Incredible opportunit­y in this Missionary Ridge home

- BY BRANDI DIXON

A spectacula­r home with extraordin­ary character is up for grabs Saturday, July 22 at 11 a.m. This home at 326 S. Crest Road is being auctioned by Henry B. Glascock Company and not only does it still maintain its classic, historic style, but it’s also been updated in recent years.

“This home was originally built more than 100 years ago by the Campbell family, the owners of the Moonpie Baking Company in Chattanoog­a,” Glascock shared. “At the time, Missionary Ridge was by far the most sought after address in the Chattanoog­a area, and it was built to take advantage of the eastern and western views.”

He added that the design and layout remain in tact, and the home itself has been beautifull­y maintained. The home sits on approximat­ely 1.12 acres and has spectacula­r Eastern and Western views of the city and surroundin­g areas. The outdoor living spaces are equally as lovely with a beautiful in-ground swimming pool, a patio area ideal for fires on nice summer nights and lovely landscapin­g across the grounds.

“The details are stunning, and it’s something buyers have to see to appreciate,” Glascock said, noting the multiple open house times for potential bidders to drop by.

Stunning wood beams grace the ceilings in multiple rooms of the home and large windows throughout allow for multiple opportunit­ies to take in the views across the ridge and the city. The master suite boasts a fireplace and sitting area and a master bath that offers not only a walkin shower but also a jetted tub. The kitchen is ideal for entertaini­ng or daily family living with open flow to the dining area and a center island.

A full finished basement offers more room for play, making an ideal media room or man cave, and storage is no problem at all with a three car garage bay and ample closet space throughout the home. Glascock also noted the desirabili­ty of the community now with its historic appeal and convenient location to both the interstate and downtown Chattanoog­a.

“The house has been on the market for a while and the seller is prepared to sell at any reasonable price,” Glascock shared. “It’s a great opportunit­y for sure.”

Bidders should bring a personal check and expect to pay a 10 percent down payment the night of the auction. Open houses are being held July 8, 9, 15, 16 and 19 from 1-3 p.m. each day. The auction will take place on site Saturday, July 22 at 11 a.m.
