Property details

About 1209 Mississippi Ave

Brimming with historic character and timeless appeal, this delightful 1928 bungalow is a true North Chattanooga gem! A welcoming front porch invites you to slow down and soak in the charm of this sought-after neighborhood. Inside, abundant windows flood the home with natural light, accentuating the beauty of the original hardwood floors and showcasing the craftsmanship of the era. The living room centers around a striking stone fireplace—a rare and distinctive feature that adds warmth and character. Spacious enough for both comfortable seating and a desk area, it's perfect for those who work from home. The dining area, bathed in natural light from two large windows, seamlessly connects to a tastefully updated kitchen that blends vintage charm with modern convenience. Featuring quartz countertops, open shelving, and updated appliances, this thoughtfully designed space is both stylish and functional. A practical drop zone just inside the back door keeps daily essentials—backpacks, shoes, and coats—neatly organized. Nearby, a half bath offers privacy from the main living areas. The home's two main-level bedrooms, along with a full bath and laundry, are tucked away from the primary living spaces. Hardwood floors and abundant natural light continue throughout, while the updated full bath complements the home's neutral and welcoming color palette. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a covered back porch leading to a level backyard—ideal for gardening, entertaining, or simply unwinding. A private driveway offers added convenience and off-street parking. Additionally, a spacious basement/cellar reflects the home's historic roots, providing ample storage or space for gardening equipment. Situated within walking distance of North Chattanooga's beloved local spots—including IL Primo, Riverview Park, Tremont Tavern, Rosecomb Bar, and Southern Squeeze—as well as award-winning magnet schools like Normal Park Elementary and Normal Park Upper School, this home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern livability.
