Chattanooga premier luxury estate

One of Chattanooga's premier luxury estates that is perfectly situated on year-round water with 4.2+/- acres in the desirable Hampton on the Lake golfing community. This 14,362+/- sq.ft., 8 bedroom, 8.5 bath home is being offered for the very first time. Neighboring a community boat slip, the property enjoys a private boathouse with two water ski lifts. Copious wood decking leads to a gazebo on the water, and numerous outdoor living spaces surround the house. Well-manicured perennial beds dot the shaded front yard where a custom diminutive train runs. Superior craftsmanship and rich materials distinguish the four floors of the immaculate interior. Stained glass panels greet guests in the foyer, and a rounded wall with an arched niche segues to a sunken living room with a bronze statue fountain in one corner. Immense and comfortable, the rooms are embellished with deep crown moulding and elaborately carved woodwork, and most have windows that take in the lake view. Luxury amenities are everywhere, including crystal doorknobs and superfluous, custom storage. The main-floor designer kitchen has a double Subzero refrigerator, double wall ovens and granite countertops. Elegant custom cabinetry extends into the adjacent keeping room, and a room-sized pantry and devoted linen room facilitate events. Two bedroom suites are on the main floor, including one of two opulent masters, which has a private sunroom. A pair of grand staircases lead to the second floor where five bedrooms are arranged around a landing, one of them the second master. On the lower level is an enormous living room with a center fireplace, five storage rooms, full kitchen, gym, baths, high-end sauna, two screen porches and a hot tub room with access to the outdoor shower. Of the home's many offices, the two on this level are especially impressive, one having a spiral staircase to the master suite and the other with floor to ceiling book shelves and extensive mahogany paneling. The only level not accessible by elevator, the fourth floor is a circular conservatory at the top of the home's striking copper domed tower. While the main house has an attached 3-car garage, the adjacent two-bedroom, two-bath guest house boasts RV storage, 3 garage bays plus a workshop. Hampton on the lake is a gated subdivision with a community pool, pool house and lake access.
