ABOUT THIS HOME
Less than a mile from downtown Nashville, this unique and meticulously maintained Brown County home has been lovingly owned by the same family since it was built. Originally designed as a 3-BR home across two levels, thoughtful modifications created two separate living spaces, offering exceptional flexibility. Currently configured with a kitchen on each level, the home is ideal for hosting guests or generating income through long-term rental or short-term homestay. It can also be easily converted back to its original 3-BR layout if desired. Inside, the home features a striking double-sided fireplace shared between the living room and the primary bedroom, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the main level. Attractive high-quality laminate plank flooring runs through the home. Efficient mini-split heat pumps provide comfortable heating and cooling on both levels. One of the home's most distinctive architectural features is the charming cupola, adding character while providing stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. Outdoors, a covered deck on the main level and covered patio below overlook the shared stocked lake, creating peaceful spaces for relaxing with morning coffee, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of Brown County. The property also offers exceptional workspace and storage options. A detached two-car garage includes extra storage, a dedicated office area, and a craft room ideal for hobbies, a workshop, or creative studio space. The barn/outbuilding with electricity features an enclosed sitting room that could easily serve as a workshop or studio. With its unique architectural charm, flexible living spaces, beautiful outdoor areas, and versatile outbuildings, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the Brown County lifestyle just minutes from downtown Nashville's shops, dining, and entertainment.
