515 Westview Ave.
There are McMansions aplenty in our September roundup of the Nashville area’s highest-dollar homes. One stood out in the crowd of gaudy gems: a clean-lined Forest Hills home designed by Robert Anderson, who died in 2014 but is known for his modern designs. John Peter Angelos, executive vice president of the Baltimore Orioles and son of the team’s owner, also purchased a home in the area in September — a house in Franklin that went for more than $2.2 million.
Below are September’s top 10 homes sales in Nashville and surrounding counties, ranked by sale price.

Sold by Massey Burch Capital partner William F. Earthman III to lawyer Laura J. Bowen and husband James, this literal dead-end home was built in 1937. Its dining room is “to die for,” and it’s the home “you have always admired on the dead end!” The backyard features a flagstone terrace, and don’t worry — those are the only descriptions involving death or dying.

Buyer: Steven R. Bostelman
Sale price: $1.6 million
Seller: James H. and Nancy W. Walker
Sellers and buyer’s agent: Molly Elliott, Benchmark Realty, LLC
Steve R. Bostelman, owner of a buy-here-pay-here auto sales empire, bought this Columbia home. The home itself is on the small side for a normal HH listing — just five bedrooms and a little more than 3,000 square feet — but there are 52 acres of property, a pool and a pool house to enjoy if Bostelman finds himself a feeling a little claustrophobic. Also features “stunning hilltop views!”
8. 1709 Tyne Blvd., Nashville 37215
Buyer: Paul M. Zukowsky, trustee
Sale price: $1,540,000
Seller: Dawn Nepp, trustee
Seller’s agent: Karen Morgan, Karen Morgan Realty
Buyer’s agent: Jesse Lee Levin, Benchmark Realty, LLC
Designed by Robert Anderson, who also designed the homes of supermodel Karen Elson and Kings of Leon’s Nathan Followill, this house has a much different look than most McMansions on the Headline Homes roster. Anderson, who died in 2014, was known in Nashville for building modern homes. The house, which sits on five acres, is stark in appearance and features clean lines both inside and out. Downtown lights can be seen from the backyard by night, and the house is surrounded by forest: “Day and night … The Views Are Extraordinary … Private Yet Oh So Convenient.”

Seller: Venkat Reddy
Seller’s agent: Patricia A Carter, Zeitlin & Co., Realtors
Buyer’s agent: Starling Davis, Fridrich & Clark Realty
“Perfect & Pristine!” This home was sold by family physician Venkat Reddy, and it has all the appeal of a McMansion not featured in No. 8: detailed trim, vaulted ceilings and almost 8,000 square feet all squeeze onto just a little more than an acre of property.
