Perched atop a hill, this historic 1920 estate was once the McDowell Estate home, originally spanning 300 acres as the first residence built in the Eastdale neighborhood. Now set on the largest lot in the area-over half an acre-this property offers the potential for subdivision or ample space to enjoy. This home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and walk-in closets, with an oversized primary suite providing plenty of room to unwind. A formal dining room, a gas log fireplace, and a galley kitchen, a breakfast nook, and a pantry add to the home's charm. Expansive backyard views and a sweeping lawn create a peaceful retreat, while a screened porch can function as an additional living space. Rich in history and character, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chattanooga's past with endless possibilities for the future.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
