The Scenic City is full of charm, including homes that you might not expect to see in Tennessee — and we’re not talking about the Flying Saucer home.
Spanish villa | This vintage home is full of unique details — from the brick arches to the refinished kitchen with the backsplash tile.
English countryside | Built in 1972 + tucked away in Hixson, the custom designed English Tudor exterior immediately takes you out of the States.
That 70s Show | Everything about this 2,268-sqft home is reminiscent of the type of place you wish you had in the 1970s — all that’s missing is a conversation pit (but the pool will do).
