Inside the home

From the street you see dark blue siding and white trim, a tall front gable filled with windows, and a covered front porch with white columns at the end of a curved walk. The listing calls out soaring ceilings, big windows, and lots of natural light.

The kitchen measures about 15 by 11 and is built around an island with seating. It pairs white upper cabinets with gray lower cabinets, a gas range under a stainless hood, and three windows over the sink. It opens to a great room of about 23 by 16 with a gas fireplace, and there is a formal dining room of about 15 by 13 as well.

The primary suite is on the main floor. The bedroom is about 16 by 14, with a vaulted ceiling, built in shelves, and windows on two walls. The primary bath has a double vanity, a separate shower, and a freestanding tub, and the closet has laundry hookups for a second laundry area. A second bedroom and full bath are also on the main level.

Upstairs are three more bedrooms and two full baths. One room, about 19 by 17, is listed as a bonus room or fifth bedroom.

The DADU has a true one bedroom layout, its own entrance, a full bath, a washer and dryer inside the unit, and a kitchen with dark wood cabinets, stainless appliances, and a peninsula. The listing suggests guests, rental income, or a home office. If rental income matters to you, I would confirm the Metro Nashville permit rules for this unit before an offer.

Why 10th Avenue South works in 12 South

10th Avenue South is a residential street in the 37204 ZIP code, and this home falls inside my Realtracs "12 South" search. It is the second 10th Avenue South home I have written about this weekend, and the two show how much range one street can hold. I will not guess a walk time to Sevier Park or a specific shop, so I map the address with you when we tour. A newer build with a main floor primary and a separate unit, this close to 12th Avenue South, is a big reason I count 12 South among the best Nashville neighborhoods.

Living in 12 South, one of Nashville's best neighborhoods

12 South takes its name from 12th Avenue South, and a lot of its history is still standing. The side streets are lined with early 1900s bungalows, Craftsman homes, and brick cottages, many of them renovated, with newer builds mixed in. Just in the homes I have written about this month, build years run from 1880 and 1899 to 2022. On the strip, the original "I Believe in Nashville" mural went up in March 2012. Artist Adrien Saporiti painted it on the Howell's Alley building at 2700 12th Avenue South, and it is still one of the most photographed walls in the city. At the south end, Sunnyside in Sevier Park dates to 1852. That layering of old and new is a big part of why 12 South real estate holds people's attention. You can buy a restored older house, a renovated cottage, or a recent build, all within a few blocks of each other. When I walk a house here with someone, the street itself is usually part of the conversation.

The 12 South market right now

As of October 16, 2026, my Realtracs "12 South" List view shows 85 homes for sale and 13 under contract (10 still taking showings and 3 not). Over the last three months, 40 homes closed. Recent sales averaged $1,253,462, with a median of $1,100,000, and spent an average of 30 days on market. Under contract means a buyer and seller have a signed agreement but the sale has not closed yet. These numbers move every week, so treat them as a snapshot, not a forecast. If you want every 12 South sale broken down, get my monthly report at 12southhomesreport.com.

This home first came on the market at $2,500,000 in late July, and the price has been reduced twice since then, to $2,350,000. That works out to about $610 per square foot.
