About this property
Historic charm in St. Elmo 3BR/3BA situated on over an acre at base of Lookout
Step back in time into the historical Sissons House at the base of Lookout Mountain. This unique home built in 1884 sits in the most desirable location in St. Elmo surrounded by an acre of gorgeous landscaped grounds. Savor the fresh air off Lookout Mountain from the serene perch of the home's covered, wrap-around wooden front porch or sip your morning coffee in the more private garden patio. Recently updated with new decor and furnishings. Experience a true Chattanooga charmer. We are limited to eight guests.
Sissons House, conveniently located in the historic district of St. Elmo, is within walking distance of numerous restaurants and cafes, as well as the many activities on Lookout Mountain, including historical Point Park, Civil War battle sites, and scenic hiking trails. Downtown Chattanooga, with the Tennessee Aquarium, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Bluff View Art District, Warehouse Row, Chattanooga Riverwalk, and more, is an easy, 10-minute drive away. It doesn't take long for visitors to discover why Chattanooga is affectionately called the "Scenic City."
Adventure enthusiasts and thrill seekers alike will find options aplenty in the Chattanooga area, whether rock climbing Cumberland Plateau and its Tennessee Wall, bouldering at Stone Fort, hang gliding with the Lookout Mountain Flight Park, or white water rafting on the nearby Ocoee River.
Within walking distance of Sissons House, downtown St. Elmo offers a number of eateries and bars, including The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe, St. Elmo Deli & Grill, Sawasdee Thai Restaurant, Mojo Burrito, Clumpies Ice Cream Company, Plus Coffee, Mr. T's Pizza & Ice Cream, The Tap House and 1885 Grill.

About the host
Hosted by Karri Novak-Luzuriaga
I have a passion for travel, home renovation and decor. I love old historic homes and bringing them back to life with modern amenities while preserving their architectural heritage and charm. I have been married to my college sweetheart for 24 years. He shares my adoration of old homes. Together we have three children, our oldest graduating from high school this year, 2020. Hopefully, college will start in the Fall so he can pursue his dreams.
Why they chose this property
It was love at first sight with this home. It's a very special property with so much history. The previous owner lived there for over 35 years. The original owners from the late 1800's resided in the home for 55 years and were prominent members of the Chattanooga community.
What makes this property unique
Historic charm, vaulted ceilings, tastefully updated with modern amenities. The grounds are stunning in the Springtime. You are surrounded by over an acre of privacy and mature trees. You will be woken up in the morning by the birds singing.
