Southern Sophistication. Those two words spring to mind when you arrive at 1712 Ashton Street. This Chattanooga gem from the Roaring 20's sits on three city lots or 1.52 acres and has been ushered into the 21st century all while maintaining its original charm and elegance. The plantation style front porch, with its beautiful columns has added a warm and inviting entry into the home. Through the front door, you are welcomed in by the original grand stair case and gleaming hardwood floors, all of which are original to the home except for the family room. To your left, you will find the large formal living room with a beautifully tiled and marbled fireplace. This will be the perfect place for family holiday gatherings. A sunroom with windows galore is located through the formal living room. This spot will be great for curling up with a good book and enjoying all of the natural light that streams through. To the right of the foyer you will find the formal dining room with enough room for a large dinner party and the flexibility to provide a romantic backdrop for an anniversary dinner for two. From the dining room, you will pass through the butler's pantry with plenty of cabinets for storage and a beverage refrigerator and intricate tile. The butler pantry will lead you to the heart of the home, the masterfully designed chef's kitchen. Custom cabinetry, marble countertops, a large island and original hardwoods are all found here, but the best feature of the kitchen is definitely through the large window. The view of the mountains and skyline are truly breathtaking. The kitchen is open to the family room with hardwoods and a coffered ceiling. This makes a wonderful space for hanging out with a bowl of popcorn and a good movie. The brand-new covered and open air back deck is accessible from the family room. Views, Views, and more Views! This space is spectacular and ready for all of your spring and summer entertaining.
