1506 Riverview Road

Step into the historic beauty of 1506 Riverview Road, an extraordinary Tudor Revival home nestled in the picturesque and highly sought-after Riverview neighborhood. Built in 1930 by Judge Leslie Darr, a prominent figure in Chattanooga's civil rights movement, this home took two years to complete and reflects a rare blend of architectural grandeur and meticulous craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, the striking white brick façade and terracotta herringbone accents, steeply pitched roof, and stately arched front door immediately capture your attention, and evoke a sense of timeless beauty and sophistication. This historic gem was built with brick over hollow tile, showcasing an era of construction that speaks to durability and unmatched detail. Inside, you'll discover a world of character and charm, from the barrel-vaulted foyer to the oversized, on-site-built staircase, custom matte black iron railing, and arched doorways. The lattice casement window near the front entrance, provides a hint of old-world allure, while the handsome solid oak beams and refinished wood floors add warmth and authenticity to the space. The open-concept living and dining area enjoys an abundance of natural light pouring through expansive windows, including a charming, recessed reading nook—perfect for curling up with a favorite book or cup of tea. The living room's original carved sandstone fireplace mantle (which has been converted to gas logs) anchors the space, creating a cozy ambiance for gatherings. A sunken sunroom, complete with a wet bar and ice maker, provides an ideal space for family activities, while the adjoining screened porch offers tranquil views of the surrounding landscape. Arched-top French doors lead into a spectacular kitchen, where 11-foot ceilings, custom shaker-style cabinetry, creamy marble countertops, a large island, and top-of-the-line appliances elevate this culinary space.
