This brick home gives you the best of both worlds, having the character of an antebellum home and the modern amenities of a three-year old home. Known as the Richardson-Gordon-Prater Home, circa 1827, this home has been restored and renovated to accommodate today's appliances and homeowners. Located in the Robert Beaty Historic District. Perfect for entertaining, the layout and renovation were designed by architects in Nashville. Home was completely gutted and new electrical plumbing, heating and cooling were installed according to city codes. This home boasts 7 bathrooms including the studio half-bath, with 4 laundries, and a bomb shelter installed in 1964 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
