Description
Once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Ft. Oglethorpe history! Owned by the same family for 60 years, 7 Barnhardt Circle is now available as an historic renovation opportunity. Originally built as an Army officer's quarters, the home is one of only 19 structures remaining around Barnhardt Circle and the original Polo Field which was the heart of a US Army calvary post when it was completed between 1902 and 1904. One of only 4 homes built for a single family, these homes do not become available very often and represent a unique opportunity for the right buyer. Close to shopping, restaurants and schools and only 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, and once a magnificent showplace, the home would be open for Candlelight Christmas Tours and for the 6th Calvary Reunions held during the summer during the 1980's. The home has many original features such as the hardwood floors, 3 fireplaces, pocket doors, antique light fixtures, 2 solid marble vanities and transoms over doorways. Your tour of the main level begins with entry from the covered front porch to an inviting foyer with one of two sets of stairs. The formal living room adjoins the oversized dining room via a pocket door, but the room uses could easily be reversed. The dining room has a built-in hutch one of the 3 fireplaces. The kitchen is at the rear of the house and has a door to the rear covered porch, access to the laundry room and the 2nd staircase. There is a den that was utilized as a bedroom on this level with a separate door to the exterior and the use of the full hall bath that was converted from a butler's pantry. The second level has 4 additional bedrooms and 2 baths. While you could easily just restore the first two levels, if more space is desired, there is a walk-up attic which would be perfect for a playroom and an additional bedroom, as well as a full basement that could be fished out for a truly remarkable residence.
