A stylish Spanish Colonial on a large, treed lot, with four bedrooms, in the heart of coveted Stevens Park … This week’s Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters, Senior Loan Officer with First Horizon, has so much to get excited about. The 1935-built stunner at 2010 Mayflower is a beautifully and thoughtfully updated home, and the perfect opportunity for a sophisticated buyer who appreciates historic homes to move in without having to do much.
The traditional Spanish Colonial style is on full display here with a beautifully maintained stucco exterior and a brand new red tile roof. I especially love the detail of the front porch roofing. Wrought-iron gates and adobe-style walls frame the home, the gate opening on one side to allow drive-in parking access for a full-size SUV.
Inside, a lovely formal living room maintains its old world charm while still feeling light, bright, and modern. The coved gas fireplace is a particularly nice touch, a nod to the Spanish Colonial style of the home and a stunning piece of work. The room is nicely framed by arched windows and has French doors leading to the backyard.
The kitchen/dining/living areas have a wonderfully open plan, flowing beautifully for ease of daily life or entertaining.
I’ll mention again the thoughtful updates here because this portion of the home has obviously been opened up, and this kind of work takes time and consideration when you’re dealing with a historic home, but especially one that is in a Conservation District like Stevens Park. One of the selling points of this home is that a lot of the difficult work has already been done, like updating electricity, plumbing, and moving walls. The kitchen and bathrooms have been done. Any work from here would likely just be aesthetic.
The dining area has plenty of room for a sizeable table, a flexible space for large or small gatherings. I love this view of the space that captures both the natural light and the view of all the trees through the windows.
This gorgeous kitchen has a fun and convenient countertop that seats three, and also functions as a cooktop. This fully updated space has beautiful quartz countertops with a waterfall and matching backsplash, a farm sink, double convection ovens, and a 5-burner gas cooktop with downdraft.
The family room features cathedral ceilings with two stories of windows overlooking the backyard. Notice there’s a wet bar between the family room and dining room!
The perfectly situated home office is secluded at the front of the home, and listing agent Brian Davis with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty said it could easily serve as a downstairs bedroom as it comes complete with a large closet and a nearby full bathroom.
The primary suite in this stunning Spanish Colonial is taking me straight to Santa Fe with the exposed beam and the fireplace in the corner with the stucco vibe. With the architectural vaulted ceiling and light coming from three directions, this spacious bedroom is an extraordinary space.
The luxury doesn’t stop in the bedroom. The primary bath is outfitted with dual sinks with quartz countertops and a deep soaking tub with a chandelier. There’s also a double sided walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling marble tile and a boutique-style closet.
Room for outdoor living abounds, and with plenty of shade to boot! The French doors lead to the dining room and bar for ease of indoor-outdoor entertaining.
With four bedrooms — a rare commodity in Stevens Park — four baths, and 2,638 square feet, this Spanish Colonial is spacious, beautifully updated in a Conservation District, and in an incredible location. I think someone will be scooping this beauty up quickly.
If that someone might be you, you can check out the Open House on July 3 from 10 a.m. to noon.
