Tennyson Germantown

Tennyson Germantown at a glance

Tennyson Germantown sits at the corner of Fourth Avenue North and Hume Street in historic Germantown, one of Nashville's most walkable neighborhoods inside the 37208 ZIP code. The community is a 16-unit collection of luxury townhomes, with units delivering through 2025 and 2026. As of mid-2026 the development is selling and is reported sold or near sold-out. The name honors Wilhelmina Tennyson Geist, wife of German immigrant blacksmith John Geist Sr., a nod to the neighborhood's deep German heritage dating to 1874.

These are modern, brownstone-style townhomes built by Place Development and FrontFour Real Ventures, designed by rootARCH with interiors by Shonna Sexton. Homes range from 2,200 to 3,700 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms, and pricing in the development has run roughly from $1.65 million upward. Buyers here tend to be people who want a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave luxury home steps from Germantown's restaurants, shops, and parks, with quick access to downtown and the riverfront. Because the homes are new construction at a premium price point, we represent buyers here at little or no cost to you and help you compare units, finishes, and delivery timelines.

Who builds in Tennyson Germantown

Tennyson Germantown is a partnership between Place Development and FrontFour Real Ventures. The two firms developed the 16-unit community together, bringing the modern brownstone concept to the Fourth & Hume corner. The architecture is by rootARCH and the interiors are by designer Shonna Sexton, which is reflected in the high-end material palette throughout the homes.

Because we tour new-construction communities across Middle Tennessee constantly, we can walk you through what these builders deliver, how the finishes compare to other Germantown and downtown townhome projects, and what to expect from the build and delivery process. We connect with the listing side directly so you have a clear picture of availability and timing before you make a move.

Tennyson Germantown is an all-townhome community of 16 units. Homes range from 2,200 to 3,700 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms, set on individual unit lots with typical townhome footprints. Each home includes a 2-car garage with side passage.

The finish level is high. Notable features include rooftop decks with Germantown and downtown skyline views, ground-floor bedrooms, marble countertops, White Oak cabinetry, and high-end appliances from Fisher & Paykel and Wolf. Owner's suites feature a soaking tub, and homes offer elevator or stair access between levels. Optional built-in outdoor kitchens are available on select units. For current floor plans, specifications, and remaining availability, we pull the latest directly from the builders' official materials and the listing brokerage for you.

Amenities & community life

The draw at Tennyson Germantown is the location and the rooftop living. Private rooftop decks open to Germantown and downtown skyline views, and the homes are within walking distance of Germantown's dining, shops, and parks. The community sits near the Germantown Riverfront and the Neuhoff District, and an upcoming pedestrian bridge is planned to connect the area to the East Bank.

Day to day, this is townhome living built for walkability. With 2-car garages, ground-floor bedrooms, and elevator or stair access, the homes are designed for low-maintenance ownership while keeping you close to the energy of one of Nashville's most established historic neighborhoods.

Location, access & schools

Tennyson Germantown is located at the corner of Fourth Avenue North and Hume Street in the 37208 area of Nashville, Davidson County. From here you have quick access to downtown Nashville, the Germantown Riverfront, and the Neuhoff District just to the north. The neighborhood's restaurants, shops, and parks are reachable on foot, and the planned pedestrian bridge will further connect the riverfront to the East Bank.

Homes in this area are served by Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools (MNPS). MNPS assigns schools by address, so zoning must be confirmed through address verification. We can pull the exact current school assignment for any specific unit you are considering.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details change as a community sells through, so confirm the specifics with us before you write an offer. We will verify current pricing, which units remain available, the delivery timeline for the unit you want, the HOA structure and dues, the individual lot, and the final finish and appliance schedule. We pull live numbers and availability directly from the builders and the listing brokerage so you are working from accurate, up-to-date information rather than older marketing figures.
