Every so often, a home so charming comes along that it truly stops you in your tracks. This turn-of-the-century 1904 Historic Eastlake Victorian is just that. From the moment you set eyes on this historic beauty, the craftsmanship is impossible to miss—from the soaring front gable and decorative fish-scale shingles to intricate original millwork, tall paired windows, narrow clapboard siding and gracious covered front porch. Perched above the street behind hand-stacked stone walls and a dramatic stone approach, this home is overflowing with the architectural character that makes East Nashville so special. Once you step through the original front door, the home will truly take your breath away. From the formal foyer to the grand living room with soaring 12-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, stunning moldings, fireplaces in nearly every room and massive windows flooding the home with natural light, there is something magical around every corner. Situated on a rare, nearly double 75-foot-wide lot, the property offers an incredible sense of space—and we haven't even gotten to the backyard. A true sanctuary, you can hear the gravel beneath your feet as you wander through the lush garden, surrounded by mature landscaping and hand-stacked stone walls. Tucked away is an incredible hand-built, conditioned studio—the ultimate creative retreat. Whether you're a writer, musician, painter or simply looking for a private escape, this spectacular space feels a world away while sitting just steps from your back door. All of this just moments from East Nashville's best restaurants, Shelby park and locally owned shops. This one is truly going to steal your heart.
