Front exterior of 1829 Willow Springs Drive, a red brick 1962 ranch with a low hip roof, front windows, and mature trees on a large lawn, one of the East Nashville homes for sale in Nashville

1829 Willow Springs Drive is one of the East Nashville homes for sale right now, listed at $565,000. It is a 1962 Mid Century ranch with three bedrooms, two full baths, and 2,288 square feet on a half acre lot. What caught my eye is the layout. The main level has two bedrooms and a bath, and the lower level is set up as a fully separate apartment with its own entrance. I'm Jason Gruner with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, and I track East Nashville homes every week. Here is how I read it.
