About 4205 Seneca Ave

Tucked in the heart of trendy St. Elmo Neighborhood of Chattanooga, this fully-renovated Mid-Century Modern gem proves that true value isn't about square footage—it's about thoughtful design, quality materials, and meaningful spaces. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a rare blend of charm, efficiency, and craftsmanship, from the custom walnut accents, high-end lighting, and solid oak floors to the Andersen windows that frame breathtaking views of Lookout Mountain. The main kitchen is a showpiece of modern functionality and timeless style—featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and an open layout that connects seamlessly to the living space. The eat-in kitchen feels expansive, bright, and deeply connected to the heart of the home. The owner's suite is a peaceful retreat, set apart by soaring ceilings, huge picture windows, and stunning natural light. It includes an en-suite bath, and an adjoining flex room perfect for an office, studio, or nursery. The sense of airiness and calm makes it feel like a getaway within your own home. The walk-out basement adds further flexibility, with a full kitchen, den, large bedroom, and bath—ideal for guests, in-laws, or short-term rental income. And while the home is cozy and efficient, its design and flow make every room feel purposeful and uplifting. Located on a quiet, scenic road, surrounded by natural beauty, you're just steps from hiking trails, local eateries, and breweries—and minutes to the Riverwalk, downtown Chattanooga, and the upcoming stadium at The Bend.
