From the listing brokerage
Built in 2021 and owned by one family, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home delivers the peace of mind of newer construction in the heart of historic St. Elmo. The open-concept main level features dark engineered hardwood floors, a gray shaker kitchen with granite countertops, center island, and a professional-grade range hood that anchors the space. The primary suite is on the main level with a double vanity, walk-in shower, and direct access to the rear patio, bordered by a newly installed cedar privacy fence. Upstairs, a generous landing at the top of the stairs offers the perfect dedicated space for a home office. Move-in ready. Just two blocks to the Virginia Avenue Greenway trailhead on 55th Street -- 0.7 miles to Guild-Hardy Trail, 1.4 miles to Virginia Avenue Park -- walk or bike straight into some of St. Elmo's best outdoor access. The Tennessee Riverwalk's 13-mile paved greenway also connects St. Elmo directly to downtown Chattanooga, the new Erlanger Park baseball stadium for the Chattanooga Lookouts, and the broader Riverpark corridor. A short stroll puts you at BlueCross Healthy Place at St. Elmo, Mr. T's Pizza & Ice Cream, Little Coyote, and The Hot Chocolatier, with the Incline Railway and St. Elmo's walkable restaurant corridor just beyond. An assumable VA loan at 3.125% is also available for a qualifying, VA-eligible buyer -- contact the listing agent for a personalized comparison.

We will start with a Zoom walkthrough — screen shared, the full listing detail open, recent comparable sales beside it, and an honest list of what we would want inspected before you write. If it still looks right after that, we tour it in person. Buyer representation is often little or no cost to you; how it is paid is settled per offer, in writing, and we put exactly where you stand in writing before you commit to anything.
