01 — The House
Walnut floors, a black-tile hearth, and room to spread out.
Inside feels like calm retreat — bright, warm, and arranged so that ten people aren't negotiating for a seat.
The main floor is one open 950-square-foot plan — a 20 × 17 living room, a 16 × 20 eat-in kitchen with a full island, and a half bath behind the stairs, so guests aren't crossing a bedroom to find one.
The kitchen is equipped down to the sheet pans and the laundry is on site — which is what makes a same-day turnover possible instead of a logistics problem.
Parking is its own selling point in this city: the driveway takes one large vehicle or two small, the street out front is free, and the side streets absorb the overflow. Guests let themselves in at the keypad by the front door.
Fiber cement exterior, double oven and gas cooktop, central heat and air, built in 2018 — the roof, systems and finishes are all early in their lives. A property to operate, not a renovation to manage from a distance.
The backyard is fully fenced, with a propane fire pit and shaded seating — where guests end up on a cool evening. It's also the first place families and dog owners look.
The photos show the house as it's furnished today — a West Elm sectional, memory foam mattresses in every bedroom, room-darkening blinds throughout. The furniture is not included in the asking price and is available separately, so you can either take the house over as a working rental on day one or start it empty.

05 — Use & Permitting
One home, three ways to experience it.
The home has been a permitted short-term rental since 2018. The permit will not convey with the sale, so here is a look at what the home can be for you.
One
Live here.
Make it your primary home or a second place in Nashville. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths, a fenced yard for the dog, parking off the street, and a quiet block a mile and a half from downtown.
Two
Live here and host.
An owner who makes this their primary residence can apply to Metro Codes for an owner-occupied short-term rental permit — allowing you to host while you are home, or while you are away for a weekend. Stays must be under 30 consecutive days, and it must be your primary residence; LLCs and trusts cannot hold this kind of permit, and it is issued in your personal name(s).
*Confirm eligibility with Metro Codes. We can provide you with resources and who to speak with if you want to pursue this use.
Three
Rent it by the month.
Operate it as a furnished mid-term rental. Stays of thirty consecutive days or longer fall outside Metro's short-term rental definition, so no permit is involved at all. Meharry and Vanderbilt keep a steady stream of travelling nurses and medical residents in the city, and Fisk and Tennessee State bring visiting faculty. Corporate relocations and touring crews fill in the rest of the calendar.
*Hosting platforms like Furnished Finder exist for exactly these tenants, and the house is already set up to welcome them.
A note on the non-owner-occupied permit
A buyer intending to continue short-term rental use should know the existing permit is a legacy non-owner-occupied permit that Metro no longer issues in this district. There may be a path to preserving it through an entity structure and a membership interest purchase — it requires legal counsel, has not yet been structured, and is not guaranteed. We're glad to discuss what's involved.
06 — The Area
Where Nashville's other music history happened.
Everyone knows Broadway. Fewer know that a few blocks from this porch, Jefferson Street was the R&B and blues corridor that drew Etta James, Ray Charles, Otis Redding and Little Richard — and where a young Jimi Hendrix held a residency at Club Del Morocco and lived in an upstairs apartment nearby.
Three campuses sit within a couple of miles — Fisk, Meharry Medical College and Tennessee State — and the street itself is mature trees, front porches, and quiet after dark. A mile away, Marathon Village fills a restored 1900s auto factory — Corsair Distillery, Antique Archaeology, coffee, makers' shops, and Marathon Music Works for a show.

1602 Meharry Blvd · Taxes
One bill. That's the whole tax picture.
2025 tax on this property
$6,489.09
That is the total for the year — not an installment, and not one of several bills. Metro mails it in October and it's due by the end of February.
If you escrow taxes with your mortgage, it lands as roughly $541 a month inside your payment and your lender pays Metro directly — nothing separate to remember. Paying cash or owning outright, you'd pay the county once a year.
If you're buying from California, New York, Texas or Illinois, you're used to stacking levies — county, then city, then school district, sometimes a special assessment on top. Nashville doesn't work that way. Davidson County and the City of Nashville are a single consolidated government, so 1602 Meharry receives one property tax bill with no separate school tax and no separate city tax added to it. Tennessee has no state income tax either.
The address sits in Metro's Urban Services District, the city core — which is why the bill includes trash pickup, street lights, sidewalks, and closer police and fire coverage rather than billing them separately. Tennessee also assesses homes at 25% of appraised value, not 100%, which is why Tennessee's posted rate looks high next to what an owner actually pays.
Check it yourself
The 2025 figure reflects that tax year's bill. Rates are set annually by the Metro Council and are not final until certified by the State Board of Equalization, and Davidson County reappraises countywide every four years — so a future bill may differ. Confirm this parcel's assessed value with the Assessor of Property and consult your own tax advisor.
