$50M Mansion in Nashville’s Ritziest Neighborhood Is Tennessee’s Most Expensive Home

Abstract

"The house is new. Of course, parts of the house look like they're 100 years old. At the same time, the materials they used look like the contractors just left last month," explains listing agent Steve Fridrich, with Fridrich & Clark Realty. "It's so well-done. The style of the house is very timeless with the highest-quality finishes you can imagine." The home was designed by Ferguson & Shamamian Architects for billionaire Dr. Thomas Frist Jr., founder of HCA Healthcare. "You walk into a very large entry hall, and there is a gracious living room, dining room, and study, and then it has a modern kitchen with a family room off of it," Fridrich explains. "Somebody could purchase that and build another house," Fridrich says. "You might be able to see it a bit from the main house, but you wouldn't see much of it." A long driveway through the trees connects the main road to the home's front entrance. "All of a sudden, the grounds open up to a big arrival court in front. It's a fairly grand home, but it's a very welcoming home," Fridrich says. "The grounds are exquisite. There are areas for a tent for entertaining large groups. The house opens up into the backyard for entertaining," Fridrich says.
