Nashville, Tennessee Metro Area Top 5 Home Sales: Three Franklin Closings Make the List, Led by a $4.70 Million Farmstead

Multiple barns, a historic stone spring house, fenced pastures and a year-round creek came with the 1997 brick farmhouse on Leipers Creek Road that led the week’s reported sales in the Nashville area. The five transactions in RealtyWire’s Nashville, Tennessee Metro Area Top 5 for the week ending September 20, 2026, accounted for $21.51 million.

Three of those closings were in Franklin, with the others in Nashville’s Tyne Meade area and the Primm Farm community in Brentwood. The list runs from an 1870 estate near downtown Franklin to a Brentwood house finished in 2025, and Compass RE was the listing brokerage on two of the week’s five sales.

Double-decker rocking-chair porches run across the house, positioned for panoramic sunset views, and the creek that flows year-round passes just beside it. Multiple barns and a historic stone spring house stand on the land, along with a swimming pool.

An 1870 residence on more than five acres in Central Franklin closed on September 14, 2026, for $4,563,355. Five bedrooms, six bathrooms and a reported 5,751 square feet sit inside a renovation that reached from the kitchen cabinetry to upgraded structural supports and steel girders.

The kitchen is finished with custom rift-sawn white oak cabinetry, Cristallo quartzite counters and backsplash, and an oversized waterfall island, and its appliances include a 48-inch Wolf gas range with a double oven, a paneled Sub-Zero column refrigerator and freezer, an ice machine and a concealed pop-up vent hood. An adjoining bar is set in Cipollino Gray marble with iron shelving and glass accents, and a fully outfitted butler’s pantry sits alongside it.

Outside, a three-season screened porch with remote-controlled screens and ceiling-mounted heaters overlooks a level lawn and a creek, and the grounds carry a raised-bed kitchen garden, a custom greenhouse fitted for rainwater collection, mature trees and a three-car garage. A separate structure with exposed beams and brick is laid out for use as an office or studio, and Pinkerton Park is steps away, with backyard access to the trail system that runs into historic downtown Franklin.
