Your Property:
Built in 1938, this historic Nashville home has been converted into two separate apartments, with this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath unit occupying the main floor.
Full of original character and timeless charm, the home offers a comfortable and practical stay in a prime location near the heart of Music City.
Each bedroom features a queen-size bed, with an additional twin bed in one of the rooms for extra flexibility.
The living room also includes a queen sleeper sofa, allowing the home to comfortably accommodate up to 9 guests.
Guests will enjoy a fully equipped kitchen complete with a dishwasher, two full bathrooms with tub/shower combos, a dedicated dining area, cozy living space, and the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer.
While we've added a newer bathroom and made thoughtful updates over the years, this is still a historic home with signs of age and character throughout. If you're searching for a sleek, modern renovation, this may not be the best fit. But if you appreciate vintage charm, a convenient location, and a comfortable stay at a great value, this home offers an authentic Nashville experience with plenty of personality.

Guests have access to the main floor and luggage storage at the back of the house. The upstairs is a separate 1 bedroom apartment with its own private entrance.
There is plenty of parking on site. The driveway leads to a space that can fit about 3 cars at the back of the house. Please be respectful of the tenant upstairs as to not block them in. There is additional parking on the street.
