720 Mount Vernon Avenue

2 bedroom, 2 bath updated cottage with rare off-street parking and private backyard in the heart of North Chattanooga just minutes from schools, parks, shopping and restaurants of the North Shore and downtown Chattanooga. This updated home has many recent improvements, including a freshly painted exterior, a new deck overlooking a spacious backyard, new hot water heater, beautiful new flagstone stone steps to the back yard, a new HVAC system, new laundry area and a recently converted carport into a fully enclosed workshop with Heat/AC/LED lighting and plenty of space to store your tools. The home simply exudes curb appeal, and you will love the front screened in porch with its bead-board wood ceiling and ceiling fan providing an extra spot to relax or entertain. The interior is inviting and boasts wonderful natural lighting throughout, and you are sure to love the quality finishes, especially the hardwoods, tile, crown moldings, shutters, and blinds - just to name a few. Your tour begins with entry from the porch through the newly upgraded fiberglass door into the living room which has a brick fireplace (currently capped and plumbed with existing gas line but could be converted to wood burning) with ship lap accent wall and 4-way hidden outlet behind the tv mount. The mantle is custom made of 100-year old reclaimed barn wood. The living room is open to the dining room which has a decorative chandelier and arched doorway to the kitchen. The kitchen has a tile floor, granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless appliances including a newly upgraded dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The previously used basement access stairwell has been converted into a spacious pantry with shelving to accommodate your storage needs. The kitchen opens to a breakfast/laundry area that has additional cabinet storage and French doors to the rear deck where you will enjoy lovely year-round views of Lookout Mountain. The master bedroom is spacious, with the main closet in the master bath, and an additional built-in double door cabinet that provides additional clothing storage, as well. The master bath has a travertine tile floor and vanity, extra cabinetry and a spacious shower with tile and glass surround and a handheld and rain shower head. The overhead light doubles as a fan, nightlight, and Bluetooth speaker. The second bedroom has another closet with original cedar walls as well as use of the hall/guest bath which has a pedestal sink and tub/shower combo with subway tile. The unfinished basement is accessible from the lower patio and offers great seasonal storage, and it has a shower that was once used for cleanup after tending to the once used coal furnace that would now make a great dog wash station for your furry friends who can also enjoy the back yard while you relax by the fire pit.
