About This Home

As of March 2024

Welcome home to the Benson House! Nestled in the rapidly growing community of East Ridge, this 3 bedroom, 3 full bathroom house is situated atop your very own 2 acres with winter views! Step inside and enjoy the warmth of original, mid century features blended with modern updates. Notice the bay windows that let in ample natural light and those winter views in the front living room. Past the dining room is a french sliding glass door that leads to a concrete porch with stunning views and plenty of space for hosting evening parties or quiet dinners! The large and spacious kitchen, which features an island, opens up to a cozy second family room with a wood burning fireplace. From the second family room, you can slip out onto the backyard and take in your morning coffee or tea on your private back patio. Down the hall you will find the primary bedroom with an en suite 3 piece bathroom and walk-in the closet! Across the hall you will find the two additional bedrooms. This two level, mid mod rancher has space to spare with 2,585 sq ft of finished space. Located on the basement level is a finished, flexible space with a dedicated kitchenette and separate entrance. The unfinished portion of the basement could be perfect for a workshop, gym, and storage combined! The best of both worlds awaits with an abundance of potential. Let's not forget the proximity to Camp Jordan, countless entertainment options, and all the growth coming to the East Ridge area. If you're looking for that sweet spot close to downtown Chattanooga and Hamilton Place with land, look no further! Schedule your private showing today!
