Brainerd: Chattanooga's Underappreciated Neighborhoods

How cute are these houses? Very. I know.

One place that I don't often get calls about is the Brainerd area. In all the hubbub surrounding North Chattanooga and more historic areas like Highland Park or St. Elmo, Brainerd often gets overlooked.

But I'm on a one woman crusade to change that.

Because there are also cottages and bungalows like this:

These are not your cookie cutter subdivision kinds of places. No sirree, Bob.

While they may not actually qualify as historic -most were built in the '30's and '40's - they certainly don't qualify as modern (mid-century or otherwise).

I could eat 'em up with a spoon. And I haven't even mentioned the lovely old homes of Glendon Place...

Tudors & Dutch Colonials & Craftsman bungalows, oh my!

Squeeeeee!

Admission: Yes, I'm the biggest house geek you'll ever hope to meet.

Julie, these are my favorite types of houses, although they look nothing like the one I live in!  I WANT ONE!

This is one of my very favorite eras also. These homes have influenced much of the style being used today also.

Julie--These are adorable homes! Just seeing them makes me think of a family sitting down to chicken dinner with apple pie for dessert!

These look like many of the homes in the older established neighborhoods of Sacramento where I work. They have style, character and architectural appeal. You are so lucky to be selling homes like this. Don't you have the best job in the whole wide world?
