Welcome home to this testament of craftsmanship. This Dutch Colonial is an original North Chattanooga beauty. Step back in time in a masterpiece that has been home to several generations of the same family. This house is an amazing timepiece, replete with beveled glass mirrors, crystal door knobs and original brass hardware, silver chandeliers, twenty+ silver and bronze sconces, and hardwood floors that have never seen carpet. From the massive stone and brick front porch, step through the original front door with transom windows into the elegant living room, complete with a wood burning fireplace, eleven foot ceilings, Dentil molding, and original oak hardwood floors (that traverse the entire home). The fireplace is flanked by deep, built-in and glass-encased bookshelves with original working hardware. Flow from the living room through the large, original French doors into the dining room. The homeowner fondly remembers using the maid's bell that is wired beneath the floor under the dining room table to request service at family dinners. From the dining room, there is a pass through to the butler's pantry and eat-in space. Butler's pantry contains floor to ceiling built-ins and a table and benches that were specially made for the space. These will remain with the home! The kitchen of this home still retains the floor to backsplash height subway tile and heart of pine floors- this was the maid's territory after all. A quick makeover of the cabinets, countertop, and sink is all that's needed here. There is a large pantry and access to the basement from the arched hallway to hub of the home. From here, you can swing back through the living room, through another arched hallway to the office/den/optional master on main and bathroom, or upstairs to the bedrooms. The bedroom/office on the main offers a lot of versatility- use it however it suites your lifestyle at any given time in your life . It does contain one of the three working fireplaces, a very deep closet, and is right next door to the original bathroom. These fixtures you couldn't replace at Restoration Hardware. Bathroom contains a quaint sink with built-in medicine cabinet, tub, and the ever-trendy subway tile with zero grout lines. The entire first floor boasts soaring eleven foot ceilings. Upstairs bathroom is very similar, except there is floor to ceiling built-ins for extra storage. Travel up the staircase to a landing to write home about. The built-ins here- words can't do them justice; you'll just have to come check them out for yourself. From the landing there is access to all 3 extra bedrooms, the optional master bedroom, bathroom, and cedar closet. Nine foot ceilings run the entire second floor. The third working fireplace is in the upstairs master bedroom and there is an adorable dressing closet that adjoins this room. This home sits on three lots and is accessed from both Sharon Circle and Dallas Rd, and has a driveway that connects the two. Step outside to play ball on the level yard. Enjoy sitting in the shade of the Wisteria on the concrete pergola. Watch the fish and tadpoles in the concrete-formed watergarden. Embrace all the gardening opportunities the grounds provide. Don't miss this one. Solid, sturdy, and well-loved it has been and will be for a very long time.
