Steeped in Nashville history and masterfully restored for modern living, Lookaway Estate is one of East Nashville's most remarkable historic residences. Originally constructed in 1844 and once home to Nashville's first published songwriter, Beth Slater Whitson, this storied property blends architectural significance with thoughtful modern updates in a way few homes can. Painstakingly restored in 2019, the home showcases soaring 13-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, original heart pine floors, oversized windows, and beautifully preserved period details throughout. Grand living and dining spaces flow effortlessly into a stunning chef's kitchen, creating a home equally suited for everyday living and large-scale entertaining. The flexible floor plan offers five spacious bedrooms, including a rare lock-off suite with its own private entrance—ideal for guests, multi-generational living, a private office, or potential income-producing opportunities. Beyond the gated entrance, the grounds feel like a private retreat. Mature trees, lush landscaping, peach trees, and a picture-perfect tree swing create an idyllic setting just minutes from the restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment that define East Nashville. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Nashville history without sacrificing modern comfort, convenience, or functionality.
