A few years ago, we found Mike and Leslie a charming home in a bustling, transitional part of Nashville. One day Leslie called and said they needed something different. Life changes, and sometimes what feels like home changes with it.
As a newly-married couple, Mike and Leslie wanted something close to the city that they could make their own. As jobs changed and they moved into more high-pressure careers, Leslie as a musician and creative marketing consultant and Mike as a fitness coach and police officer, they found themselves seeking a quiet refuge to work and to come home to. So, we headed a little east of town to Mt. Juliet for a little more land and a lot more solitude.
On our first trip out, we found the perfect spot—a few minutes from Hermitage and Mt Juliet, up a tree lined lane, to a beautiful home almost hidden from view. The perfect mix of convenience, great neighbors, and the peace and quiet they craved.
Mike, now a personal trainer specializing in training first responders, has reluctantly agreed to one day use a run with me as his cardio workout so we could do a deep dive into the neighborhood. Stay tuned!

The '“small town” experience: annual Christmas parade, local fireworks, drive-in theater nearby, etc.
