If you've been watching Chattanooga's market and wondering where the value went - it moved about 45 minutes north. Dayton, Tennessee is having a moment, and 111 Poppy Ave is one of the best examples of what this town is quietly offering right now. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom new construction sits on a quarter-acre lot inside Dayton city limits, putting you in the Dayton City Schools district and within easy reach of Lake Chickamauga - part of the Tennessee River system and one of the most sought-after recreational lakes in the Southeast. Boating, fishing, and waterfront dining are part of the lifestyle here, not a weekend road trip. At 1,618 square feet, the layout is efficient without feeling tight, and the 2-car garage adds the everyday practicality that matters. Inside, the open concept living area flows into a kitchen built to impress - hard-surface counters, a butcher block island that anchors the space beautifully, and a pantry that handles the overflow. The primary bathroom features a custom-designed tile shower that genuinely stands out in this price range. A dedicated mud room keeps life organized from the moment you walk in, and the back porch extends your living space into the outdoors. Being new construction means every window, appliance, and system is current generation - energy-efficient throughout, with no deferred maintenance and no surprises. A 1-year builder warranty covers workmanship and systems, giving you confidence from day one. Out front, contemporary hardscaping delivers serious curb appeal. Rhea County living, Chattanooga convenient, Lake Chickamauga close. This is Tennessee value at its best. Schedule your private showing today.
