Just Sold Off-Market: 1716 Green Hills Dr, Nashville

Morrell Property Collective is thrilled to share the off-market sale of 1716 Green Hills Dr — a beautifully renovated four-bedroom home in the heart of Green Hills, one of Nashville's most established and consistently in-demand neighborhoods. The home closed at $1,950,000, matched with a buyer without a single public showing or open house.

Off-market sales like this one happen when timing, privacy, or the right buyer relationship line up before a listing ever needs to go public. For sellers who want a discreet process — or buyers who want access to homes other buyers never see — it's one of the most valuable tools a well-connected agent can offer in a tight neighborhood like Green Hills.

Here's a look at the home itself, what made it stand out, and what an off-market sale actually looks like in practice.

Key takeaways:

• 1716 Green Hills Dr sold off-market for $1,950,000 — no public listing, showings, or open house required.

• The home features a fully renovated kitchen by Van Mol Restoration, a pool and cabana in the backyard, and a main-floor primary suite.

• Green Hills continues to be one of Nashville's premium addresses, with an average home value around $1,849,019 as of June 2026, per Zillow.

• Off-market sales work best when a seller wants privacy or speed, and the agent has a genuine network of qualified, ready buyers.

Why This Green Hills Home Sold Before It Ever Hit the Market

Selling off-market means a home changes hands without being publicly listed on the MLS or marketed through open showings. Instead, it's matched directly with a buyer through an agent's existing network — often a buyer who's already been searching for exactly this kind of home in exactly this neighborhood.

For 1716 Green Hills Dr, that meant a quiet, controlled process: no strangers walking through on a Sunday afternoon, no photos circulating publicly before the seller was ready, and a transaction timeline built around what worked for the seller rather than the demands of a public listing.

Step Inside 1716 Green Hills Dr

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, this home offers timeless charm just minutes from 12 South and downtown Nashville. Gas lanterns light the front porch, setting the tone before you even walk in. Inside, the floor plan flows easily from the living room to the dining room and a spacious family room — built-ins in both the living and dining rooms add custom detail without crowding the space.

A Kitchen Renovation Worth Talking About

The kitchen renovation, completed by Van Mol Restoration, turned the heart of the home into its clear showpiece. An impressive 58-square-foot island topped with a single slab of Brazilian quartzite anchors the room, alongside double ovens, custom cabinets and drawers, and abundant natural light. The eat-in island opens to a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the backyard — the kind of layout that works as well for a Tuesday morning as it does for hosting.

An Outdoor Retreat in the Heart of Green Hills

Step outside to a fenced backyard built for entertaining: a sparkling pool with waterfalls, a cabana, and mature landscaping that gives the whole space a settled, private feel rare this close to the center of the city. It's the kind of backyard that makes Green Hills' in-town location feel more like a retreat than a compromise.

Primary Suite and Everyday Livability

The primary suite sits conveniently on the main floor, with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath featuring double vanities. A laundry room and mudroom round out the first floor for everyday convenience. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. An unfinished basement adds expansion or storage potential, and the property includes a two-car garage and a front parking pad — practical details that matter as much as the showpiece kitchen once you actually live there.

Why Green Hills Continues to Command a Premium

Why is Green Hills one of Nashville's most desirable neighborhoods? Green Hills combines an in-town Nashville location with tree-lined residential streets, top-rated schools, and walkable access to the Mall at Green Hills, Hill Center, and nearby 12 South — a rare mix of convenience and quiet that keeps demand strong even as prices climb.

What schools serve Green Hills, Nashville? Green Hills is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools, including Julia Green Elementary — ranked in the top 5% of Tennessee public schools and rated highly by both GreatSchools and Niche. Exact school assignment depends on the specific address, so buyers should confirm zoning directly with MNPS.

As of June 2026, the average home value in Green Hills was approximately $1,849,019, up 1.6% over the prior year, according to Zillow's Green Hills home value index — a reminder that well-renovated homes in this neighborhood continue to hold their value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when a home sells "off-market"? It means the home is sold without ever being publicly listed on the MLS — no online listing, no open houses, no public showings. The agent matches the property directly with a qualified buyer, often someone already known to the agent's network.

Why would a seller choose an off-market sale? Privacy is the most common reason — some sellers don't want neighbors, employers, or the public to know they're selling. Others want to test a price quietly, avoid the disruption of showings, or move quickly with a buyer who's already ready to transact.

What renovations were done to 1716 Green Hills Dr? The standout renovation was the kitchen, completed by Van Mol Restoration, featuring a 58-square-foot Brazilian quartzite island, double ovens, and custom cabinetry — the home's fully fenced backyard with a pool and cabana was also part of its recent updates.

Is Green Hills walkable to 12 South and downtown Nashville? Green Hills is a short drive — typically under 10 minutes — to both 12 South and downtown Nashville, making it a popular choice for buyers who want in-town convenience without giving up a quieter residential setting.

Why work with a specialist for an off-market sale? An off-market sale only works if the agent actually has a network of qualified, ready buyers — without that, a seller risks a quiet listing that simply doesn't get seen by the right person. Track record and buyer relationships matter more here than in a traditional listing.

Practical Next Steps

If a sale like this has you thinking about your own Green Hills home — or wondering whether an off-market approach makes sense for you:

1. Get a private, no-obligation valuation before deciding whether to list publicly or explore an off-market sale.

2. Ask directly about your agent's buyer network — an off-market sale is only as strong as the qualified buyers already in the pipeline.

3. Prepare the home as you would for any sale — renovations, staging, and presentation still matter even without public showings.

4. Weigh the tradeoffs honestly: privacy and speed against a smaller pool of buyers competing for the home.

5. Set clear expectations on timeline and price upfront, since off-market deals move on a different rhythm than a traditional listing.

The Bottom Line

1716 Green Hills Dr is a good example of what an off-market sale can accomplish when the timing, the buyer, and the home all line up: a discreet, efficient close in one of Nashville's most sought-after neighborhoods, without a single open house.
