807 Boscobel Street in Historic Edgefield, Nashville, TN Slide Tour

Many of my clients moving to Nashville from out of town want to buy in the Historic Edgefield area and after selling several houses in the area, I would like to share the excitement of the area.   Edgefield is an area very rich in history and where the residents take great pride in their neighborhood.

Over the past decade, investors, developers and flippers have restored Edgefield to its original beauty.  Many businesses have moved in and Edgefield has become the “chic” place to live.  Five Points is within walking distance, and Downtown Nashville is only minutes away.  I Dream of Weenie, and Bongo's East are right around the corner.  

I currently have a great listing in the area, located at 807 Boscobel Street, which is a two bedroom two bath 1100+ s. f. horizontal regime unit.  Historic home that has been completely renovated.

807 Boscobel, in Historic Edgefield, Nashville, TN

Many of my clients moving to Nashville from out of town want to buy in the Historic Edgefield area and after selling several houses in the area, I would like to share the excitement of the area.   Edgefield is an area very rich in history and where the residents take great pride in their neighborhood.  Many investors have been going in and buying up old, worn out houses, and turning them into wonderful homes.

Edgefield was Tennessee’s first historic district, and became an independent city in 1869.  It is where many of Nashville’s wealthiest people lived back then, due to the proximity to downtown Nashville.  Most of Nashville’s doctors, lawyers and business men lived in Edgefield, along with some outlaws like Jesse and Frank James.  Some say that Jesse James actually taught Sunday school at Tulip Street Methodist Church, which is still standing today.

Unfortunately, this area has been hit by several disasters-

In 1916, a fire that started in a mill, burned over 600 homes and left more then 3,000 people homeless.  While some left the area, others stayed and rebuilt. This was the time of bungalows and cottages and due to smaller lot sizes this worked out great and gave Edgefield its uniqueness.

In 1933, a tornado hit Edgefield and destroyed many of the homes and businesses.  After the storm, wealthier residents decided to move to the suburbs such as Green Hills and Belle Meade.  This left the poorer residents in the Edgefield area and during WWII, many of the homes were turned into boarding houses.  Edgefield became an area that was less desirable, and by the 1960’s few people wanted to live there.

In 1998, the area was again hit by a tornado, which actually took the same path as the one in 1933.  Many homes were damaged or destroyed.  Following the tornado, people became involved in helping the existing residents clean up and focused attention on the neighborhood, with it's rich history.

Over the past decade, investors, developers and flippers have restored Edgefield to its original beauty.  Many businesses have moved in and Edgefield has become the “chic” place to live.  Five Points is within walking distance, and Downtown Nashville is only minutes away.  I Dream of Weenie, and Bongo's East are right around the corner.  

I currently have a great listing in the area, located at 807 Boscobel Street, which is a two bedroom two bath 1100+ s. f. horizontal regime unit.  Historic home that has been completely renovated.  To take a short virtual tour of the home, click here.

NASHVILLE is “NOWVILLE”

New York Times has bestowed their blessings on Nashville - well in a way they have.

They mentioned Nashville as a “great” place to live and work, siting its job growth, 

awesome music scene and friendly residents as some of the main attractions.

Nashville, a.k.a. “Nashvegas” is known as the Third Coast. In 2013 it was ranked #3 by 

CNN as a “City where startups thrive” and #3 by Travel and Leisure as one of America’s 

best cities.

Six out of ten for-profit hospitals chains are in Nashville and it is the largest publishing 

center in the Southeast.

Nashville’s housing market is listed as #4 out of the top 10 markets in the country. 

Homes are very affordable with the median price around $159,000.

Several reasons for Nashville’s appeal are its core values such as faith, family and strong 

community connections. Folks in Nashville truly enjoy life at a little bit slower pace. 

“Hey ya’ll, how ya doing” can be heard all over the city and we truly want to know how 

you are doing when we ask. “Don’t be a stranger” is almost always said when you leave 

a restaurant or store, and again, it’s how we feel.

I have so many clients that have moved here from all over the country, and the main

reason they tell me they are moving to Nashville is because of the friendly atmosphere. 

As a Nashville native I take great pride in that.

Soooo, if you are looking for a new place to live with tons of exciting things happening 

all around town and a place to truly enjoy your life then come to Nashville. We would 

love to have you.
