Built in 1917 by the esteemed Patten family, this magnificent all-brick estate spans approximately 15,196 square feet and is gracefully perched atop one of Riverview's highest points. Situated on a picturesque 3.3-acre lot, the property boasts breathtaking panoramic views of downtown Chattanooga, the Tennessee River, and the surrounding mountains. Once the crown jewel of a vast family estate, the home retains its historic grandeur, with the original entry still marked by stately columns at the base of Minnekahda Place near Bright School. The tree-lined drive leads to the hilltop residence, where circular driveways in both the front and rear offer an elegant approach. Lush, mature landscaping enhances the property's timeless appeal, while a breezeway to a covered patio and a grand columned front porch provide the perfect setting to enjoy the spectacular surroundings. Inside, this architectural masterpiece reflects the opulence of its era, with soaring ceilings, intricate crown moldings, antique light fixtures, and five fireplaces that create an atmosphere of warmth and refinement. The home's expansive rooms are bathed in natural light, highlighting the exquisite hardwood and tile floors, original glass doorknobs, and charming decorative radiator cabinetry. With its multi-story design, partially finished basement, and generous living spaces, this estate offers exceptional versatility. While currently configured to accommodate multiple residences, the possibilities are endless—restore the home to its original single-family splendor, create an extraordinary private compound, or explore a luxury conversion. Additional features include a two-bay garage, a detached carport, ample storage, abundant off-street parking, ensuring both convenience and privacy. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Chattanooga's history, this grand estate is ideally located just minutes from renowned schools, parks, hospitals, the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club, and vibrant shopping nearby
