Property Description

Built in the 1840s, this extraordinary historic estate is deeply rooted in the rich heritage of Chickamauga. Once owned by Tom Lee, brother of prominent local figure Gordon Lee -- for whom Gordon Lee High School is named -- the property offers a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of local history.

Rich with timeless craftsmanship and authentic details, the home features original pine hardwood floors throughout most of the main level, soaring 10-foot ceilings, intricate moldings, substantial wood doors, and oversized original windows that fill the home with natural light and unmistakable Southern grandeur. Four original fireplaces further enhance the warmth, elegance, and character found throughout the residence. Inside of this 3,256 SF home, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, two full baths, a well-appointed kitchen, and an elegant formal dining room designed for classic Southern entertaining. Towering 10-foot ceilings, substantial original wood doors, intricate moldings, and oversized original windows flood the home with natural light while creating an unmistakable sense of grandeur and charm. Relax on the expansive front porch with a glass of sweet tea and enjoy peaceful afternoons, or retreat to the private screened porch overlooking the beautifully maintained grounds.
