Country pop chanteuse Trisha Yearwood listed her Nashville-area home this spring. The 6,553 sq. ft. home is situated on 4.42 acres located just south of Music City, and contains five bedrooms and seven baths.
A historic home — it dates to 1920 — it famously starred in Yearwood’s Food network cooking show Trisha’s Southern Kitchen for several seasons. The house gives a first impression of an eccentric and very inviting period farmhouse. The roofline is complex, with the odd terrace or balcony created out of a surfeit of gables.
Inside, the home emphasizes its historical narrative, but quietly, with oak floors, candelabra chandeliers, hardwood molding, fireplaces, and transom and bay windows appearing by turn on a tour. Specialty rooms include a library and a recording studio, and numbering among the trappings of the upper-echelon price range are an enclosed porch and an elevator.
Of the fundamentals, the kitchen comes off well, with a bit of modernity adding dimension to the living style; the glassy dayroom reminds one of the home’s period soul, however, and features a red brick floor to make short work of any doubt of it.
The backyard is designed around a kidney-shaped pool, which sits on the edge of a cluster of mature trees that help give the impression of a forest. A guest house and a garage complete a cursory look at an available Nashville home with a rich historical subtext.
