Step into the historic beauty of 1506 Riverview Road, an extraordinary Tudor Revival home nestled in the picturesque and highly sought-after Riverview neighborhood. Built in 1930 by Judge Leslie Darr, a prominent figure in Chattanooga's civil rights movement, this home took two years to complete and... reflects a rare blend of architectural grandeur and meticulous craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, the striking white brick façade and terracotta herringbone accents, steeply pitched roof, and stately arched front door immediately capture your attention, and evoke a sense of timeless beauty and sophistication. This historic gem was built with brick over hollow tile, showcasing an era of construction that speaks to durability and unmatched detail. Inside, you'll discover a world of character and charm, from the barrel-vaulted foyer to the oversized, on-site-built staircase, custom matte black iron railing, and arched doorways. The lattice casement window near the front entrance, provides a hint of old-world allure, while the handsome solid oak beams and refinished wood floors add warmth and authenticity to the space. The open-concept living and dining area enjoys an abundance of natural light pouring through expansive windows, including a charming, recessed reading nook—perfect for curling up with a favorite book or cup of tea. The living room's original carved sandstone fireplace mantle (which has been converted to gas logs) anchors the space, creating a cozy ambiance for gatherings. A sunken sunroom, complete with a wet bar and ice maker, provides an ideal space for family activities, while the adjoining screened porch offers tranquil views of the surrounding landscape. Arched-top French doors lead into a spectacular kitchen, where 11-foot ceilings, custom shaker-style cabinetry, creamy marble countertops, a large island, and top-of-the-line appliances elevate this culinary space. The butler's pantry, featuring quartz countertops and extra storage, makes entertaining a breeze. The adjacent laundry/mudroom features a stylish new brick floor, custom cabinetry, and thoughtful details such as coat hooks and built-in storage cubbies, each fitted with coordinating pull-out baskets for a seamless blend of function and design.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms exude comfort and style. The primary bedroom is bathed in light, with treetop views, custom millwork walk-in closet, and a chic en suite bathroom with quartz countertops, marble tile floors, a luxurious walk-in double shower, and a large soaking tub beneath a generous window. The additional bedrooms are equally spacious, offering access to a newly updated shared bathroom with elegant tile work and a walk-in shower. The third-floor attic provides a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a playroom, office, or additional living space.
The outdoor living spaces are just as inviting. A recently added sunken screened-in patio is perfect for year-round enjoyment, featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter and wall mounts for flat-screen TVs -- an ideal spot for game day. The grassy backyard, enclosed by a new metal fence, provides plenty of space for pets to play and enjoy the outdoors. The current owners have also made significant upgrades to the home's infrastructure, including all-new electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, and a tankless water heater with energy-saving technology. Additionally, a Sonos sound system runs throughout the home, ensuring seamless connectivity in every room, from the kitchen and laundry room to the sunroom, master bedroom, and bathroom.
At a price of $2,400,000, the seller will remove the existing garage and construct a new two-car detached garage with a guest suite above. Riverview's charm extends beyond the property, offering proximity to award-winning Normal Park schools, local shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities, including the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club, Riverview Park, and the Tennessee River. This is not just a home; it's a lifestyle steeped in history, luxury, and convenience. Schedule your showing today! Local lenders are preferred for a more seamless process.
