An Established Neighborhood. A Quiet Street. A Brand-New Luxury Home. And Some of Nashville’s Best Neighborhoods All Around You.
Green Hills Has Something Newer Nashville Neighborhoods Cannot Manufacture
One of the things I have learned after doing this for as long as I have is that there is a big difference between buying a great new house and buying a great new house inside a great established neighborhood.
That distinction matters.
You can build another beautiful house.
You can install white oak floors.
You can order great appliances.
You can build a beautiful kitchen.
But you cannot fast-forward a neighborhood 50 or 75 years.
You cannot instantly create mature residential streets.
You cannot manufacture decades of neighborhood history.
You cannot suddenly create an established university campus.
You cannot drop decades of shopping, restaurants, schools, institutions and surrounding neighborhoods around a piece of dirt.
That is one of the reasons I have always liked Green Hills.
And it is one of the reasons I think 1119 Woodvale Drive is such an interesting new-construction opportunity.
The House Is New. The Neighborhood Isn’t.
I think that may be the best way to explain this property.
1119 Woodvale is brand new.
Green Hills is not.
The neighborhood developed substantially during the middle of the twentieth century and today contains an eclectic mix of original homes, renovated properties and newer luxury construction.
That gives a buyer something I think is increasingly difficult to find in Nashville.
You get the benefits of new construction without having to wait for the neighborhood around you to become established.
The trees are already there.
The streets are already there.
The institutions are already there.
The shopping is already there.
The surrounding neighborhoods are already there.
And the buyer gets to insert a brand-new luxury home into that existing environment.
The Lipscomb Side of Green Hills Has Its Own Identity
Green Hills is a big neighborhood.
And I don’t think it is particularly useful to talk about it as though every street offers the same lifestyle.
The Hillsboro Pike commercial core feels different from the residential streets closer to Lipscomb.
The areas bordering Belle Meade feel different from the areas approaching 12 South.
The Granny White corridor feels different from the more commercial sections around the mall.
Woodvale sits in a part of Green Hills that I particularly like.
It is residential.
It is quiet.
It is close to Lipscomb University.
And it sits near the transition between several of Nashville’s most desirable residential areas.
Green Hills.
12 South.
Belmont.
Oak Hill.
Forest Hills.
That geography matters.
Lipscomb University Is a Real Neighborhood Anchor
Lipscomb University isn’t simply something nearby that we can put into a listing description.
It is a major institution.
Lipscomb’s main Nashville campus covers approximately 113 acres in Green Hills, just a few miles from downtown. The university reports 17 NCAA Division I sports teams and a substantial mix of undergraduate and graduate academic programs.
That campus creates activity.
Athletics.
Arts.
Events.
Education.
Employment.
Green space.
And a constant institutional presence.
I pay attention to things like that when I evaluate real estate.
This Is What I Mean by the Real Estate Around the Real Estate
When I walk a property with a buyer, I am looking at a lot more than the house.
What is around us?
What anchors the area?
What neighborhoods connect here?
What institutions are nearby?
Where do people shop?
Where do they eat?
Where do they work?
Where are they going?
And most importantly:
Will another buyer understand these same advantages when my client eventually decides to sell?
That is the real estate around the real estate.
At 1119 Woodvale, I think that surrounding story is particularly strong.
You Are Between Green Hills and Some of Nashville’s Most Desirable Urban Neighborhoods
One of the reasons this location works is that the buyer isn’t choosing only Green Hills.
You are connected to several different versions of Nashville.
Go north on Granny White and it transitions into 12th Avenue South.
That takes you directly toward 12 South.
Belmont is nearby.
Lipscomb is essentially part of the neighborhood.
Green Hills shopping and dining are convenient.
Vanderbilt and Nashville’s urban core remain accessible.
And heading south moves you toward the quieter residential environments of Oak Hill and Forest Hills.
That gives this location tremendous optionality.
Green Hills Is One of Nashville’s Most Established Residential Markets
Visit Music City describes Green Hills as an affluent residential area known for upscale brands, boutiques, restaurants and the famous Bluebird Cafe.
But I think the reason people continue to buy here goes much deeper than shopping.
Green Hills has history.
It has mature streets.
It has established housing.
It has universities nearby.
It has easy connections into other parts of Nashville.
And it has a residential identity that has survived multiple real estate cycles.
That last part matters to me.
The Commercial Amenities Are Still a Major Advantage
Green Hills also gives residents access to a level of shopping and services that few Nashville residential neighborhoods can match.
The Mall at Green Hills is approximately five miles south of downtown Nashville and includes more than 120 stores, with more than 55 described by Visit Music City as unique to the Nashville market. Its current luxury and national-brand mix includes names such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Tiffany & Co., Apple and Nordstrom.
Nearby Hill Center adds another layer of retail, dining and services.
You don’t have to use those amenities every day for them to matter.
Convenience is part of the value of a location.
And Green Hills Still Feels Residential
This is the balance that I think Green Hills gets right.
You can have substantial commercial amenities nearby without living in the middle of them.
1119 Woodvale is not sitting behind a shopping center.
It is on a residential street.
That separation matters.
You can leave the house and be close to shopping, dining, universities and other Nashville neighborhoods.
Then you can come home to a quieter residential environment.
For many of the buyers I work with, that is exactly the combination they want.
Then There Is 12 South
The relationship with 12 South is another important part of this location.
The neighborhood is immediately north of this part of Green Hills, and Granny White Pike becomes 12th Avenue South as you move toward the city.
That means the restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops and neighborhood activity of 12 South are close without Woodvale having the same level of destination traffic immediately outside the house.
I think that is an important distinction.
You can enjoy the neighborhood without necessarily living in the middle of the busiest part of it.
1119 Woodvale Is New Construction in a Place Where New Construction Has to Fit In
This is where I think the house itself gets interesting.
New construction in an established neighborhood carries a different responsibility than new construction in a brand-new subdivision.
The house has to work on its lot.
It has to work on its street.
It has to respect the scale of the neighborhood.
And it still needs to give today’s luxury buyer what they expect.
1119 Woodvale does that very well.
Built by Ascent Construction
The home is being built by Ascent Construction, a family-owned Nashville development and custom-home company.
Ascent says its work focuses on Davidson County and draws on roughly two decades of experience in custom homebuilding and development, with particular attention to materials, architectural design and construction details.
That attention is evident in the specifications at Woodvale.
This is not a house where the quality story begins and ends with a pretty kitchen.
The important details go deeper.
Start With the Materials You Touch Every Day
The house features white oak flooring throughout.
Custom cabinetry.
Solid-core Masonite doors.
BHP Black Pacifica hardware.
Top Knobs and Jeffrey Alexander cabinet hardware.
Pella windows and doors.
Those are the details I pay attention to.
A buyer may not consciously think about the weight of a solid-core door every time they close it.
But they feel it.
They may not identify every piece of hardware by manufacturer.
But they notice when the house feels substantial.
Good construction is often the accumulation of hundreds of those decisions.
The Kitchen Has the Specification a $2 Million-Plus Home Should Have
The kitchen features quartz countertops and a Thermador appliance package, along with a Zephyr beverage center.
The room measures approximately 16 by 17 feet and is organized around an island.
That matters because the kitchen is no longer simply a place where someone cooks.
It is where people gather.
Breakfast.
Homework.
Friends.
Wine.
Dinner.
Parties.
An oversized luxury house can have a beautiful kitchen that still doesn’t function well.
I care much more about how the room works.
The Great Room Is Built Around Everyday Living
The approximately 19-by-20-foot great room is anchored by a 42-inch Heat & Glo gas fireplace.
Pella windows and doors bring natural light into the main living areas.
And the relationship between the kitchen, great room and outdoor space creates a logical everyday flow.
That is something I pay close attention to in new construction.
A floor plan should not only photograph well.
It has to live well.
The Screened Porch Is a Real Nashville Feature
One of my favorite parts of the house is the screened rear porch.
It includes cedar architectural details and extends the living environment outside.
I think screened porches make tremendous sense in Middle Tennessee.
Spring.
Summer evenings.
Fall football.
Morning coffee.
Dinner outside.
A place to sit without feeling completely exposed to the elements.
It is usable space, not simply decorative outdoor square footage.
The Main-Level Primary Suite Matters
The primary bedroom is on the main floor.
That is an important design decision.
The main level totals approximately 2,317 square feet and includes the primary suite along with the major living areas.
Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom.
That creates separation.
The owner can live primarily on the main floor while children, guests or family have their own spaces upstairs.
It also broadens the number of buyers for whom the floor plan can work.
Every Secondary Bedroom Has Its Own Bath
This is something I think buyers at this level increasingly expect.
The home has four bedrooms and four full bathrooms plus a powder room.
Each upstairs bedroom has access to its own full bath.
That makes the house easier for families.
Easier for guests.
And easier for future resale.
No hallway bathroom negotiation.
No awkward secondary-bedroom hierarchy.
The bedrooms function more like suites.
The Media Room Gives the House a Second Living Zone
Upstairs, the approximately 19-by-21-foot media room creates another substantial living area.
Television.
Movies.
Kids.
Games.
Office overflow.
Reading.
Whatever the next owner needs.
Again, this goes back to something I say all the time:
Useful square footage is different from simply having more square footage.
At 4,475 square feet, this house is large.
But more importantly, the space has a purpose.
4,475 Square Feet Is a Sweet Spot for This Buyer
This is not trying to be a 7,000-square-foot estate.
And I think that is part of its appeal.
There is enough space for:
Four en-suite bedrooms.
Main-level primary.
Formal dining.
Large kitchen.
Great room.
Media room.
Screened porch.
Storage.
Two-car garage.
But the house still feels manageable.
For many Nashville luxury buyers, particularly people who want to be closer to the city, that can be a very attractive size.
The Construction Specifications Matter to Me
This is where my new-construction background comes into play.
A lot of people walk through a new house and focus almost entirely on what they can see.
Countertops.
Paint.
Lighting.
Cabinets.
Those things matter.
But I also want to know about the components that aren’t as glamorous.
1119 Woodvale includes:
- American Standard HVAC systems
- Spray-foam insulation in attic spaces
- Rinnai tankless gas hot water
- Timberline HDZ architectural shingles
- Pella windows and doors
- Brick and Hardie exterior elements
- Insulated Clopay Canyon Ridge garage doors
- LiftMaster openers with integrated cameras and LED lighting
Those are meaningful specifications.
The Spreadsheet Has to Survive Contact With the Actual Property
I say this frequently in development and new construction.
A house can look fantastic on a spreadsheet.
The square footage works.
The bedroom count works.
The projected sales price works.
But then you have to actually build it.
And someone has to walk through the front door and want to live there.
That is the test.
The spreadsheet has to survive contact with the actual property.
At Woodvale, I think the builder has spent money in the places where a sophisticated buyer is going to notice it.
Why My New-Construction Background Matters Here
I am Brandon C. Knox, Co-Founder and Principal Partner of BDG Partners at Compass.
A significant part of my career has been built around new construction.
My professional profile documents leadership of Nashville’s #1 New Construction Sales Team from 2016 through 2022, in addition to my work across luxury residential real estate, land acquisition, development and investment.
That experience changes the way I evaluate a house like this.
I don’t only ask:
Does it look good?
I ask:
What did the builder spend money on?
What did they skip?
How does the floor plan live?
What is behind the walls?
Who is the eventual buyer?
What is going to feel dated?
What will another buyer care about five or ten years from now?
And how difficult would it be to reproduce the entire package?
I Have Spent Years Selling What Nashville Builds
New construction has taught me something very important.
The builder is not the customer.
The spreadsheet is not the customer.
The person who eventually signs the contract is the customer.
That person does not care that a decision made sense in an underwriting model.
They care whether the kitchen works.
Whether the bedroom is big enough.
Whether the garage works.
Whether there is enough storage.
Whether the porch gets used.
Whether the materials feel substantial.
Whether the location makes their life easier.
And whether they still love the house after the excitement of buying something new wears off.
That is the lens I bring to 1119 Woodvale.
The Location Is Part of the Construction Story
There is another reason my background matters here.
I work in land.
And land teaches you very quickly that you cannot separate the house from the dirt underneath it.
You can build the same floor plan in two different places and create two very different pieces of real estate.
That is why I keep coming back to Woodvale’s location.
Green Hills.
Lipscomb.
12 South.
Belmont.
Oak Hill.
Forest Hills.
All around it.
The house matters.
But so does where the builder chose to put it.
Buy the Things You Cannot Change
I have always believed that the best real estate decisions start with buying the things you cannot change.
Buy the location.
Buy the land.
Buy the street.
Buy the neighborhood.
Buy the trees.
Then evaluate the house.
At 1119 Woodvale, the house happens to be brand new.
But the established neighborhood around it may be the more important long-term part of the purchase.
New Construction Is Particularly Interesting in an Older Neighborhood
Green Hills / Lipscomb contains a substantial amount of older housing stock.
NeighborhoodScout, for example, identifies many area residences as having been built between 1940 and 1969, alongside newer construction added over time.
That creates an interesting dynamic.
Buyers can love the location but not necessarily want:
An older floor plan.
Older electrical.
Older plumbing.
Lower ceilings.
Older windows.
Renovation uncertainty.
Or the time and expense of a major remodel.
New construction gives them another option.
Keep the neighborhood. Skip the renovation.
That is a very compelling proposition for the right buyer.
There Is No HOA
According to the current MLS information, 1119 Woodvale has no HOA.
For buyers who want an established residential setting without the structure and recurring fees of a planned community, that may be attractive.
As always, buyers should independently review any recorded restrictions or other property-specific documents during due diligence.
Schools Are Property Specific
The current MLS information identifies:
Percy Priest Elementary School
John Trotwood Moore Middle School
Hillsboro High School
School assignments can change, and buyers should independently verify current zoning directly with Metro Nashville Public Schools for any specific property.
I think that is a much better way to discuss schools than making subjective claims or relying solely on third-party ratings.
Who Is the Buyer for 1119 Woodvale?
I think there are several logical buyers.
The family that wants Green Hills but does not want a renovation.
The buyer who likes 12 South but wants a quieter residential street.
The Lipscomb-connected buyer who values proximity to the university.
The professional who wants to remain close to Nashville’s urban core.
The relocation buyer who wants an established neighborhood rather than a brand-new subdivision.
The downsizing buyer who still wants substantial space but doesn’t need a massive estate.
The buyer moving out of a condo who wants a yard, garage and neighborhood.
The person who wants new construction without giving up neighborhood character.
That last buyer may be the most important.
The Real Competition Is Broader Than Green Hills
At $2.295 million, buyers have choices.
They can look in:
12 South.
Belmont.
Green Hills.
Oak Hill.
Forest Hills.
Belle Meade.
West Meade.
And parts of Williamson County.
So I would never tell a buyer not to compare.
They absolutely should.
The question is:
What Are You Actually Trying to Buy?
If the answer is:
I want brand-new construction.
I want an established Nashville neighborhood.
I want to be close to the city.
I want a main-level primary.
I want four en-suite bedrooms.
I want a real media room.
I want high-quality materials.
I want a screened porch.
I want a manageable luxury-home size.
And I don’t want to spend the next two years renovating an older house.
Then 1119 Woodvale becomes a very logical property to consider.
Value and Cheap Are Two Completely Different Things
I talk about this constantly.
Value is not simply finding the lowest price.
And it certainly isn’t finding the lowest price per square foot.
At $2,295,000 and approximately $513 per square foot, 1119 Woodvale should be evaluated against what the buyer is actually receiving.
New construction.
Builder quality.
Material selections.
Floor plan.
Location.
Street.
Neighborhood.
Proximity to Lipscomb.
Access to Green Hills.
Connection to 12 South.
And the cost and difficulty of recreating the same product.
That is the real comparison.
Green Hills Has Staying Power Because It Isn’t Dependent on One Thing
This is one of the things I like most about the neighborhood.
Green Hills is not dependent on one restaurant.
One development.
One employer.
One shopping center.
Or one trend.
It has layers.
Residential streets.
Retail.
Universities.
Restaurants.
Entertainment.
Established neighborhoods.
Proximity to Nashville’s major employment and institutional centers.
And decades of residential history.
That does not guarantee future appreciation.
Nothing does.
But it does create multiple reasons for people to want to live in the area.
And that matters.
My Perspective on 1119 Woodvale
If I were walking this house with a buyer, I would tell them to slow down.
Look beyond the countertops.
Open the doors.
Feel the hardware.
Look at the flooring.
Look at the windows.
Walk onto the screened porch.
Pay attention to the bedroom sizes.
Look at how the primary suite sits on the main floor.
Walk upstairs and think about how you would use the media room.
Then leave the house.
Drive Woodvale.
Drive around Lipscomb.
Take Granny White north into 12 South.
Drive through Green Hills.
Look at how close Belmont is.
Look at what surrounds you.
Because the house is only half the story.
The other half is the real estate around the real estate.

Why My Background Matters With a House Like This
I don’t think someone becomes a market expert because they put the words Green Hills specialist on a website.
You earn expertise through repetition.
Through transactions.
Through land.
Through builders.
Through buyers.
Through difficult deals.
Through seeing what works and what doesn’t.
A significant part of my career has been spent selling new construction and working with builders and developers throughout Nashville.
That experience has taught me how to look beyond the obvious.
I know that beautiful photography can sell the dream.
But eventually the buyer walks through the front door.
The floor plan has to work.
The materials have to feel right.
The house has to fit the street.
And the price has to make sense relative to the entire piece of real estate.
That is what I am looking at with 1119 Woodvale.
I Don’t Just Look at the House
When I evaluate a property like this, I ask:
Would I buy the dirt?
Do I like the street?
Do I believe in the location?
Does the floor plan work?
Did the builder spend money in the right places?
Who is the future buyer?
What can be changed?
What cannot?
And:
Would I want to own this piece of real estate?
That is the perspective I bring to Green Hills.
The Best Part of 1119 Woodvale May Be the Combination
There are newer houses.
There are bigger houses.
There are houses on larger lots.
There are houses closer to restaurants.
There are houses with more amenities.
But real estate is rarely about winning every category.
It is about the combination.
At Woodvale, the combination is:
Brand-new construction.
Quality builder.
4,475 square feet.
Main-level primary.
Four en-suite bedrooms.
High-quality materials.
Screened outdoor living.
No HOA.
Quiet residential street.
Lipscomb nearby.
Green Hills amenities nearby.
12 South nearby.
Belmont nearby.
Nashville nearby.
That is the product.
Final Thoughts: The House Is New. The Location Is Proven.
That is ultimately what I like about 1119 Woodvale.
You are not buying a beautiful new house and hoping the neighborhood eventually catches up.
The neighborhood got here first.
Green Hills is established.
Lipscomb is established.
12 South is established.
Belmont is established.
Nashville is already all around you.
Then Ascent Construction came in and built a new house designed for the way today’s buyer actually wants to live.
That is a very different proposition.
For the buyer who wants new construction but does not want to sacrifice the depth, convenience and character of an established Nashville neighborhood, I think 1119 Woodvale deserves a serious look.
