1500 Chickering Rd, Nashville, TN 37215

Welcome to 1500 Chickering Road. A six-acre secluded sanctuary where once you pass through the gates you will find yourself passing a serpentine stream surrounded by daffodils and Lenten roses up the drive. Custom built in 2000 by world-renowned architect Bobby McAlpine, this extraordinary residence is a beautiful pairing of classic Italian structure fused with 1930s minimalism, resembling an ancient pavilion. The entrance loggia retains an antique open-air configuration. Dining, lounging, and cooking happen within a 70-foot-long cruciform-shaped shell, keeping with the pavilion-esque nature of the home. A pencil and ink mural by architectural painter David Braly covers the kitchen walls. Industrial-elegant factory sash windows and freestanding limestone columns blur the boundary between indoors and out, while an open-air bridge spans the space between the hilltop villa and the alfresco dining room. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 4 full and 1 half baths, complemented by a guest house with 1 bedroom and 2 full baths. Situated on 6.32 acres, the property includes a heated 46 x 8 saltwater pool, beautiful gardens, a small orchard of apples, pear, plum and peach trees, and three sprawling outdoor seating areas. Additional features include a European kitchen with 2 Wolf ovens, 2 gas fireplaces, stucco exterior, copper gutters, terracotta tile roof, limestone columns, and landscape design by nationally renowned landscape architect Ben Page.
