About this property
Fully renovated campus home.
The home was originally built by beloved professor emeritus Dr. Steven Shrader, known for founding the Sewanee Orchestra.
We’ve named our home “Back on Tennessee Cottage,” bringing to mind Alumni returning to the Domain, our Tennessee roots, and capturing the location just off University Avenue. Given this is our family’s second home, we ask that guests help preserve the like new condition and we insist on no smoking or pets.
The home features an elegant octagonal suite, originally Dr. Shrader’s music room, now converted into an optional 4th bedroom. This 3, or 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home (both full baths upstairs) is located directly across from the School of Theology and Quintard Hall on the corner of Tennessee and Mikell. The convenient location is walking distance to anything on campus or to shops and restaurants in the downtown Village.
Recent updates include fully remodeled bathrooms, added and refinished hardwood floors, and fresh paint throughout. Our home will comfortably sleep 8 guests. The kitchen is fully stocked and the floor plan is perfect for entertaining. Take your pick of two porches to enjoy nature or waive at students about their day. Our family friendly home offers a space for everyone’s enjoyment and we have carefully incorporated elements of the University into the décor.
With a location in the heart of campus, updates that provide modern comfort while preserving “Sewanee charm," we can’t wait to share our treasure with you.
Additional pricing on “special” weekends.
This home is only available during University sponsored or approved events.
