Belle Meade (French for beautiful meadow) is known as Nashville’s most beautiful neighborhood, and today we are going to step inside a 1920s estate known as “Meade Haven” for a grand tour. When I found the listing images, I fell madly and hopelessly in love, as this home exemplifies everything I love about traditional design. It is elegant, it is pretty, and it is timeless. It does not believe in trends, but instead that classic good taste was designed to last a lifetime. It is quietly demure, always classy, and never flashy or brash. This is a family home where memories are made and captured in sterling silver frames, and the wedding china is not reserved just for special occasions. I imagine it has hosted endless showers, holidays celebrations, and dinner parties… guests are always welcome, and they never want to leave! There is nothing stuffy about this home… it is comfortable, inviting, and always impeccably mannered. Let’s take a look inside…
Meade Haven indeed! Wouldn’t you love to live here? Built in 1929, this home is just under 6,000 square feet on over one acre and contains five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. It sold last year, but you can still see the listing images here.

*SQUEEEEL!!!!* This is scrumptious! And it’s cozy factor is off the charts! I would tweak the kitchen a tad but wrap it up, I’ll take it!:)
Just beautiful. It’s probably all gray now.
Architecture classic, decor is very mumsie could use some youthful traditional decor help from Ruthie Somers or Toby Fairley
Call me old fashioned, but I simply adore “mumsie” style! 🙂 #timelessclassic
