This month’s list of top Nashville-area home sales includes a purchase by bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs’ grandson Jesse Earl Scruggs, who is a cardiovascular anesthesiologist at Saint Thomas Health, a sale by an actor on TV’s Nashville and a new home for the family who lost their home to a hoverboard incident in January.
