Perched atop a gentle hill with sweeping views of Apison's picturesque countryside, this beautifully updated four-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers the perfect balance of modern living and rural charm, set on a private one-and-a-half-acre lot. As you enter, you're greeted by a modern and elegant foyer, which is rich in detailed carpentry. The entry sets the tone for what to expect in the rest of the home - thoughtful updates and a sleek, modern feel. The primary level features an open concept layout with wonderful flow from the living room to the dining room to the kitchen, providing ample space for hosting friends or spending time with family. While there are many details to notice throughout, your eye can't help, but be pulled to the wood burning Ember Hearth fireplace, which was crafted right here in Chattanooga, and has been lovingly restored. Opposite the fireplace, is the heart of the home, the kitchen. The kitchen is a chef or baker's paradise with high-end, stainless-steel appliances, new granite countertops, updated cabinetry, all complimented by a moody, black stone backsplash to the ceiling. The primary level offers plenty of space to entertain, but also ample storage as well. A half-wall adjacent the stairs has been outfitted with custom cubbies, assisting in keeping your living space tidy. Venturing down the hall, you'll encounter a full bathroom that has been updated with new fixtures, granite countertop, gold accents, and finished with a sage green paint for a tranquil feeling. The hall bathroom is shared by the living space and two generously-sized guest bedrooms on this level. The spacious primary suite is located at the end of the hall. The primary bathroom features new fixtures, new granite countertop with a basin sink, LED backlit mirror with an anti-fog feature, and a walk-in shower with floor to ceiling tile and dual showerheads. Head down the stairs to the lower level and you will find a third guest bedroom with a sizable walk-in closet to accommodate your additional storage needs. The lower level also features a flex space, which can be utilized in any fashion based on your needs. This versatile space can serve as a home office, a game room, or even a home theater! The laundry/utility room and oversized garage are also located on this level with an exterior door providing easy access to the exterior. Step outside to enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding rural landscape on your back patio or front porch, which is especially stunning in the fall when the leaves burst into color. With one-and-a-half acres, there is plenty of room to stretch out, garden, play, or just rest, taking in the peaceful setting from your hilltop perch. This home is zoned for the highly sought-after Apison Elementary, East Hamilton Middle, and East Hamilton High School, offering both location and lifestyle in one beautiful package.
