I used to view Jim's home on Google Earth but have not done so recently. It was also listed for sale online.
I think your suspicion about accuracy is warranted.
I'm sure about the music studio and the bomb shelter as it was mentioned in other postings long ago and was reasonable considering the Cold War Time frame Jim lived it. It was a considerable expense to build, but I'm sure Jim could afford it, and the security it provided was warranted.
Other reported postings indicate that Jim's home along with Floyd Cramer and others in Madison were visited by fans often to the irritation of the owners. I think Jim's house was near an intersection and fans would park and mill around.
I believe there were musical tours in the area as well.
Therefore, I think his not knowing it was Jim's home is not credible.
I think is possible he might be the third owner, as there used to be for sale notices on the internet.
The house was built in 1958 at 400 Westchester Drive, Madison Tn. In speaking with people knowledgeable about the area it was a pretty nice suburb.
I don't usually post anything negative, but I have to say that Jim's home was not as attractive as I thought it would be and is a style I'm not impressed with externally.
Someday, God willing, I'll visit Nashville, Studio B, and Jim's home. Do to everything going on right now I guess Nashville is having issues.
Oh Well.
