About 1000 E Martin Luther King Boulevard
Tucked inside one of downtown Chattanooga's most architecturally distinctive buildings, this remarkable residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Originally built as a school, the property was thoughtfully restored and transformed into luxury condominiums in 2007 by local architect Thomas Johnson. The result is a home where historic character and modern comfort exist side by side, creating a living space that feels both distinctive and inviting. From the moment you arrive through the private gated and fully fenced parking area, the energy of the city softens and the building's striking architectural details begin to unfold. This unit includes two designated parking spaces, including one covered space under the carport and one additional uncovered parking space.
Inside the home, soaring ceilings that rise more than twelve feet create a dramatic sense of openness, while oversized loft style windows fill the space with beautiful natural light throughout the day. Original woodwork and impressive masonry elements reflect the craftsmanship of the building's past, giving the home a warmth and character that is difficult to replicate.
The open living, dining, and kitchen areas flow together comfortably, offering a layout that feels spacious and easy to live in. Travertine tile floors add both elegance and durability, while heated floors provide a subtle touch of comfort during cooler months. The kitchen features a large island with storage and seating, creating a natural gathering place for meals, conversation, and everyday living. There is also ample room for a full dining table, making it easy to host friends or enjoy relaxed evenings at home.
The two generously sized bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on opposite sides of the home, offering privacy and flexibility. Each bedroom includes a walk in closet, while the bathrooms feature a combination of a tub and shower in one and a walk in shower in the other. Head up to the shared second-floor balcony to enjoy some fresh air, or head down to the community grilling area located near the parking area for a relaxed outdoor gathering space. Within the fenced grounds, residents also enjoy access to green space ideal for pets, as well as a playground tucked just behind the building.
Located within walking distance of UTC, local restaurants, nightlife, and the greenway walking and biking trails, this home places you right in the heart of Chattanooga. From here, the Tennessee Aquarium, Chattanooga Zoo, and countless downtown destinations are only minutes away, making it easy to experience everything the city has to offer.
