This sold listing on Cheatham Street is a prime example of a high-end luxury renovation, featuring quartz countertops, a designer primary suite, and even a pet-washing station. 12 S Chavis Street is priced much lower because it lacks these premium finishes and requires ‘AS IS’ repairs to its major systems. While the home for sale has great potential and character, the massive price difference highlights the value added by professional-grade updates and larger acreage. This is a clear comparison between a luxury-tier asset and a renovation opportunity.

This property on Whitaker Street represents a fully restored historic gem where all the heavy lifting—plumbing, electrical, and foundation work—has already been completed. In contrast, 12 S Chavis Street is a blank canvas that needs significant investment to reach this standard of living. The price gap reflects both the larger size of the Whitaker home and the peace of mind that comes with a turnkey historic restoration. You are essentially choosing between a finished masterpiece and a property with ‘incredible potential’ that needs a vision.

12 S Chavis Street offers significantly more square footage for a similar price point, but it requires a substantial renovation to match the move-in ready state of this home. This sold listing on Green Street was already updated with modern kitchens and four private ensuite bathrooms, which is a rare luxury. While the home for sale has a lower cost per foot, you would likely spend that savings on the repairs needed to reach this level of finish. It is a classic trade-off between buying more space to fix up versus buying a completed, smaller project.
