764 Howse Ave Madison, TN 37115

A midcentury masterwork on a hidden haven of a street - three doors from the cliff tops overlooking the Cumberland River, yet only minutes to downtown Nashville.

This 1964 brick ranch received a designer renovation that did something rare: instead of erasing its midcentury character, it revived it. Original doors, tile, and wood cabinetry were painstakingly refinished, then paired with all-new systems: new windows, insulation, engineered hardwoods, updated plumbing and electrical, new water heater, and a new lower-level mini-split, with roof and main HVAC just ~3 years old.

The main level stuns: a light-filled living room with custom period-design bookcases and slat-wood feature wall, opening through a newly created passage to a showpiece kitchen with quartz counters, new tile backsplash, gas cooktop with vented hood, and full stainless suite framed by beautifully refinished original cabinetry. Three bedrooms and two renovated baths complete the floor, with new French doors leading to a 10x20 deck overlooking a deep, tree-lined 0.69-acre lot with fresh landscaping and hardscaping.

With its own private entrance, the finished lower level lives like a second residence: full kitchen, living room with decorative fireplace and French doors to a patio, fourth bedroom, renovated bath, new laundry, bonus room - plus a renovated conditioned wine cellar with floor-to-ceiling racking. Ideal for multigenerational living or income potential.

An oversized two-car garage serves the main level, and a separate single-car garage off the rear driveway adds flexibility for a third vehicle, workshop, or toys.

This is a combination Madison almost never offers: land, river proximity, serenity, and true design.
