Front exterior of 947 Gale Lane at dusk, a 1928 brick and stone Tudor with steep gables, an arched front door and a front lawn, one of the 12 South homes for sale in Nashville

947 Gale Lane is one of the 12 South homes for sale this week, a 1928 brick and stone Tudor on a corner lot. It is listed at $1,425,000 with four bedrooms, three full baths, and about 3,150 square feet. The listing calls out original hardwoods, an exposed brick fireplace, three full primary suites, and a private upstairs suite with its own living area, laundry, and bath. Outside, there is a side porch and a fenced secret garden yard, and the listing describes a direct park view. What caught my eye is real 1928 Tudor character paired with more than one true suite. I don't see Tudors like this in 12 South very often. 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

From the street, this is a classic Tudor, with steep front gables, dark trim, and an arched front door. Inside, the living room centers on an exposed brick fireplace with an iron chandelier and glass paned doors on both sides, over the original hardwoods.

Arched doorways connect the living and dining rooms, a detail I look for in a 1920s house. The dining room has a chandelier, a pair of windows, and room for a long table. On a tour, I check how the original hardwoods have held up room by room.

The floor plan is what sets this house apart for me. The listing describes three full primary suites, plus a private upstairs suite with its own living area, laundry, and bath. That layout gives you room for guests, a long visit, or a separate space for working from home. The listing does not say where each suite sits beyond the upstairs one, so I would rather walk it with you than guess.

A bright sitting room with windows on three sides could work as an office, a reading room, or a spot for hobbies.

With a 1928 build year, I would also ask for the age and service history of the HVAC, roof, plumbing, and electrical, plus permits tied to any past updates, before making an offer.

Outdoor space and the lot

Outside, the listing calls out a side porch, a corner lot, and a fenced secret garden yard. The covered porch in the photos has wide brick arches, a ceiling fan, and room for a table and chairs, so it can work as an outdoor room for much of the year in Nashville. A fenced yard gives you a private place for plants or a quiet evening outside. On a corner lot, I also look at how the fence, the yard, and the parking work together.

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, a survey will confirm the lot lines and where the fence sits.

Why Gale Lane works in 12 South

Gale Lane Nashville is a residential street in the 37204 ZIP code, and this home falls inside my Realtracs "12 South" search. The listing describes a corner lot with a direct park view, plus what it calls modern 12 South neighborhood energy. You get a 1928 house with a view of green space, while the 12th Avenue South strip and Sevier Park anchor the neighborhood around you. I will not invent a walk time to a specific shop or to the park, because exact times depend on your route, so I map the address when we tour. A Tudor in this setting is what people picture when they search for homes for sale in 12 South Nashville TN, and it is why I call 12 South the best Nashville neighborhood for older homes with character.

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

The 12th Avenue South strip is why a lot of people first hear about 12 South. It is a walkable run of local shops, national brands, coffee, and casual restaurants on one tree lined street. Frothy Monkey's original location is here. Five Daughters Bakery draws a line on Saturday mornings for its 100 layer doughnut. Edley's Bar B Que got its start in 12 South before it expanded around Nashville. Urban Grub turned an old car wash into a dinner spot. For shopping, Imogene + Willie is known for its denim, and Buck Mason and White's Mercantile are close by. Weekend mornings get busy with visitors, and weekdays are calmer, which is when I like to walk it. Parking on 12th is metered, so living within walking distance changes how you use the street. You stop planning trips and start just going. That is what I mean when I call 12 South a walkable Nashville neighborhood. Shops change over time, so I always tell people to check hours before they go.
