in kitchen with new granite counters and glass-tile backsplash, new ceramic tile floor, stainless appliances, new flat-top range, and a new farmhouse kitchen sink with a new faucet. The kitchen also has new designer light fixtures and a huge eat-in area with plenty of windows that bring in natural light.

From the kitchen enter the large living room with resurfaced hardwood floors that continue throughout most of the house. Also check out the old fireplace with a brick surround and wood mantle. Please note that the fireplace does not work because a previous renovation cut off the chimney. Natural light pours in from the windows that run the length of the living room. From the front, door you can step down a few steps onto a patio with an additional place to relax or entertain outside and enjoy a view from the front of the home.

As you enter the living room from the kitchen, look to the right and see the separate dining room with plenty of space to expand your holiday table into the living room and a door to the back of the house. Beyond the living room are two bedrooms, a full bath with a new glass vanity, bead board on the lower half of the walls, a new mirror, a new light fixture and a new water-saving dual flush commode. A gigantic laundry room is also located on the main level with a separate entrance on the opposite side of the house from the kitchen. The laundry room has a built-in ironing board and a massive closet that has another closet inside the closet.

From the dining room go upstairs into the den/study that provides two distinct areas for extra space where you could have a den, television lounge, an office, an exercise room, game room or anything else that fits your lifestyle. There is also a door to the outside upper back yard off this room. On either side of the den are bedrooms; one bedroom has an ensuite bath while the other bedroom is larger and looks out over the driveway.

Separate from the main building is the detached and oversized two-car garage with new garage doors. The garage is plenty big for two vehicles and a comprehensive workshop as well. Above the garage is the guest apartment with a living room and kitchen combination. The living room has wood floors while a sleek wood bar separates it from the kitchen. The kitchen has new wood counters, stainless appliances, a double sink and attractive pendant lights over the bar. Adjacent to the living room and kitchen is a bedroom with a walk-in closet, new carpet and a full bath with ceramic tile. The tub has a tile surround with an accent strip. The garage and guest apartment have been completely renovated from top to bottom including new windows, new insulation and new plumbing. The guest apartment is 780 square feet which is not counted in the MLS-reported square footage. It is a bonus space that will give you some great options.

Most of the main house is built over a 1920s era stone foundation. The kitchen area was added on years ago and has a different foundation. The property is all electric with a central heat and air system in the main house that is approximately five years old and a shingle roof that was replaced in 2009. There are two new hot water heaters, one for the main home and one for the guest apartment. The heat and air for the guest apartment is provided by a new "window unit" that is installed in the wall.

According to Outdoor Chattanooga, "The Guild-Hardy Trail runs on an old Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain Broad Guage Railroad bed that ascends the forested slopes on the east side of Lookout Mountain. The trail begins on Ochs Highway and climbs into Lookout Mountain Battlefield, where it switches back and continues by Craven's House to end at Scenic Highway. The trail passes under the Lookout Mountain Incline, by Ruby Falls and numerous markers and structures from the Civil War. More adventurous hikers may leave the Guild-Hardy Trail at Craven's Terrace and access Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park's 40+ mile trail system. The trail system is particularly beautiful in the winter, when seasonal streams form ice falls on the mountain's rocky bluffs, and in the spring, when mountain laurel, azaleas, and rhododendron are in bloom." The Guild-Hardy Trail's head is close by and is a unique feature to this home.

Plan to spend some time exploring both buildings and the surrounding area; even take a walk through history on the Guild-Hardy Trail. We promise that you won't be disappointed. We look forward to helping make 4415 Guild Trail your home!
