MOUNTAIN PRIVACY JUST 30 MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN CHATTANOOGA! Nestled on 4.5 wooded acres atop beautiful Mowbray Mountain, this spacious 3,964-square-foot farmhouse-style home offers an inviting blend of privacy, comfort, and thoughtful design. The charming semi-wraparound porch features a tongue-and-groove ceiling and generous seating space overlooking the tranquil wooded setting. Positioned toward the nearby creek, you can even hear the sound of rushing water after a good rain. Step inside to a spacious living room where a large picture window fills the room with natural light and overlooks the wooded backyard. From here, the home flows into its true showpiece - an impressive gourmet kitchen designed for cooking, gathering, and entertaining. An oversized quartz island creates a stunning centerpiece with generous workspace, casual seating, and additional cabinetry. Thoughtful details include deep drawers, floating shelves, a custom hood vent, apron-front/farmhouse sink, soft-close cabinetry, spice drawer, pull-out utensil cabinet, stainless steel appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen, a comfortable sitting area can also serve as a breakfast or casual dining space, while an arched opening leads to the spacious formal dining room. The main-level primary suite is generously proportioned with a charming nook ideal for a reading/sitting area, home office, nursery or could be converted into another closet. The luxurious primary bath features an oversized tiled walk-in shower and elegant double-bowl furniture-style vanity. A second spacious bedroom offers direct access to a full bath, which also opens to the adjoining mudroom for convenient access from the garage entrance. Upstairs offers exceptional versatility with two bedrooms, a full bath, dedicated office, separate flex area, climate-controlled storage, and an enormous bonus/family room with plenty of room for entertaining, recreation, hobbies, or additional living space. The oversized three-car garage features soaring ceilings, insulated and drywalled walls, and generous room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or projects. A separate butcher/canning room includes a floor drain and plumbing for a sink, with additional oversized loft storage above. Outside, a cleared trail winds through the wooded acreage toward a striking bluff at the rear, where minimal clearing could further open the view. Peaceful and private, this distinctive home offers the feeling of a secluded mountain retreat while remaining approximately 30 minutes from downtown Chattanooga and 20 minutes from Dunlap.
