Green Hills Homes for Sale: 1417 Graybar Lane, a 1935 Art Deco Style Estate on 1.38 Acres

1417 Graybar Lane is one of the Green Hills homes for sale that stood out on my weekly pull: a 1935 Art Deco style home with 5,933 square feet, five bedrooms and five full baths, listed at $2,999,900. It sits on 1.38 acres, about 200 by 300 feet, in the Green Hills / Lipscomb subdivision of Green Hills Nashville TN 37215. The listing credits Edwin Keeble for the house. I'm Jason Gruner with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, and I follow every Green Hills Nashville listing. What caught my eye is how rare this combination is: an older home with real architectural character, a large 2012 expansion that added a main level primary suite and a sun room, and an estate lot behind a wall with security gates. As of my October 19 pull it is under contract and still taking showings, so if it interests you, it is worth asking about backup options now.

1417 Graybar Lane at a glance

Inside the home

Inside, the main level opens with a large grand foyer hallway finished in marble. The living room, dining room, and den all have custom lighted built in bookshelves and hardwood floors, and the living room pairs its shelving with a fireplace. A wood paneled office gives you a quiet room to work, and a full bath on the main level keeps guests from heading upstairs. The eat in kitchen has plenty of cabinets, a built in desk, a tile backsplash, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. It is a traditional layout with defined rooms, which is part of the appeal for buyers who want an older Green Hills home with its character intact.

The 2012 expansion changed how the house lives. It added a large primary suite on the main level with a sitting area, a sun room, and a bath with dual vanities, a makeup desk, a large shower, a jetted tub, and large closets. Upstairs, the second floor has four bedrooms, two full baths, and plenty of closets and storage. The basement adds a large den, an extra kitchen area, and another full bath, which works well for guests or a media room. I still walk every room with you on a tour and confirm what conveys with the sale.

Outdoor space and the lot

The lot is the headline outside. At 1.38 acres, about 200 by 300 feet, it is an estate size piece of ground for Green Hills, with a large lawn and mature trees. The listing describes a large fire pit area and a storage building, and a wall with security gates encloses the property at the street. A concrete drive leads to two parking pads and a three car garage with a large workbench area and six big storage cabinets.

Out front, the white house shows the clean lines of its Art Deco style above a paved motor court and landscaped beds. Between the gated entry, the long drive, and the depth of the lawn, it reads as a private estate inside the city, with the space to enjoy it for years.

Why Graybar Lane works in Green Hills

Graybar Lane Nashville is a residential street in Green Hills Nashville TN 37215, and this home sits in the Green Hills / Lipscomb subdivision. The listing notes a location near Lipscomb, 12 South, Belmont, Berry Hill, and downtown Nashville. On the Green Hills side, the everyday anchors I use for orientation are along Hillsboro Pike, including The Mall at Green Hills and Hill Center Green Hills. I will not invent walk or drive times from this door, so I map the route with you when we tour. What I like about this spot is an older home with real character on more than an acre, behind its own wall and gates, while Green Hills shopping and dining stay close enough for weekly use.

Living in Green Hills, one of Nashville's best neighborhoods

I describe Green Hills as the Hillsboro Pike corridor and the residential streets around it, with Interstate 440 to the north and Harding Place to the south. On the east side, Lipscomb University is a landmark with a long history. David Lipscomb and James A. Harding opened it on October 5, 1891, in a rented house downtown, and in 1903 it moved to land along Granny White Pike that David and Margaret Lipscomb gave as a permanent campus. It has been there ever since. For green space, Green Hills Park is inside the neighborhood, and the Warner Parks are southwest of Green Hills. Metro Nashville Parks says Percy Warner Park and Edwin Warner Park together span more than 3,100 acres of forest and field. Around those anchors, Green Hills mixes older brick homes, midcentury houses, and newer custom homes like this one. When people ask me about the best Nashville neighborhoods, Green Hills comes up because quiet streets sit close to Hillsboro Pike shopping and dining. Hours and offerings change, so check before you go.
