Nashville's Most Exotic Home

It’s hard to label the house’s central living space as a “great room x93 because it is so much more. This 60-foot long room houses an extended dining table, a complete kitchen, a welcoming foyer, and multiple seating areas.

The kitchen, not typical for a Nashville home, is designed to flow with the rest of this space. A carefully crafted bar is positioned to hide a sink while also providing a built-in buffet bar that complements the dining space. This was intentionally planned to get guests involved in the cooking without making them feel like they’re standing around a kitchen.

And because this functional space that is also in plain view of the rest of the home’s living area, everything is built in; from the appliances to storage. In fact, if it weren’t for the one faucet hanging over the stove (idea for filling pots), it would be hard to detect that the space was a kitchen at all.

This room was designed to maximize the downtown views, the outdoor green spaces, and especially the enjoyment of the owners. A luxurious, resort-like bathroom serves as the perfect place to start and end the day, as is the actual bedroom, which is a comforting retreat.

The windows set the stage, while the furnishings finish the look. Even the height and placement of the bed were considered so that at night, one can lay in bed and see the downtown lights in the distance over a sea of green—it creates the illusion of floating over the skyline.

The closet, meanwhile, is a great use of space: instead of being hidden or closed off, it serves as a gallery-like room centered by elegant furnishings and floor coverings. There is also extra space for packing or dressing for a big night out.

The pool and the view behind it may be the most dramatic focal point of the house. A fire pit sits dramatically at the center of the pool and is designed to be within view when guests enter the front door.

The entire space is designed not just to be gorgeous, but to truly enhance the enjoyment of every season. There’s an outdoor grilling station that is convenient but well hidden just a few steps from the pool, and flanking the water are comfortably furnished dining and gathering spaces.

The expansive guest suites are just one of the many reasons this couple has frequent visitors. The space was designed with as much attention to detail as the main living area and for many, feels as luxurious as a tropical resort.
