About this home
Welcome to 862 Oak Street, a magnificent turn-of-the-century home in Chattanooga's historic Fort Wood neighborhood. Situated on a beautifully level lot among distinguished period homes, this extensively updated residence seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with modern family living.
This solid brick home with a stone foundation showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Original details have been lovingly preserved throughout, including six beautiful fireplaces with tiled hearths and detailed mantels that serve as stunning focal points in the living spaces and several bedrooms. Exquisite stained glass adorns the entry windows, side window, and charming dormer windows, casting beautiful natural light throughout the day. Functional pocket doors glide effortlessly to create versatile entertaining areas, offering both elegant flow for gatherings and intimate spaces for everyday family life. The thoughtful updates throughout ensure this well-appointed home meets the needs of modern living while honoring its rich historical character.
Entering the home through the front door it's easy to get lost on all of the little details - stained glass, picture railing, detailed woodwork, hearth tiling, tiger oak fireplace details, and original wood floors. What shouldn't be missed is the elegance of the entry - tall ceilings and a wide entry hall welcome you into the home with a formal living room on your left and a cozy family room on your right - both rooms centered around decorative fireplaces and pocket doors that can be opened and closed to change the feel of the space. The family room flows into the dining room through another set of pocket doors, which also connects to a breakfast room/butler's pantry off of the kitchen. The kitchen features checkered black and white ceramic tile floors and is well appointed for hosting functions or simply whipping up a delicious dinner on a school night. Going upstairs, the staircase doubles back by a detailed, backlit stained-glass window. A wide hallway at the top of the stairs welcomes you with five generously sized bedrooms located on this level. Three bedrooms feature decorative fireplaces and all of the bedrooms feature the original hardwood floors. The varying bedroom sizes, locations, and doorways offer an immense amount of flexibility in the floor plan whether that be for an at home office, nursery, or guest rooms. The rounded wall details of the hall create an elegant flow throughout the space and lead to hall bathroom with a period appropriate clawfoot tub.
The basement level offers the opportunity for expansion, should you need even more space. Currently this level is just home to the laundry, but offers a vast amount of storage on a poured concrete floor. This area could be finished into a separate studio apartment or in-law suite with its own private exterior entrance.
Experience the best of Chattanooga living with an exceptional walkability score. Stroll to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Erlanger Hospital, and enjoy easy access to downtown's vibrant dining, and entertainment offerings. Fort Wood provides a rare combination of peaceful, tree-lined streets and urban convenience. This is more than a home - it's a piece of Chattanooga history, ready for the newest chapter in its already extensive novel.
