Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1918, the home features a dated kitchen and interior finishes that appear to be over 20 years old. While major systems like the windows (3 years) and HVAC/roof (14 years) are functional, the interior requires significant cosmetic updates and minor repairs, including unfinished door trim and worn flooring.
Situated on a desirable corner lot in the heart of East Nashville, this property offers exceptional walkability to Shelby Park, Five Points, and local dining, providing a high-demand lifestyle.
The home features high-quality Andersen windows installed within the last three years, along with a roof and HVAC system updated in 2010, offering better energy efficiency and reduced immediate capital expenditures.
The inclusion of an unfinished basement and alley access provides rare flexible space for a workshop, storage, or future square footage expansion in a historic cottage.
With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the floor plan may be a significant drawback for families or buyers looking for modern convenience and higher resale value.
While the roof and HVAC were updated in 2010, they are now approximately 14 years old and may be approaching the end of their typical life expectancy, necessitating future budgeting for replacement.
