Ryan Nichols with Green Home, has been building exemplary, eco-friendly homes in Middle TN for the past few decades. Now his family is pursuing the next chapter of their life outside of Middle TN and his personal home is up for sale. Tucked into a quiet East Nashville cul-de-sac, this expertly designed, high-performance home blurs the line between indoors and out, anchored by a stunning double-height screened porch that becomes the heart of daily life. With the accordion glass doors open, the living space expands. Drenched in timber, slate, daylight and birdsong, it is perfect for morning coffee, evening reading, or hosting friends under ambient light and a soft breeze. Inside, warm natural materials and handcrafted details create a grounded, creative atmosphere. Custom walnut cabinetry, a live-edge bar, American clay plaster walls, and tuned lighting offer a tactile richness you immediately feel. The kitchen is built for both cooking and connection, featuring an induction range, generous prep space, and seamless flow into gathering areas. Upstairs, the serene primary suite captures soft morning light, complemented by a spa-like bath and organized walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide flexibility for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. Designed for sustainability and simplicity, the home incorporates passive solar principles, low/zero-VOC finishes, an efficient heat pump HVAC and water heater, and durable, low-maintenance materials. Native landscaping invites birds and seasonal wildlife, fostering a daily connection to nature. A detached, wired, plumbed, and insulated garage is DADU-eligible under BL2025-1007. Priority zoned for Lockeland Elementary and set within a close-knit, design-forward pocket of East Nashville—just moments from Shelby Park, the greenway, and local favorites—this home offers a rare balance of vibrancy and calm, enhanced by thoughtful acoustics. This is a home for those who agree “less, but better”.
