An Inviting Escape
Step back in time into the historical and distinguished Sissons House. Built in 1884, nearly two decades after the end of the Civil War, Mr. and Mrs. Sisson's summer home exemplifies craftsmanship rarely seen in modern properties. The airy, 11-foot ceilings, intricate trims and moldings, and two-sided, intra-room fireplaces are just a few of the residence's memorable original architectural flourishes. This unique home, among the first built in suburban Chattanooga, was erected a year before the founding of St. Elmo and sits in one of the most desirable locations in the area. The sumptuous parlor, with its plush seating, makes the ideal setting for enjoying special family moments, afternoon tea, or evening cocktails. The decor in the three spacious bedrooms reflects the storied history of the area, accented with tasteful, modern touches for restful rejuvenation. The light-filled, cafe-style kitchen provides a comfortable space to create culinary delights that can be served on the adjacent formal dining room's generous table. Surrounding this Tennessee pearl is more than an acre of gorgeous, landscaped grounds, replete with mature oaks, magnolias, Japanese maples, redbuds, dogwoods and fruit trees. Savor the fresh air off Lookout Mountain from the serene perch of the home's covered, wrap-around wooden front porch or sip your morning coffee in the more private garden patio, shaded by a canopy of delicate crepe myrtle. Come experience a true Chattanooga charmer.
We can't wait to see you.
