2512 Belmont Blvd.
Outdoor kitchens are in, and Nashville is out. Among Middle Tennessee’s top home sales in December, all of the top five come from Brentwood and Franklin. But the wait for a Davidson County property further down the list is worth it — a century-old Belmont Boulevard home made it in at No. 6. And just sneaking into the top 10, Nashville Predators defenseman Mattias Ekholm bought an “entertaining dream home” on Granny White Pike. Below are December’s top 10 home sales in Nashville and the surrounding counties, ranked by sale price.

Sellers’ agent: Laura Baugh, Worth Properties
Buyer’s agent: Tim Thompson, Tim Thompson Premier Realtors
Do you prefer a masterpiece of modern architecture or a classic Tennessee farmhouse? Tough choice, I know, but this 32-acre estate gives you the best of both worlds as it seamlessly combines the two styles — at least according to its listing.

Buyer: James S. Thompson
Sale price: $3.22 million
Seller: Mike Ford Custom Builders
Seller’s agents: Mary A. Kocina and Sherry Erickson, Fridrich & Clark Realty

Buyers’ agent: Laura Baugh, Worth Properties
The buyers of this “smartly designed” home have downsized, trading in the No. 1 home on our list for this one. (At 8,645 square feet, it’s actually larger than their previous abode.) The Reids will get to live like they’re on vacation, if the listing for this “modern luxury” home is to be believed.

Sale price: $2.25 million
Seller: Levin Family Trust (Jeffrey A. Levin and Margaret E. Levin, trustees)

Buyers’ agent: Melissa Chadwick, Ashton Real Estate Group and RE/MAX Advantage
The home has a “peaceful stream in backyard” and “100k in faux painting throughout home,” but the most exciting room is the velvet-lined theater room, which in the listing photos appears to be midway through a screening of the 1990 Robert Redford vehicle Havana.

Buyers: Jason Scott Reiser and Jeni Melinda Reiser
Sale price: $2.08 million
Seller: David Wayne Adams

Though it sits on a relatively small quarter-acre lot, the Belmont Boulevard home squeezes two screened-in porches, a four-car garage, a media room and four bedrooms into more than 4,000 square feet. It was originally constructed during the William Howard Taft administration but has been freshly renovated.
