About This Home
As of June 2025Welcome to historic Fort Wood! This beautiful 1888 mansion was one of the first built in Chattanooga's very first luxury neighborhood. Sitting regally behind one of the original granite walls of Fort Wood, 849 Vine Street offers a commanding view of the neighborhood from a huge wrap around porch. These historic Victorians rarely come up for sale! Fort Wood is just one block from UTC and walkable to downtown and the Chattanooga Greenway. 10 enormous rooms. 12 foot ceilings, original Oak and Pine floors. Updated plumbing and wiring. Newly encapsulated basement. French doors in the kitchen open onto your very own private and gated back yard offering secure off-street parking. The house is surrounded by towering 100 year old Oaks and Magnolias. You will find yourself steeped in history as you sip your afternoon tea on the breezy veranda! There is no HOA in Fort Wood, but there is a vibrant Neighborhood Association that hosts monthly socials, neighborhood events and seasonal gatherings. Book your very own private showing today and enjoy a step back in history with all of the modern conveniences of a modern home!
