Picket Fence Cottage~ walk to MTSU and the historic downtown square!


Picket Fence Cottage is a charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in a prime location—just a short walk to MTSU and the historic downtown square. Built in 1927 and beautifully restored, it blends classic character (original hardwood floors, crown molding, glass doorknobs) with modern updates.

The cottage features a comfortable living room plus a 55” smart TV with Apps for streaming with your personal login. The dining room seats 6 and offers a cozy space for meals and gatherings. The updated kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook, coffee bar, and filtered water—fully stocked for cooking.

All three bedrooms have queen memory foam beds, bedside phone chargers, room-darkening curtains and Roku TVs.
PLEASE NOTE: The middle bedroom is a walk-through, and the back bedroom also has a private courtyard entrance.

The full bath includes a tub/shower combo, and the tankless water heater ensures endless hot water and great water pressure!

Out back, the cottage hides a charming secret garden with a table for 6—perfect for relaxing or grilling in the evenings.

So sorry! No pets allowed due to allergies.

We hope you’ll create lasting memories at Picket Fence Cottage!

Why they chose this property

This home is one house from beautiful and historic Main Street, and is in walking distance to the downtown square, which is a happening place! Every Saturday (spring, summer and fall) the square boasts a fabulous Farmers Market that is a MUST go to. On the first Friday of each month in the summer there is a live band on the square for “Friday Night Live”. Bring a lawn chair from the cottage and enjoy some great music! Enjoy locally owned restaurants, unique clothing stores, home decor and gift shops, bakeries and coffee shops.
