If you're searching for Palm Paradiso in Chattanooga's historic North Shore neighborhood, just look for the pink door -- or the pink mailbox. This completely renovated and reimagined midcentury home is as breathtaking as it is unique. Featuring sleek modern amenities that complement the soul of designers past, this all-white abode didn't always look this way. This unassuming house was just another echo of an era gone by in a neighborhood of old growth trees and gently sloped lawns. What started as a single-story ranch was brilliantly transposed into a split-story masterpiece of whimsy and imagination. Walls tumbled and a roof lifted. The soul never left. An interior wall boldly announces its presence in blue and pink palm frond wallpaper. Stark, all-white walls juxtapose custom entry tilework from Spain. Walnut cabinets add modern allure to the open kitchen. Every detail meticulously harkens to the days when this old house was new -- and made new again. A latticed front porch completes the midcentury figure.
