1709 Read Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37408 (MLS # 1529282)

Welcome to 1709 Read Avenue, a classic Southern home with timeless curb appeal and a gracious wraparound front porch that invites slow mornings and easy evenings. Currently undergoing an extensive, full-scale renovation by the highly respected Mockingbird Build, this three bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom residence has been taken down to the studs and is being thoughtfully rebuilt with all new systems, finishes, and design throughout. The reimagined main level will feature a spacious living area with room for a full dining table, flowing seamlessly into an open kitchen anchored by a generous island. The kitchen will offer direct access to the rear patio, creating an effortless connection for outdoor dining and entertaining. The primary suite is privately situated on the main level and also opens to the back patio, offering a quiet retreat at the end of the day. A well-placed laundry room and powder room add everyday convenience, and a small bonus space just off the stairway provides flexibility for a study nook or creative corner. Upstairs, an open landing will serve beautifully as a home office or reading lounge. Two additional bedrooms, each with their own en suite bathrooms, provide comfort and privacy for family or guests. With construction actively underway, this is a rare opportunity to collaborate with the builder and select finishes that reflect your personal style. Detailed building plans are available for review. Located in the heart of Chattanooga's vibrant Southside, this home is within walking distance to some of the city's most celebrated restaurants, local shops, and entertainment. Jefferson Park and Playground are just moments away, and you are centrally positioned near Downtown, St. Elmo, and Lookout Mountain. Historic charm meets modern living in one of Chattanooga's most dynamic neighborhoods. To ensure safety and avoid disrupting crews, on-site visits are requested later in the afternoon or evening. Local lenders are preferred.
