4712 Abraham StreetChattanooga, TN 37410Price: $249,700

Finding a brand-new DETACHED home in Chattanooga under $250,000 is hard enough. Finding one where construction is just beginning, you still have time to make your own selections, and eligible buyers may qualify for up to $21,000 in down payment assistance*? That's an opportunity worth paying attention to. Priced at $249,700, this brand-new 2-bedroom home in Somerville Cottages offers something increasingly difficult to find: the privacy and independence of a detached home, the confidence of new construction, and an attainable price point just minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Even better, construction is just getting started. Buy early enough and you'll still have the opportunity to select available colors, finishes and personal touches along the way. Rather than moving into someone else's version of a home, you can watch yours come together from the ground up and make it feel like your own before you ever receive the keys. At this price point, buyers are often asked to compromise. An older home may come with an aging roof, HVAC system, outdated finishes and expensive projects waiting around the corner. A quick renovation can leave questions about what was actually updated. Here, everything is new -- from the systems behind the walls to the finishes you see every day -- with the added peace of mind of a builder warranty. Inside, the thoughtful design makes every square foot count. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows and abundant natural light create a bright, open atmosphere, while the open-concept main level provides an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features quartz countertops, modern cabinetry and stylish finishes that give the home a look and feel well beyond what you might expect at this price. Luxury vinyl plank flooring provides durability and easy maintenance, while two comfortable bedrooms and a beautifully finished full bathroom create a private retreat upstairs.
