About 517 Drake Ave
Welcome to 517 Drake Ave — a charming all-brick home just 10 minutes from Downtown Nashville and minutes to the shops and restaurants in Berry Hill. Tucked away on a peaceful street, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of convenience, character, and opportunity. Step inside to discover a light-filled layout that feels more spacious than the square footage suggests. The recently refinished hardwood floors add warmth throughout, and the updated window coverings (Arcadia Shutters, 2024) provide both style and privacy. The living room flows effortlessly into the eat-in kitchen, making everyday living and entertaining a breeze. The large, fenced-in backyard is a true retreat. With no backyard neighbors, mature trees, and gorgeous landscaping, you’ll enjoy complete privacy whether you’re sipping coffee on the patio or hosting a summer cookout. Need more space?
