Perched above the main channel of the Tennessee River on a 1.26-acre double lot, this stately all-brick estate delivers sweeping, unobstructed water views from nearly every room -- and from the upper deck, the panorama stretches endlessly in both directions, making every sunrise and sunset a private event. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with hand-hewn wood beams anchor the open living and dining room, where a remote-controlled gas fireplace, rich hardwood floors, and a gallery of oversized windows frame the river like a living painting. The kitchen impresses with warm custom wood cabinetry, dark granite countertops, a center island, wall oven, downdraft cooktop, and a sun-drenched breakfast nook with a water view that makes even a quiet morning feel exceptional. The main-level primary suite opens directly onto the deck and features a fully reimagined spa bath with radiant heated floors, a large walk-in tile shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in closet. A second bedroom, full bath, and generous laundry room complete the main floor. Downstairs, the fully finished walkout level functions as a second home -- a spacious living room with a second remote-controlled gas fireplace, a full kitchen, and three additional bedrooms, with its own entrance accessible from the private lower driveway. Both fireplaces are served by a dedicated propane tank. The screened porch flows to the pool deck and sparkling in-ground pool, all framed by the river beyond. A sweeping circular drive, 2-car attached garage, and over 5,000 sq ft of living space make this one of the most compelling riverfront offerings in the Chattanooga area.
