Property Description

Built between 1921 and 1926 by Ben Thomas, the first Coca-Cola bottler, this grand residence was aptly named ''Benwood,'' because only ''Ben would'' build such a magnificent house. It now offers a rare opportunity for a preservation-minded buyer ready to shine up this jewel of Lookout Mountain history.Constructed of enduring stone with a timeless slate roof, the home rests on 2.6 acres of tiered grounds overlooking the Tennessee Valley. A marble breezeway leads to breathtaking views, while covered and open-air balconies invite quiet moments above the treetops. Two driveways, a two-car garage, a pool, and the iconic clock tower complete the remarkable exterior presence.Inside, original craftsmanship remains beautifully intact. A dramatic spiral staircase with solid bronze railings anchors the home, complemented by mahogany doors, plaster walls, marble and wood floors, and three fireplaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the rooms with natural light, highlighting original crown molding enhanced in gold leaf by local artist Alan Shuptrine.The residence offers four bedrooms and five full baths, including the pool room, plus a main-level powder room. The primary suite features a private study, dedicated closet room, and two full baths in a true his and hers design. Spacious secondary bedrooms include large walk-in closets.
