What is a DADU?
Have you noticed those garages with living spaces above popping up around 12th South and Edgehill? That's a DADU — a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit. A fully independent structure on your existing property with its own entrance, living space, bathroom, and kitchen.
At CDH Properties, we specialize in DADU construction in Nashville's historic neighborhoods. Most builders struggle with the rules and regulations that come with historic areas. For us, it's what we do every day. That means a smoother process, fewer surprises, and a fair price.
Whether you want rental income, a guest house, a home office, or a multicar garage with a flex space above, we'll help you unlock your property's full potential.
From the Ground Up
We build fully independent structures on your existing property. One entrance, one kitchen, one bathroom. A complete home in your backyard.
