The entire home has been renovated over the last 3 years, with every important space being touched, including a brand new roof in 2025. …
The Story
1008 Monroe Lane
Perched at the highest point of Brentwood’s prestigious Magnolia Vale, "Songbird" is a true landmark. Originally built for Country Christian music star Margo Smith and named for her hit album, this home is a rare departure from the local "cookie-cutter" brick aesthetic. The property sits on an expansive, level lot that looks out over the neighborhood while backing up to a lush, wooded perimeter for total seclusion. The grounds are a masterpiece of mature landscaping. The main floor spans over 5,000 square feet, thoughtfully designed with all primary living spaces on a single level. The craftsmanship is evident in every corner, from the intricate custom molding to the elevated ceilings. The entire home has been renovated over the last 3 years, with every important space being touched, including a brand new roof in 2025. The reimagined kitchen offers "Mystery White" marble, top-tier modern appliances, and designer finishes. The primary suite, tucked away from the main living spaces, features a spacious sitting area, a cozy fireplace and an impressive, two-story bath. It's bathed in natural light, and adorned with RH vanities and oversize cabinet (which stay with the home). Upstairs, 3 additional spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms provide an abundance of options. There is also a fully equipped apartment above the garage, featuring a full kitchen with a convection/speed oven. It's ideal for an in-law suite, live-in nanny, teen/college flat, executive home office, or private guest quarters. Stroll to the back yard and feel the world fall away. The large covered sitting area features a porch swing and built-in kitchen with both a grill and a Big Green Egg. On cooler nights, relax and warm up in front of the hand-crafted stone fireplace. Located in the heart of Brentwood, you're only 1 mile from the Governors Club, minutes to top-rated schools, and just a short drive from Downtown Franklin and Downtown Nashville. Come experience the pinnacle of Magnolia Vale!
