Some homes are purchased. Others are carefully crafted over time. This is one of those homes. For nearly 15 years, 5007 Manuel Drive wasn’t simply where I lived—it became a reflection of how I wanted to live. Every renovation was made with intention because I believed a home should enrich everyday life. My goal was simple: create a home that felt effortless to live in and unforgettable to come home to. In 2020, I transformed the exterior into an extension of the living space. The screened porch—with its outdoor fireplace, spruce ceiling, remote screens, Bromic heater, and outdoor bar—became the heart of the home. The garage pavilion with enclosed storage was designed for more than parking, offering flexible space for entertaining, projects, or gatherings. A remote-entry gate, cedar fencing, irrigation, mature landscaping, and architectural lighting completed the private retreat I envisioned. In 2022, I focused on maximizing every square foot. The third bedroom became a custom dressing room connected to the primary suite and was designed by Inspired Closets Nashville. Both bathrooms were completely renovated, while the kitchen received updated cabinetry, premium finishes, and a Thermador refrigerator. An Empire 60-inch linear fireplace became the centerpiece of the living room, and a dedicated fitness space with premium rubber flooring completed the home’s lifestyle-focused design. Every improvement reflects a commitment to quality, comfort, and thoughtful living. From the carefully planned renovations to the custom indoor and outdoor living spaces, every detail has been thoughtfully designed, meticulously maintained, and deeply loved. For those who appreciate the lifestyle I’ve created, the home may also be purchased fully furnished, offering a truly turnkey opportunity. Now it’s time for someone else to write the next chapter. I hope the next owner experiences the same pride, comfort, and memories that made this home so special to me.
