Is this the 12 South cottage people move here for? — 929 Lawrence Avenue
Jason Gruner, REALTOR®, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty
929 Lawrence Avenue is a renovated 1930 cottage in the heart of 12 South: porch living, a landscaped backyard, a detached studio, and a short walk to the strip. Listed by Kitsie Hayles | Fridrich & Clark Realty.

I'm Jason Gruner with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty. 929 Lawrence Avenue is the cottage question I get on a lot of 12 South calls. Not a new-build box. A 1930 house that already had the renovation, on a quiet street in the 37204, in the heart of the neighborhood, with shops and restaurants a short walk from the front walk.
Here is the house. 929 Lawrence Avenue, 12 South / Nashville 37204. About 1,842 square feet. Built in 1930, then renovated. Four bedrooms and two full baths. A screened-in porch. A landscaped backyard. A detached studio you can use as an office, a creative room, a guest space, or a hobby room. Private rear parking off the alley. The listing is Kitsie Hayles | Fridrich & Clark Realty.

This is why a file like this gets asked about. You get the cottage character — gray brick, a real porch, a roof line that still reads 1930 — and you get the work already done. Screened-porch living is how a lot of 12 South houses actually get used from spring through fall. The backyard is landscaped, not leftover dirt. The studio sits off the house, so the flex space does not eat a bedroom. Alley parking means you are not fighting the street. And you are still a short walk to the 12th Avenue South strip.
I do not invent a list price or an MLS number here. If you want the live sheet, or you want this cottage walked against the last closed 12 South set, write me from the contact page. The public active search is on Realtracs. The monthly sold table is the report I publish. I do not steer anyone to a street or a school. You give me written criteria. I show you the houses that match.
