229 Pulaski St, Lawrenceburg, TN 38464

Known locally as the Stribling-Karnes home, 229 Pulaski Street is a turn-of-the-century Neoclassical Revival residence on a deep 0.95-acre lot in Lawrenceburg's Downtown Historic district, an easy walk to the Public Square, its shops and restaurants, and the historic Crockett Theatre. The front of the house is light and formal: a grand staircase climbs past three leaded-glass windows, and the living room centers on a carved marble mantel under a crystal chandelier. Through French doors, the rear wing turns warm and dramatic, with wood-paneled walls, boxed ceiling beams, and a run of crystal chandeliers through the great hall and dining room. The house has been extensively renovated, and the work was done to suit it. The bones are solid and the craftsmanship is original. The updates are where you want them: refinished hardwood floors, a remodeled kitchen, redone baths, central heat and air, and a standing-seam metal roof. It feels fresh and ready to live in, and still looks like 1900....
