The Robert Chadwell Home also known as The Idlewild Mansion is situated on a wooded, two-acre lot in heart of Madison's Neelys Bend. Built in 1859, the rare Italianate is as rich in style as it is in history and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 4000+ square foot home found its perfect owners who lovingly restored it to its former glory and are now bringing it to the market for first time 15 years later. When you enter, you immediately notice the home is in its original pristine condition, however virtually every historic aspect has been painstakingly preserved or carefully replicated to a modern or improved version of the original. Soaring ceilings, transom windows, original windows, and antique hardwoods call you back to the 1800s while a modern, reimagined kitchen and stunning owner's bathroom and wet area make you grateful for today's conveniences. Beyond the home, you'll discover additional buildings and studios. Lucinda's Cottage is a profitable short-term rental AirBnB that complements the main home and has a central stone fireplace and hypoallergenic environment. An enormous barn is nestled next door which can be imagined for almost any usage you can dream of. The first level has a huge open space while the second level has a studio perfect for bridal prep or entertainment. Outside the structures, the grounds are absolutely glorious. Stroll through the meticulously kept gardens for solace in a picture-perfect gazebo. Rest under the shade of some of the largest, most robust trees in the area. Enjoy the 636 acre Peeler Park and its miles of walkways and equestrian trails minutes from the home on Neelys Bend. Madison has quickly risen to mirror its neighboring East Nashville/Inglewood for the hippest places to enjoy. Whether it's Pinky Ring Pizza, Yazoo Brewery, Shotgun Willie's BBQ, Amqui Farmer's Market, or new venue, Harken Hall, you'll be in the heart of it all, and only 15 minutes from downtown and the airport.
