Property Description
Built in 1917 by the Patten family, this all brick, 15,196 +/- square foot home is strategically positioned a 3.3 +/- acre lot on one of Riverview's highest points with stunning views on 3 sides of downtown Chattanooga, the Tennessee River, and our local mountains. The family once owned the entire hill, and the original entry to the estate still stands as evidenced by the columns at the base of Minnekahda Pl near the entrance to Bright School. Long since developed into a desirable Riverview neighborhood, Minnekahda Pl culminates at the property and home site at the top of the hill with circular driveways both in front of the home and in back. Mature landscaping, a breezeway to a covered patio with stunning views and the columned covered front porch add to the stately and curb appeal. Once a grand single-family home, the building has 2 stories over a partially finished basement and is currently configured into 7 units, 5 with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, and 2 with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. All of the units have spacious rooms, wonderful natural lighting, and varying degrees of updating. You will love all of the features reminiscent of this era, including the tall ceilings, mostly hardwood and tile floors, glass doorknobs, many antique light fixtures, crown moldings, 5 fireplaces, original decorative radiator cabinetry and old-world charm. Some of the units have their own laundry hook-ups, and there is a common laundry room in the basement, along with extra storage and a 2-bay garage. Additional parking is offered by a detached carport, and there is plenty of room for additional off-street parking for residents or when entertaining guests. The property offers a unique opportunity to own an estate sized home with acreage in a highly desirable locale. The property is currently held as a coop with the current owner holding 100% of the shares; however, the status can be changed if preferred. Whether you are looking to keep the current ownership and apartment structure, potentially convert the units to condos, or return the home to its original single-family glory, then this could be the property that you have been seeking. Located just minutes from schools, parks, hospitals, the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club, the shopping and restaurants of the North Shore and downtown Chattanooga, so please call for more information and to schedule your private showing. Pre-qualification is required. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer to verify any and all information they deem important.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
