Why they chose this property

Many years ago, we were looking for a distressed historic property to restore and bring back to life. We fell in love with Murfreesboro and its historic preservation efforts. This house is an important architectural and historic element of the district and one of the few on its original site.

What makes this property unique

The house was built by William Hardy Murfree, the grandson of the founding father of Murfreesboro. It retains much of its historic fabric dating from the early 1800s as well as a significant remodel done in 1850. After many long years of rehab, it is again a shining example of historic preservation.
