Historic St. Elmo character, thoughtfully restored for the way you want to live today.
5109 Tennessee Avenue is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath home in the heart of one of Chattanooga’s most iconic neighborhoods, pairing the warmth and character of a historic residence with the craftsmanship, systems, and livability of a carefully considered renovation.
Thoughtfully restored by Hope of Restoration, who were recently recognized with Preserve Chattanooga’s 2025 Residential Preservation Award for its Alabama Avenue project, the home reflects a preservation-minded approach from the details you can see to the work behind the walls.
Original oak and pine hardwoods have been meticulously restored, with new hardwoods added where needed. The custom kitchen features premium Café appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and a charming Dutch-style door, while three fully renovated bathrooms add a level of flexibility that’s especially valuable in a historic home. A new roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC bring added confidence for the years ahead.
And storage, which is a rarity in St. Elmo, is a real standout here, with generous closets plus a large unfinished basement/garage offering room for a workshop, studio, gear, and more.
Outside, the prominent corner lot features restored and freshly painted siding completed to historic district specifications, mature fig trees, a large covered front porch with an attached deck, ample off-street parking, and potential for a future ADU, subject to zoning and approvals.
Then there’s the location. Walk or bike to St. Elmo favorites, coffee shops, trails, and The Woodshop, with Lookout Mountain rising just beyond the neighborhood. Downtown Chattanooga, the Southside, and the evolving South Broad corridor are all within easy reach.
Historic. Walkable. Connected to both the outdoors and the city. This is St. Elmo living, and a restoration that feels worthy of the neighborhood.
