Rare opportunity to own a custom residential commission by Manuel Zeitlin — founder of Nashville's celebrated MZA Architecture & Interiors and one of Middle Tennessee's most acclaimed architects of the modern era. Designed in 1995 and sited at the private end of a West Meade cul-de-sac, this 4,531 sq ft home is the product of Zeitlin's signature design philosophy: architecture that listens to its landscape, honors its inhabitants, and refuses to settle for the expected. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows on the main floor and primary living areas bring the wooded 3.7-acre lot indoors in every season — a living, breathing backdrop that transforms with morning light and evening shadow. The main floor is an entertainer's dream: living room and dining room flank the entry foyer, each with picture windows that frame a sweeping, fully private back patio backed by a wooded hillside. The living room includes a wet bar, a new deck off the kitchen doubles as a covered carport, and the flow between indoor and outdoor living is effortless throughout. The layout is as thoughtful as the design. The main floor primary suite offers the ease and privacy of single-level living without sacrificing architectural drama — complete with a private back deck and hot tub overlooking the wooded hillside, and a flex room directly across the hall ideal as a nursery, home office, or hobby space. The second floor delivers three beautifully proportioned bedrooms and two full baths — each room framing its own wooded vantage. Above, a large open third-floor rec room — perfect for a pool table, darts, and games — leads via staircase to a lofted movie room that crowns the home in crow's-nest seclusion; no bathroom or closet on this level, but it flexes naturally as guest space when needed. Below, an oversized basement bonus room provides flexible space for home gym, studio, or entertainment — anchoring the vertical composition with generous, uninterrupted square footage.
