## Description

### Agent Description
Discover the charm of historic St. Elmo at 5720 Saint Elmo Avenue, a classic 1920 all-brick Craftsman ideally located just minutes from downtown Chattanooga and the outdoor beauty of Lookout Mountain. This well-cared-for home blends historic character with comfortable living in one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods. Inside, the home showcases beautiful original heart pine flooring that adds warmth and authenticity throughout the main living spaces. The layout offers welcoming living and dining areas filled with natural light, along with two covered porches that create the perfect setting for relaxing mornings or gathering with friends in the evenings. The main floor features two bedrooms connected by a traditional Jack-and-Jill bathroom, providing both privacy and convenience. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room with its own full bath offers flexible use as a third bedroom, guest suite, home office, or hobby space. Situated on a large, level lot, the outdoor space provides plenty of room for gardening, play, or future possibilities. The property may also accommodate the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or detached guest space, subject to buyer verification of zoning and building requirements--an appealing option for multi-generational living, rental potential, or a private workspace. Living here means being close to everything that makes St. Elmo special. Enjoy nearby restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and local boutiques, along with quick access to trails, parks, and the scenic beauty surrounding Lookout Mountain. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Chattanooga's history while enjoying the vibrant lifestyle of the St. Elmo community. Schedule your showing and experience it for yourself.
