The short version · by Homeful
Built in 1919 and thoroughly reimagined, this 4-bedroom Salemtown single-family home blends historic character with a chef's kitchen, spa-inspired primary suite, and a versatile detached building. The nearly 8,800-square-foot lot includes a private courtyard and mature landscaping, all just minutes from downtown Nashville.
Highlights
Originally built in 1919, this Salemtown home has been transformed into a light-filled, open retreat without losing the warmth of its age. Fifteen skylights and vaulted ceilings pour natural light across hardwood floors, while multi-panel sliding glass doors connect the interior to a private courtyard. The chef's kitchen anchors the home with a 60-inch gas range with griddle, dual dishwashers, an island with a waterfall-edge quartz countertop, a walk-in pantry, dedicated wine storage, and a pot filler faucet. An adjoining laundry room includes a wet bar. The primary suite offers a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower with rain showerhead, double vanity, and multiple skylights overhead for a spa-like feel.
Out back, the detached building provides 3-car garage space plus a full bath, ready to serve as a guest house, studio, home office, or fitness space. A covered pergola patio, paver courtyard, front porch with swing, and mature plantings round out a lot that feels both private and inviting.
No cold calls. The Homeful Concierge will reach out within one business day to match you with the right local agent.
