Description

A rare piece of Donelson history, this 1930s storybook cottage makes an unforgettable first impression with its limestone exterior, steeply pitched gables, dormer windows, welcoming red door and covered porch. Set on approximately .63 acres in historic Stanford Estates, once known as Millionaire Row, the home offers 2,739 square feet, five bedrooms and two and a half baths, along with the warmth, craftsmanship and individuality that are nearly impossible to recreate today.

Inside, original newly refinished hardwood floors, wavy-glass windows, vintage doors, substantial millwork and an impressive fireplace preserve the home’s architectural character. The formal living and dining rooms feel gracious yet comfortable, while the updated kitchen brings modern function with quartz countertops, a gas range, subway tile backsplash, abundant cabinetry, pull-out pantry storage and a coffee bar. The adjoining family room creates an easy everyday gathering space without competing with the home’s more formal rooms.

The flexible floor plan offers generous bedrooms, natural light and room for a home office, studio, guest space or multigenerational living. Charming nooks, built-ins and beautiful woodwork give the upper level personality, while the full 1,687 sf unfinished basement provides exceptional storage, workshop space, a storm room and future possibilities. A detached garage adds even more room for hobbies, equipment or projects.

Outside, mature trees, garden paths, multiple porches and a private landscaped yard create a peaceful setting for gardening, entertaining or simply slowing down at home. Just minutes from downtown Nashville, BNA, I-40, restaurants, parks and everyday conveniences, this is a property that offers both character and connection. Homes with this much history, architectural presence, usable space and soul rarely come to market. This one is truly special. Located in the Stanford Montessori Geographic Priority Zone.
