Brentwood Homes for Sale: 1307 Old Hickory Boulevard, a 1942 Cottage on Nearly Three Quarters of an Acre

1307 Old Hickory Boulevard is one of the Brentwood homes for sale where the land may matter as much as the house. It is a 1942 cottage with about 2,437 square feet on 0.68 acres, listed at $789,900. What caught my eye is the mix of original character and real options. The listing describes original hardwood floors and classic architectural details, a studio area, and a bonus room, along with a lot that offers space to expand, renovate, or start over. I'm Jason Gruner with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty. In a price range where most Brentwood listings are well above a million dollars, this one deserves a careful look. Here is how I see it.

1307 Old Hickory Boulevard at a glance

Inside the home

The listing describes the home as thoughtfully updated, with original hardwood floors, classic architectural details, and a warm feel throughout. The remarks also note that the home was previously used both as a residence and, through a limited use variance, as a wellness space. That history explains the flexible layout, and it is something I would ask the listing agent to document fully, including what the variance allowed and whether it still applies.

A generous studio area works as a home office, a creative workspace, or extra living space, according to the listing, and an adjoining bonus room is currently being used as a bedroom. Realtracs records two bedrooms. The remarks describe one full bath and two half baths, and they note existing plumbing that could allow a conversion to a second full bath. I would confirm the bath count and the plumbing with an inspection.

The listing also mentions refreshed interiors and a newer water heater from 2022. At about 2,437 square feet, there is more room here than the bedroom count suggests. I would want to walk it with you and look closely at the condition of the original systems, since this is a 1942 home.

Outdoor space and the lot

The lot is 0.68 acres, measured at 230 X 180, which the listing describes as nearly three quarters of an acre. The photos show a wooded backyard with mature trees and open lawn. The remarks say the property offers ample space to expand, renovate, or reimagine entirely, and that the lot is surrounded by other redevelopment activity, which presents an opportunity for anyone considering new construction. If that is your plan, zoning, setbacks, and utility access are the first things I would check with the city before writing an offer.

Why Old Hickory Boulevard works in Brentwood

The listing calls this a highly desirable Brentwood location just minutes from everything Brentwood has to offer. Old Hickory Boulevard is a main road, so I would want you to see the home at different times of day and judge the traffic for yourself. The assigned public schools listed in Realtracs are Metro Nashville schools, which tells me this address sits on the Davidson County side of the 37027 ZIP code. That affects taxes and services, so confirm the details with the county.

Living in Brentwood, one of Nashville's best suburbs

When people ask me what makes Brentwood real estate different, I start with the lots. Many Brentwood homes sit on half an acre or more, and that changes how a home lives and how it is priced. Two houses with the same square footage can sell far apart once you account for the lot, the age of the home, and recent updates. Brentwood also has a steady flow of new construction, including homes sold before they are built, which means you are often comparing a finished house against a plan and a homesite. I help buyers line those choices up side by side using closed sales, not portal estimates. Shopping, dining, and the Cool Springs area to the south are a short drive from much of Brentwood, and downtown Nashville is to the north. Which neighborhood is right is your call. My job is to give you clear numbers so you can make it with confidence.

The Brentwood market right now

As of October 13, 2026, my Realtracs pull for these notes covers ten active Brentwood listings, priced from $789,900 to $3,100,000. I am still building my full Brentwood snapshot of homes under contract, recent closings, and days on market, and I would rather leave those numbers out than guess at them. When I compare a home like 1307 Old Hickory Boulevard, I pull the closest recent sales by age, size, and lot, because a citywide average can hide a lot in a market this varied. Treat any listing data as a snapshot, not a forecast. If you want my monthly Brentwood price report, you can request it here, and my Brentwood market page is where the snapshot will live.

When I price a Brentwood home with a buyer, I look at three things first: how the home compares with the closest closed sales, how long similar homes took to sell, and what the lot adds. A list price is the seller's opening position, not the market's final word, and the gap between the two is where a good offer gets written. I would rather show you that gap with real addresses than describe it in general terms.
