Good development land is hard to find! Don't miss this pair of 50' x 205' lots being sold with 3 other 50' lots along Taylor Street, a sleepy tree lined Thorofare in East Chattanooga. Located near the nexus of Amnicola Hwy and Hwy 153, the property is roughly equidistant to Hamilton Place and Downtown. With a total offering of 250' feet, this property could be rezoned for a higher density which could yield 6-7 contiguous lots. The lots slope uphill, so some dirt work will be required, but that should be outweighed by the efficiencies and appraisal benefits of having multiple contiguous lots to build out. This lot will likely have a wintertime view of the river and Northshore beyond. You won't want to miss this chance, so call today to schedule a private showing.
