Looking for a home with privacy, charm, and easy access to Downtown Chattanooga? Welcome to 561 W Shadowlawn Dr. This one-level home with a finished daylight basement sits on a rare .58 acre wooded lot just outside the Missionary Ridge neighborhood. It feels peaceful and tucked away, yet you are only minutes from Downtown, Southside, Highland Park, and favorite local spots like Giardino Restaurant and Sugar's Ribs. Enjoy convenient access to outdoor spaces including Overlook Park, Bragg Reservation (a National Military Park), and the newly renovated East Lake Park. Built in 1955, this home has the warm, inviting character people love. The terra cotta tile front porch leads you inside to original hardwood floors, detailed crown molding, and a large picture window in the living room that frames tree-lined views with Lookout Mountain peeking through in the distance. Fresh white paint and natural light make the living and dining areas feel bright and open. The kitchen features extended counter space, a brick backsplash, and tile flooring, maintaining its original charm. The main level includes two spacious bedrooms with continued hardwood floors and plentiful windows. The full bathroom on this level features beadboard paneling and a shower and tub combo with tile surround. The character of the original door hardware and a built-in hallway phone nook are the small details that tell the home's story. The daylight finished basement provides additional living space with room for a second living area, home office, or entertainment space, all with abundant natural light and LVP flooring. The third bedroom includes built-in bookshelves, and the second full bathroom showcases original mosaic tile. A large laundry and storage area adds everyday convenience. From the lower level, step onto a walk-out concrete terrace overlooking the private, wooded backyard. This outdoor area is ideal for gardening, hosting, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The shaded lot feels like a retreat, something rarely found this close to the city. Recent updates include new windows and fresh interior paint throughout. For parking, there is a one-car carport and two driveways, including a circular front drive that provides easy access and ample parking. Missionary Ridge is a historic 500-foot ridge that frames the eastern edge of Downtown Chattanooga. The location offers scenic surroundings and a neighborhood feel while being less than 10 minutes to Downtown and Southside, about 7 minutes to Highland Park, and a short drive to Memorial, Parkridge, and Erlanger hospitals. Hamilton Place Mall, offering extensive shopping and dining, is less than 20 minutes away. Located near the meeting of S Crest Dr and Westside Dr, this home provides a rare blend of privacy, historic charm, and convenience. Book your showing to experience Chattanooga living!
