East Nashville Homes for Sale: 503 Ben Allen Road, a Freshly Painted Home with Downtown Skyline Views and Three Outdoor Spaces
Jason Gruner, REALTOR®, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty
503 Ben Allen Road is one of the East Nashville homes for sale right now, listed at $515,000. It has three bedrooms, two full baths, a half bath, and 1,660 square feet, built around 1990. The listing describes a French Colonial inspired home on a wooded 0.43 acre lot with views of the downtown Nashville skyline. What caught my eye is the outdoor space: a large covered front porch, an oversized rear deck, and a second floor deck off the primary suite. 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 listing says the home was freshly painted and is move in ready. It calls out abundant natural light, spacious living and dining areas, updated flooring, and a newer roof.
The primary suite opens to its own second floor deck, and the listing notes seasonal skyline views from there.
Outdoor space and the lot
There are three outdoor living spaces. The large covered front porch faces the skyline view, the oversized rear deck looks over a private backyard, and the upper deck sits off the primary suite.
The listing also notes the property could work as an income producing home or a possible redevelopment opportunity. If that is part of your plan, I will pull the zoning and recent sales with you before you make an offer.
Why Ben Allen Road works in East Nashville
Ben Allen Road sits in the 37216 ZIP code, and the listing describes the home as just minutes from downtown Nashville. I will not guess a drive time, so I map the route with you when we tour. A wooded lot this size with a porch view of the skyline is not something you see often this close to downtown.
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.
