Inside the home
Newly refinished original hardwood floors run through the main level. Three bedrooms and the primary bath sit on one side of the house, with the living and formal dining rooms on the other, plus a gas fireplace.
A swinging door through the butler's pantry opens into the renovated kitchen. It has a large cherry butcher block island, new lower cabinets, soapstone countertops, a black granite sink, and high end appliances with a vented range hood. The kitchen opens to a sunroom with a half bath.
Outdoor space and the lot
Out back there is a large screened porch, a newer elevated paver patio, flagstone paths, a fire pit, and mature trees, including a Sugar Maple and large Hickory trees.
The walkout lower level could work as a studio or a separate suite, and the listing mentions owner occupied short term rental use. There is also about 600 square feet of attic space that could be remodeled into more living space.

Living in East Nashville
East Nashville sits just across the Cumberland River from downtown Nashville. It is made up of several older neighborhoods, including Lockeland Springs, Edgefield, Inglewood, and Eastwood, with Five Points as a long time gathering spot for local shops and restaurants. Shelby Park and the Shelby Bottoms Greenway run along the river, with trails, open fields, and a golf course. Homes range from historic cottages and bungalows to new construction. I do not steer anyone to a street, a school, or a block. You give me your criteria, and I show you every home that matches.
