Update, October 9, 2026: This home is under contract. If it comes back on the market, I will update this page. In the meantime, here are the 12 South homes for sale right now. If you want a heads up if it comes back, contact me.

2907 Oakland Avenue is a Craftsman design home with a covered front porch, a private side patio, and a primary suite on the main level. It is listed at $1,375,000 with three bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath, and about 2,954 square feet. The house sits in Belmont Hillsboro, one street west of Belmont Boulevard, and it falls inside the area my Realtracs "12 South" search covers. What caught my eye was the combination of craftsman character and an easy maintenance setup: floor to ceiling windows, coffered ceilings, oak hardwoods, and a small yard instead of a big one to keep up. From the curb you see the front porch looking onto Oakland Avenue. I'm Jason Gruner with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, and I watch 12 South Nashville every week. Here is what I see.

Inside the home

The listing describes a Craftsman design with floor to ceiling windows, oak hardwoods, coffered ceilings, and craftsman trim throughout. That is a newer home built to read like an older one, and it is a style a lot of buyers look for around 12 South and Belmont Hillsboro. The living room pairs the coffered ceiling with a fireplace and tall windows on more than one wall, so natural light is a big part of the feel.

Kitchen with island, white cabinetry and granite counters at 2907 Oakland Avenue near 12 South Nashville

The kitchen is set up for hosting, with an island, white cabinetry, and granite counters, and it opens toward the main living space. When I tour a kitchen like this, I open the cabinets, run the water, and check how the light moves across the counters at different times of day.

The part I would point out first is the primary suite on the main level. The bath has a soaking tub, a dual vanity, and a tiled shower. Beyond the bedrooms, the listing calls out both a den and an office, and the den has a built in console and a window seat.

The listing shows a year built of 2015 as approximate, and the public remarks mention 2014, so I would confirm the exact year along with the age and service history of the HVAC, roof, and water heater before any offer.

Outdoor space and the lot

Outside, the listing describes a covered front porch and a private side patio, with an easy maintenance home and a small yard. The front porch has a ceiling fan and room for seating, and it looks onto Oakland Avenue. The side patio is the quieter spot, with seating and a landscaped privacy wall.

A small yard is a real tradeoff, and for some people it is the point. You get outdoor space you can use on a weeknight without giving up a Saturday to mowing. The listing data I used does not publish a lot size or an HOA figure, so I leave those out rather than guess. If you move toward an offer, confirm lot lines and any fencing with a survey.

Why Oakland Avenue works near 12 South

Oakland Avenue Nashville runs through Belmont Hillsboro, the neighborhood just west of 12 South, and this block sits one street over from Belmont Boulevard. The listing describes the area as very walkable. Sevier Park and the 12th Avenue South strip are to the east, and Belmont University sits along Belmont Boulevard. I will not invent a walk time from this address to a specific shop or park entrance, because exact times depend on your route. When we tour, I map the specific address so you can see the real distances for yourself. Streets like Oakland are why homes for sale in 12 South Nashville TN searches often include Belmont Hillsboro too. Buyers want the same walkable feel and craftsman streets, sometimes with a different mix of homes and prices.

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

One thing I like about 12 South is how many ways there are to get around it. In 2023 the city finished the 12th Avenue South Complete and Green Street project. It added bike lanes that are physically protected from traffic along the whole route, safer crossings for people on foot, better bus stops, and green stormwater features. The project connects the 12th South, Edgehill, and Gulch areas and ties into Wedgewood Avenue and Division Street. WeGo's Route 17 bus runs along 12th Avenue South between downtown and the Hillsboro Transit Center in Green Hills. By car, downtown is roughly two to three miles north, depending on where you start. Belmont University sits right along the neighborhood's west side, near Belmont Boulevard and Wedgewood Avenue. For a lot of the people I work with, that is the appeal of 12 South Nashville. It feels like a small neighborhood, but you are close to the rest of the city whenever you need it.
