600 Monroe Street -Nashville, TN 37208
This picturesque shotgun cottage located in the heart of the popular Germantown neighborhood is one of Nashville’s most identifiable landmark homes. It has been featured in national print media Southern Living, Classic American Homes and Country Home as well HGTV’s Homes Across America.  

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 1981 Italianate Victorian style structure has been meticulously restored with an emphasis on authenticity and practicality. From the original heart pine flooring to the 12 ft. custom crown-mold ceilings, each room reflects skillful attention to architectural detail and imaginative use of space. The gem of a residence includes formal entry, living room, dining room and conservatory/solarium.  

Interior plantation shutters, three fireplaces with gas burning coal embers, period appropriate chandeliers and detailed wood trim adds to the home’s appeal. A wood lattice privacy fence along with period wrought iron enclose an immaculately landscaped garden that is bordered by vintage brick walkways that lead to detached two– car garage, garden shed, pergola and side courtyard. 

Built in 1871 as an American Worker’s cottage in Victorian Italianate style for German craftsmen.
