Jason Gruner, REALTOR®, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty
1015 Spain Avenue is one of the East Nashville homes for sale right now, listed at $325,000. The existing cottage was built in 1923 and has two bedrooms, one bath, and 598 square feet. The listing frames this as an opportunity to renovate or build something new. The lot is zoned R6 with an Urban Zoning Overlay, and the listing says it offers the potential for two residences, subject to approvals. I'm Jason Gruner with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, and I track East Nashville homes every week. Here is how I read it.

Inside the home
The cottage is about 600 square feet, and the listing presents it as a starting point for renovation or redevelopment. The property is being sold as is, and the seller will not make any repairs, so plan on a full inspection.
Outdoor space and the lot
The listing notes an option to buy an adjoining property, a double lot also zoned R6, which could allow a larger residential plan. Before you count on two residences or the adjoining lot, I will help you confirm the approvals with Metro and the terms with the listing agent.
Why Spain Avenue works in East Nashville
Spain Avenue sits in the 37216 ZIP code. The listing describes a street of renovated historic homes, close to East Nashville restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and parks. It also mentions a planned Southern Land Company development down the road. Plans like that can change, so I treat it as something to watch, not a promise.
Living in East Nashville
East Nashville sits just across the Cumberland River from downtown Nashville. It is made up of several older neighborhoods, including Lockeland Springs, Edgefield, Inglewood, and Eastwood, with Five Points as a long time gathering spot for local shops and restaurants. Shelby Park and the Shelby Bottoms Greenway run along the river, with trails, open fields, and a golf course. Homes range from historic cottages and bungalows to new construction. I do not steer anyone to a street, a school, or a block. You give me your criteria, and I show you every home that matches.
