About This Home
Tucked gracefully into the heart of Riverview, Oak Hill Estate is a rare historic property showcasing classic elegance and distinguished Neo-Classical Revival architecture. Named for the magnificent oak that anchors the grounds, the home overlooks the golf course and is surrounded by beautifully curated landscaping, offering exceptional privacy just steps from the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club within one of Chattanooga's most prestigious addresses. Set on nearly 3 +/- acres and offering approximately 8,700 square feet, the property includes a 5 bedroom, 6 full and 2 half bath main residence, along with a carriage house featuring an upper-level apartment. Completely reimagined into a one-of-a-kind luxury estate, Oak Hill remains one of Riverview's original grand homes, steeped in history and enduring elegance. Thoughtfully refined to honor its original craftsmanship, the home seamlessly blends historic character with modern luxury. Grand entryways, soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, multiple fireplaces, and sun-filled interiors create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and inviting. Exceptional architectural detailing and custom cabinetry showcase a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. Designed for both intimate living and large-scale entertaining, the kitchen opens effortlessly into elegant gathering spaces throughout the home. Premium culinary appointments include a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and integrated wine, beverage, and ice systems. Waterworks fixtures are featured throughout, while formal living and dining spaces evoke timeless charm with thoughtfully preserved architectural detail. The estate also offers richly appointed entertaining spaces, multiple hospitality bars, a private study, and a cinema-style theater and poker lounge crafted for elevated entertaining and relaxed evenings alike. Expansive outdoor living areas and a private pickleball court further enhance the property's resort-inspired atmosphere. Positioned within the residence, the primary suite offers a sanctuary-like retreat featuring dual dressing spaces and separate Calacatta marble baths designed with spa-level sophistication. Each additional bedroom includes its own private bath, offering comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. Outside, the estate unfolds into beautifully landscaped grounds with manicured gardens and sweeping views that create a serene setting just moments from downtown Chattanooga. Original to the estate, three large rainwater retention tanks remain on the property -- a rare feature that reflects the home's historic design and enduring legacy.
