About this home
First Time Ever Offered to the Market | Tennessee's Only Frank Lloyd Wright Residence | A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the only residence in Tennessee designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Perched atop Chattanooga's historic Missionary Ridge, the iconic Shavin House is a masterwork of Wright's celebrated Usonian philosophy, seamlessly blending architecture, nature, and timeless design. Commissioned in 1949 by newlyweds Seamour and Gerte Shavin, completed in 1952, and lovingly preserved by the original family for more than 75 years. This architectural treasure was thoughtfully designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, capturing breathtaking views of the Tennessee River, Lookout Mountain, and the surrounding landscape. Wright's vision emphasized simplicity, functionality, and harmony with nature, creating a home that remains as relevant and inspiring today as when it was first conceived. Constructed primarily of native Tennessee Crab Orchard stone and richly textured Louisiana cypress, the residence showcases many of Wright's most admired architectural elements. The way the natural wood, stone, and glass come together in perfect harmony, all anchored by the home's massive stone foundation, is truly captivating. Equally mesmerizing is the light and its ever-changing character, shifting gracefully throughout the day and evolving with the seasons. Expansive walls of glass, mitered corner windows, clerestory lighting, custom wood screens, built-in furnishings, and a dramatic cantilevered carport roof all contribute to a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. There is an extraordinary sense of openness, with the sky serving as the central element, creating a feeling of boundless expansion. Throughout the home, the principles of compression and release are thoughtfully woven into the design. At the heart of the home, a magnificent stone fireplace anchors the living space, while open, flowing interiors create a sense of warmth, light, and effortless elegance. The Shavin House stands as one of the finest examples of Usonian architecture in the country, a rare expression of Wright's commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and organic design. Every detail, from the hidden entrance and custom furnishings to the surrounding native gardens and pond designed specifically for the residence, reflects a unified architectural vision that has endured for generations. The home is a living, ever changing place of beauty that reflects the life around it. Offered to the market for the very first time, this extraordinary property presents far more than a home, it offers stewardship of a nationally significant architectural landmark. A true collector's piece and an irreplaceable part of Tennessee history, the Shavin House provides a remarkable opportunity for the next owner to preserve, celebrate, and continue the legacy of one of the world's most influential architects while making their own mark on this timeless masterpiece....
