The 2016 house on Forest Avenue was built by Waldrep Construction and carries an elevator serving all three of its levels, an in-law suite on the lower level and three garage bays. It headed five reported closings across the metro that combined for $7.68 million in the week ending September 6, 2026.
Four of the week’s closings were recorded in Chattanooga, with the fifth on the mountain at Jasper Highlands in Jasper. Build years run from 1920 to 2019, and the group takes in a downtown townhouse, a hillside property in Stuart Heights and a renovated Dallas Heights house. Keller Williams Realty and SquareOne Realty, LLC each held the listing side of two of this week’s reported sales.
No. 1 — $2,250,000 · 405 Forest Ave, Chattanooga, Tennessee
The Forest Avenue house sits in the heart of North Chattanooga, and its great room and covered balcony are oriented to take in the views. Waldrep Construction completed the all-brick, five-bedroom, five-bath residence in 2016, with a reported 5,275 square feet arranged over three levels. It closed on August 31, 2026 for $2.25 million.
A two-story foyer opens through metal-and-glass double doors, with the formal dining room to one side and a walk-in pantry on the way to a kitchen that pairs a center island and granite countertops with a five-burner gas cooktop and convection double wall ovens. It opens to the great room, which holds a gas fireplace and two sets of French doors to the balcony. The main-level primary suite has balcony access, a walk-in closet and an arched doorway to a freestanding tub and separate shower; a guest bedroom shares the floor, and three more bedrooms, one with a private bath, sit upstairs with a bonus room.
The lower level was built out for extended guests, with an open room, built-in shelving, a refreshment center and a full bath with a tiled shower. Moldings, tall ceilings and doors, plantation shutters, casement windows and heated bathroom floors run through the house, the front yard is landscaped and fenced, and the rear parking pad is gated. The North Shore’s shops and restaurants are within walking distance, with schools, hospitals and downtown Chattanooga close by. The property previously changed hands for $300,000 in 2014, before the current residence was completed in 2016.

No. 4 — $1,300,000 · 470 Lookout View Dr, Jasper, Tennessee
Behind the gates of Jasper Highlands, 470 Lookout View Dr crowns a hilltop with sweeping views across the Tennessee Valley. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath contemporary was built in 2019 of HardiPlank, stone and stucco on a 0.78-acre lot and is reported at 3,400 square feet. The August 31, 2026 closing came at $1.3 million, its full asking price; the house went under contract 20 days after the current listing date.
Coffered ceilings and engineered hardwood floors frame an open main level anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, with walls of windows pulling the valley into nearly every room.

The primary suite holds a windowed sitting area over the valley and a bath with a freestanding soaking tub, a tiled walk-in shower and dual vanities, while a second ensuite bedroom occupies the opposite wing.
The walk-out lower level opens to a rec room with a bar and beverage refrigeration, two more bedrooms and a full bath, with direct access to the covered patio. Boulder-terraced gardens fall down the hillside to a stone terrace where Adirondack chairs circle a fire pit, and the house adds a screened porch and covered porches on both levels. Four garage spaces include an attached two-car garage and a detached 1,100-square-foot garage suited to a workshop. Jasper Highlands residents have a pool, fitness center, pickleball, playgrounds and on-mountain dining, with I-24 access minutes away. The property previously changed hands for $1,200,000 in 2024.
