Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1975 with renovations that appear to be 15-20 years old. The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready with high-quality millwork and clean systems. While the kitchen and bathrooms are stylistically dated (white cabinetry, gold-tone fixtures, and carpeted vanity area), the home shows no signs of neglect or immediate repair needs.

The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 107158, living area = 4613.
- Prime Location & Privacy
Situated on nearly 2.5 private acres, this property offers a rare blend of secluded hillside living with immediate proximity to the upscale amenities of Green Hills and Belle Meade.
- Superior Craftsmanship & Layout
Built by Sam Samuels, the home features high-quality millwork and a versatile floor plan including a main-level primary suite and flexible spaces for multigenerational living.
