Some homes tell a story from the moment you walk in. Built in 1925 and thoughtfully renovated, 1119 Chester Ave is exactly that kind of home, one where the original character has been honored and the modern updates actually make sense.
The main residence is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with the kind of light and proportion that only century-old construction delivers. The renovated primary suite is the crown jewel here, bright, airy, and finished with care. This is the room you'll want to spend your Saturday mornings in.
Then there's the studio. Attached to the main home and complete with its own kitchenette and full bath, it has been successfully operated as an Airbnb by the current owners. Keep it as a revenue-producing unit, use it for a family member or guest, or reintegrate it into the main home with minimal effort. The flexibility here is genuine, and most East Nashville homes at this price point simply don't offer it.
At 2,288 square feet total, the layout gives everyone room to breathe. Outside, you're a short walk from everything that makes this neighborhood worth buying into: the restaurants, the coffee shops, the tree-lined streets, and the community.
And then there's what's coming. The former Nashville Auto Diesel College campus on Gallatin is actively being redeveloped by Southern Land Company into a mixed-use neighborhood with hundreds of homes, retail, restaurants, and greenspace. Proximity to that kind of investment is the kind of thing you'll be very glad you got ahead of.
1925 bones. A renovated suite, an income-producing studio, a brand new roof and a neighborhood you want to be in. We'd love to show you around.
