515 Belle Meade Blvd.
Spring homebuying season has been so frenzied that Nashville Predators star Viktor Arvidsson’s purchase last month of a $1.975 million home near Cheekwood Botanical Gardens didn’t even crack April’s list. One anonymous trust, registered to a regular business manager for music and film stars, bought a home on Belle Meade Boulevard, and a couple Williamson County estates with their own names traded hands.
