Rare opportunity to own not just one, but TWO homes in the heart of Chattanooga's highly desirable St. Elmo community. This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow beautifully blends timeless character with modern updates. Inside, you'll find an open-concept layout filled with natural light, where the spacious living area flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining space—perfect for entertaining or relaxed evenings at home. A bonus front room offers flexible use as a home office, reading nook, or even a third bedroom. The thoughtful floor plan and two full bathrooms provide both comfort and versatility. The roof was replaced in 2024. But what truly sets this property apart is the second dwelling at the rear of the lot (approx 900 sf). The address for the second dwelling is 5404 Shauff Place. With some updates, it could serve as a guest house, rental unit, or multi-generational living option. There's already a tenant in place, offering immediate income potential. Just steps from local dining, shops, and all the charm St. Elmo is known for, this is a rare opportunity to invest in a vibrant, historic neighborhood—with TWO HOMES on one lot. Whether you're a homeowner or an investor, opportunities like this don't come around often! Schedule your tour today.
