About This Home

As of June 2022

A Grand 3 story Classical revival home has been painstakingly restored and was home to Taylor Swift, who lived here for 10 yrs before moving to Nashville to become a star! It features: restored intr/extr trim and extr Stucco, remodeled bathrms with Kohler fixtures, travertine, marble and granite throughout and an amazing gourmet Kitchen with all Viking appliances. The elegant Foyer leads to an open staircase. The formal DR leads to a bright Study with FP (Taylor played her guitar here) to the left of the Foyer is a huge formal LR with gas FP & French drs that lead to a beautiful side Porch. The grand MBR on the 2ND floor has a beautiful MB with glass enclosed shower, soaking tub and 2 sinks in a granite counter. There is another BR, a Dressing/Laundry rm (was 6th bedroom) & beautiful hall Bath on the 2nd floor. On the true 3RD floor is a huge Bonus/FR, a study area, 2 BRs and full Bath. The 2 Garage is detached with storage above it. A one of a kind home built to last!
