5524 West Shady Trail

Set on 1.11 acres in Langford Farms, this all brick home offers 4,589 finished square feet across two levels, four bedrooms, and hardwood floors running through nearly every room. Difficult and expensive to add later. Here they are already in beautiful condition.

The main level is generous and easy to live in. A great room with a fireplace opens to the rear through French doors. A formal dining room sits under a stepped tray ceiling with an inlaid hardwood border. A study lined with built in shelving, a second formal room at the front, and a sunroom wrapped in windows on three sides that looks straight into the trees. The kitchen anchors the center with a long peninsula, a butcher block island, and a bay window breakfast room.

Downstairs is where this home separates itself from its neighbors. There is 1,514 finished square feet with a full bath and a separate entrance off the driveway, so the lower level can function independently of the main house. Another 1,210 unfinished square feet sit beyond it, room for a serious workshop and the dry storage most homes at this price simply do not have. And when storm season comes around, an interior room below grade is the thing most Middle Tennessee families wish they had.

Outside, the lot does what a full acre should. The lawn is deep, the tree line is deeper, and the back of the property falls away into mature hardwoods. Privacy here comes from the land, not from fencing. A two car attached garage and a deck round it out.

Location is the quiet advantage. Old Hickory Lake is minutes away. Langford Farms is an established Wilson County neighborhood where homes tend to be kept rather than flipped. The address is zoned for award winning schools: Lakeview Elementary, Mt. Juliet Middle, and Green Hill High. Check out thelangfordlife.com for info on the pool, courts, fitness, etc.

Excellent bones, and room to make it yours. Paint and paper are a weekend. Brick, hardwood, a full acre, and a school zone like this one are not.
