There’s a decidedly collected quality to this East Nashville home, where the expected builder finishes have given way to something far more personal. Lighting, hardware and finishes have been reconsidered throughout, while limewash, wallpaper and a particularly good use of color bring warmth and dimension to the interiors. Even the hardworking spaces get their moment, including a charming designer mudroom that makes coming and going considerably better looking. Upstairs, the primary suite is a standout. Softly textured limewash wraps the room, natural light comes in from multiple directions, and the layered tray ceiling gives the space beautiful scale. The adjoining bath continues the quieter palette with marble tile and a generous glass shower. Just beyond, the bonus room presents one of the home’s best opportunities. Currently arranged as a music studio, office and flex space, it has the proportions to become an exceptional media room, creative studio or second living space, with a built-in wet bar and its own powder bath already in place. The backyard may be the biggest surprise of all. Exceptionally generous for East Nashville, it’s fully fenced and framed by mature trees and established landscaping, with enough lawn to actually use. The covered deck has been designed as an extension of the interiors, with a vaulted ceiling, privacy slats, speakers, a ceiling fan and room for a substantial seating arrangement around the fire. Below, there’s space to garden, gather under the trees, play, entertain or simply enjoy a backyard that feels increasingly difficult to find this close to the city. Add a true two-car garage, and this is newer construction with the practical pieces buyers want and the personality they so often have to add themselves.
