One of the last remaining premium lots in St. Elmo is now available, offering a rare opportunity to build in one of Chattanooga's most beloved historic neighborhoods. At .287 acres, this parcel is significantly larger than most lots in the area, which typically measure around .17 or .18 acres, giving you more space and flexibility for your dream home. Just three blocks from the newly renovated St. Elmo Park and Playground, and 2 blocks from the Virginia Ave Greenway. The location also allows you to stroll to local favorites like The Hot Chocolatier and the Woodshop Listening Room. Other neighborhood highlights, including nearby trailhead access, 1885 Grill, the Purple Daisy Cafe, Mr. T's Pizza and Ice Cream, and the Incline Railway, are just minutes away. The lot itself has already been cleared and surveyed, with corner pins clearly marked by pink flagging tape. A stately magnolia tree graces the south side of the property, while additional mature trees border Alabama Avenue, providing beauty and shade. Historically accurate rear access to the lot is available from Belmont Avenue between 53rd and 54th Streets, and a sewer main is located nearby in the unopened right of way. Measuring approximately 77 feet by 169 feet, the lot provides plenty of space to design and build the home you've envisioned, all while enjoying the charm, character, and walkability that make St. Elmo so special. Since clearing there has been a gaggle of geese frequently spotted on the lot. For showings, please park at the end of Belmont Avenue using 1698 Belmont Avenue for GPS directions, as there is no direct access from Alabama Avenue. There are 2 directional signs along Belmont.
