Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1899, this Victorian is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen's beadboard cabinetry and the overall interior aesthetic suggest the last major renovation was over 20 years ago. While functional and move-in ready for historic enthusiasts, the worn original flooring and older floor-vent systems indicate a need for modern updates and minor repairs.
This 1899 Victorian home features extraordinary 12-foot ceilings, original wood floors, and intricate millwork, offering a level of character and scale that is rare in the Nashville market.
The rare, level 0.43-acre corner lot provides significant outdoor space and the unique opportunity for a future detached garage with living space, subject to Metro approval.
Perfectly situated minutes from Vanderbilt, Belmont, and Music Row, the property offers an unbeatable location in one of Nashville’s most desirable and walkable historic neighborhoods.
With over 4,200 square feet of living space, the three-bedroom configuration may be considered undersized for families seeking more private sleeping quarters relative to the home's total area.
Despite a well-documented maintenance history, a residence of this age and architectural complexity typically requires higher ongoing upkeep and specialized care compared to modern homes.
The Belair House at 2500 Woodlawn Drive is a striking late-19th-century Victorian home in Nashville’s Hillsboro-West End neighborhood, offering 4,243 square feet on a rare, level 0.43-acre corner lot. Steep gables, decorative trim, brick walks, mature trees and broad lawns create an unforgettable sense of arrival. Inside, a gracious central hall introduces extraordinary 12-foot ceilings throughout the main level, original wood floors, substantial millwork, tall windows, pocket doors and three fireplaces with ornate mantels. Grand living and dining rooms connect through oversized openings, giving the home both architectural presence and an easy natural flow. The three-bedroom, three-bath floor plan includes a spacious main-level primary bedroom, a generous office, an upstairs studio and a separate bonus room, exceptional flexibility for work, media, hobbies or creative pursuits. The character-filled kitchen features beadboard cabinetry, a professional-style Viking gas range and room for a true gathering table. Upstairs, large bedrooms and light-filled flex spaces continue the home’s remarkable scale, while substantial storage is a welcome surprise for a residence of its era. Outside, an elevated rear deck, brick terraces and a deep lawn create distinct places to gather, garden and enjoy the mature landscape. The expansive corner lot also presents the possibility of a future detached garage with living space above, subject to Metro approval and buyer verification. Held by the same family for nearly five decades, the home includes a detailed owner-maintained ledger documenting decades of improvements. Minutes from Vanderbilt, Belmont, Hillsboro Village, Music Row, Green Hills and downtown Nashville, The Belair House offers the character of old Nashville, the scale to live beautifully and a setting increasingly difficult to find.
