Property Description
RARE FIND!! Are you looking for a private escape that still keeps you close to the heart of the city? Welcome to 5910 Willshire Dr—a serene, updated home tucked away on an almost1.7-acre lot in Forest Hills. Just 2.5 miles to Green Hills, 2 miles to Brentwood, and only 15 minutes to downtown, this one-of-a-kind property sits at the end of a quiet, dead-end street behind the highly rated Percy Priest Elementary — bonus if your kids attend, because you can walk them to school! Surrounded by nature and great neighbors, the home offers a peaceful, retreat-like feel with all the conveniences of urban living. Inside, you’ll find spacious living with cathedral ceilings, a large open-concept great room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a dreamy primary suite featuring its own wood burning fireplace and private deck. A detached studio apartment above the oversized 3-car garage—currently used as a recording studio—offers flexible space for guests, a home office, or an entertainment hub. Outside, enjoy botanical-style gardens with a professionally graded dry creek, a large level lard for play or leisure, an open-air fire pit, and multiple indoor and outdoor areas. A new roof was installed in March 2025, along with a brand new high-efficiency HVAC system with whole-house air filtration and virus eliminator, plus spray foam insulation for comfort year-round. This is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to live in a beautifully secluded setting with the best of Nashville just minutes away. Third floor info is regarding the studio above the garage.
