This house is perfect for you, if…
- Your kids are mostly gone. Even though a daughter and newborn granddaughter lived with us for 18 months, four people really max the house out for long-term comfort. And the backyard isn’t conducive for football.
- You have a dog. Huck and Dora have lots of room to play and its completely safe for them. Chloe and Cassius, the dogs on either side of us, make great (quiet) neighbors to sniff through the fence.
- You like “outdoor living.” Can’t say this enough. The trees out back create a shaded canopy under which smaller trees like dogwoods grow. We’ve planted lots of perennials that will return every year. The knockout roses will be fully bushed-out next summer–and will be gorgeous. Butterflies and hummingbirds love us. We consider the sun porch one of our three living areas,
using it about equally with the living room and downstairs “media” room. And, our friends and visitors call our deck, “The Best Deck in Nashville.”

- You fly a lot. We’re five minutes from the airport…though NOT in the flight path (there’s more noise over on the rich side of town). When one of us flies, we drop them off on the way to work and vice versa.
- You’re comfortable in your skin. This was our realtor’s comment, and he’s right. If you’re looking for a Showcase of Homes type house, a place where
the house will impress your friends with all its modern features…this isn’t that kind of house. We’ve made the house fit our personality and our sensibilities, not the other way around.
