Welcome to Cedarwood Estate, a remarkable property nestled in the heart of Forest Hills. Designed and built by renowned Nashville architect Edwin Keeble, this timeless residence rests on approximately 5.5 private, level acres surrounded by mature trees and exceptional natural beauty. A beautifully gated entrance opens to a magnificent Tennessee fieldstone dry-stacked stone wall, limestone pillars, and custom Herndon & Merry ironwork. The circular front drive, redesigned and completed by Gavin Duke in 2023, creates an impressive arrival. A peaceful screened porch overlooks the grounds and offers a wonderful extension of the living space. Inside, the home combines warmth, character, and beautifully preserved architectural details with thoughtful modern updates, including a reconfigured kitchen with TRUE column refrigerator and freezer appliances. A vintage Italian Murano fixture and custom Hector Finch chandelier add to the home's character.
