12 South Homes for Sale: 2028 10th Ave S, an Updated Brick Ranch at the Corner of Bate Ave

Jason Gruner, REALTOR, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty

Front exterior of 2028 10th Ave S, a white painted brick ranch with black trimmed windows, one of the 12 South homes for sale in Nashville

2028 10th Ave S is one of the 12 South homes for sale right now, listed at $680,000. It is a one story brick ranch from 1970 that has been renovated, with three bedrooms, one bath, and 1,125 square feet by tax record on a 0.17 acre lot. It sits at the corner of Bate Ave and 10th Ave S, in the Waverly Belmont area on the east side of 12th Avenue South. What caught my eye is the price. In my latest Realtracs "12 South" search, the median list price for homes for sale is $900,000, so this one comes in well under it. It also has no HOA, and the listing puts Publix less than half a mile away. I'm Jason Gruner with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, and I track 12 South Nashville every week. Here is how I read this one.

Inside the home

Everything here is on one level, which is less common than you might think in 12 South real estate, where so much of what comes up is two and three stories. The living room and kitchen share one open space. The listing calls out lots of natural light, wood floors, exposed wood beam accents, and large black trimmed windows, and the living room is about 12 by 16.

The kitchen is about 12 by 17. It has white cabinets, quartz counters, a large center island with seating, and stainless appliances, and the listing says all the appliances stay, including the refrigerator. There is a pantry and a dedicated laundry room, and the washer and dryer stay too. The home was vacant and unfurnished when it came to market, so what you see is the real room, not staging.

Bedroom with natural light and a sliding barn style closet door at 2028 10th Ave S in 12 South Nashville

All three bedrooms are on the main level and the listing says each one gets good light. They have sliding barn style closet doors. The primary is about 15 by 12, and the other two are about 11 by 11 and 12 by 10. The one bathroom has a double vanity, marble look counters, and a tiled tub and shower combination with a built in shelf. One bath for three bedrooms is the tradeoff to weigh here, and I would rather say that plainly up front. The listing also notes that the windows were updated in 2018 and that the home has central heat and air.

Outdoor space and the lot

The lot is 0.17 acres by tax record and measures about 26 by 200, so it is narrow and deep. The listing describes a spacious back yard with mature trees, established greenery, and a detached storage shed, with room for a garden or a place to sit outside. The lot is level, and a side walkway runs along the painted brick to the back.

Parking is a gravel pad plus the street, and there is no garage, so plan around that if you have more than one car. Because it is a corner lot, the house faces 10th Ave S with Bate Ave along the side. The painted white brick and black trim give it a clean look from the street, and the mature trees in the yard help soften the corner.

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.

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.
