Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1936, the property has undergone extensive renovations within the last 5 years, meeting the criteria for an 'excellent' rating. Key updates include new engineered oak hardwood floors (2024), a full HVAC replacement (2020), and a completely modernized kitchen featuring white shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The interior showcases contemporary light fixtures and finishes throughout, with no visible deferred maintenance, making it effectively a like-new home in an established shell.
The property is situated within a zoning overlay that permits a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU), offering significant upside for rental income or multi-generational living.
Ideally positioned near the East Bank redevelopment and the new Titans stadium, this home is in one of Nashville’s fastest-appreciating pockets with high walkability to popular local dining.
The home features several high-value updates, including a new HVAC system (2020), new engineered oak hardwoods (2024), and a screened-in back porch, minimizing immediate move-in costs.
The 'Starting Price' strategy combined with a confidential reserve may lead to buyer frustration or a final sales price significantly higher than the initial listing figure.
The assigned middle and high schools carry low ratings, which could be a deterrent for families and may impact long-term resale appeal to a specific buyer demographic.
