Welcome to this home. Once owned by the original mayor of Belle Meade, this recently updated home has all of its original charm and solid construction. Situated on over 3.5 acres of serene, park-like grounds and directly across the street from a park and arboretum with playing fields, a playground, beautiful walking trails, and it's close to everything Princeton, Hillsboro and Montgomery have to offer. The home boasts high ceilings, original pine floors, vintage fireplaces and period fixtures. The modern kitchen has an open floor plan to the entertainment room with access to the deck from both! Off the updated kitchen, with stainless steel Viking appliances and a built-in wine refrigerator is a powder room and separate laundry room. A formal dining leads to a charming living room and an additional room perfect for an office or den. The first floor is complete with an in-law-suite including a private sitting room, large bedroom, bathroom with a shower, separate laundry room, a huge closet, and a separate entrance! Upstairs are 4 lovely bedrooms and 2 charming bathrooms. The 5th bedroom is very spacious with a private sitting area or home office, 2 large closets, an ensuite bath with double vanities, spa tub, and separate shower. The home sits high off the road with a striking handsome vision in an award-winning school district with the bus stop at the end of the driveway! Thanks to a brand-new town verified septic system and new well pump, future expenses are diminished!

An artful blend of antique and beautiful renovations inside and out! The mahogany porches have been replaced and replicate those built on the original DeHart home in 1863. Garden beds entice you to the side entrance with blue stone and specimen plantings. You are greeted inside with a knock out kitchen, great room, and powder room. The kitchen added in 2002 has all the accoutrements for a professional chef to the gourmand! Great room offers a stone fireplace in which to gather or just to enjoy as an accent. More formal rooms find their origins in 1863 with their tall ceilings, abundant windows, warm wood flooring, and stately trim. Front staircase holds an accent of mother of pearl in the banister while the stairs offer a gentle riser leading you up to the treasures on the second floor. Those treasures include a master suite circa 2002 with sweeping vistas, walk in closets, and a gleaming master bath. TAXES REDUCED IN 2014!!
