2306 East 4th Street

A 1940s cottage, completely reimagined with exceptional owner craftsmanship. Set on a 0.19-acre lot in established Glenwood, near downtown Chattanooga, this three-bedroom, two-bath home offers 1,535 square feet of thoughtfully renewed living space, natural-gas heat, and convenient off-street parking. The owner took the home to the studs and rebuilt it inside and out, preserving its vintage soul while adding warm, one-of-a-kind details that give it a distinctive sense of place. Hardwood floors, an open living, dining, and kitchen layout, exposed wood beams, sliding barn doors, and striking handcrafted arched wood doors set the tone. The kitchen is both functional and memorable, with dark custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a farmhouse-style sink, open wood shelving, subway tile, solid-surface counters, built-in storage, and an impressive live-edge island with seating. The primary retreat includes a generous walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath with a double vanity and dramatic tiled walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, an updated secondary bath, dedicated laundry space, and thoughtfully selected lighting and finishes complete the interior. The outdoor spaces are every bit as special. The owner has cultivated the grounds into a garden setting that becomes a true showpiece in full bloom, with colorful seasonal plantings, stone-edged beds, and a brick approach that complement the home's cottage character. Behind the home, the privacy-fenced, tree-lined backyard offers brick patios and winding walkways, a decorative footbridge across a stone-lined landscape feature, a fire-pit area, storage shed, and room to relax, garden, and gather. A covered front porch and concrete driveway round out the setting. From its blooming gardens and inviting curb appeal to its custom woodwork and beautifully reimagined interior, this is a rare blend of 1940s character, modern comfort, and heartfelt owner craftsmanship.
