Historic 1915 2BR · No Pet Fees · Central Location

Welcome to The Willow Suite — a two-bedroom apartment tucked into the rear of a lovingly restored 1915 home in Ridgedale, one of Chattanooga’s most historic neighborhoods. You’ll have your own private entrance, and downtown is just 10 minutes away.

Here’s our why: we’re an architect and a landscape architect, and we could have bought in a tidy suburb. We chose Ridgedale instead — because we love old, walkable, urban neighborhoods, and we’d rather help one revitalize than watch from a cookie-cutter cul-de-sac. We bought this 1915 house, brought it back to life room by room, and lived in it ourselves. The result is a home crafted by two people who care about how spaces feel, in a neighborhood we’re genuinely invested in.

We think that comes through in the details. We hope you feel it.

One honest note before you book: this is a 110-year-old house, and part of its charm is that it hasn’t been flattened into a generic rental. The floors creak. The windows can be drafty in winter. Heating and cooling run through a shared central system with window units in the bedrooms — comfortable, but not hotel-precise. If you love character, you’ll feel right at home. If you need everything perfectly uniform, this may not be your place.
