About this house:


Here are the things we love about the house:  It's got so much storage space that your stuff is never in your living space, which makes it feel uncluttered and easy to clean.  It's private, unlike most houses in N Chattanooga. It's got great light, especially in the evening. You look out above the next street over, so it has a nice "treehouse" feel.  The yard is really easy to care for, even though it's on a hill, because it only requires attention about once a month (It takes me about an hour and a half, once a month, to keep it looking nice).  It's got great charm, and great colors.
