Description

1519 Norvel Ave is a renovation study in blending modern architecture and material restraint, offering 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in the heart of East Nashville. Set back from the street with a bold mix of vertical cedar and black corrugated metal, the home makes a strong first impression—equal parts minimal and warm. A poured concrete planter and clean-lined entry give way to a light-filled interior grounded by wide-plank white oak flooring and a quiet, neutral palette. Vaulted ceilings and thoughtfully placed skylights bring volume and softness to the main living space, where the kitchen acts as both anchor and showpiece. Custom white oak cabinetry, quartz countertops, a built-in banquette, and a slatted wood room divider strike a balance between function and architectural clarity. The primary suite reveals exposed ceiling beams that match the oxide-painted doors—a rich, desaturated tone that recurs throughout the interior. A generous walk-in closet leads to the ensuite bath, complete with floating dual vanity, oversized format tile, and a glass dual walk-in shower framed by clerestory windows and light. Three additional bedrooms are tucked thoughtfully throughout the floor plan, offering flexibility for guests, work, or play. Every finish was chosen for cohesion—matte black fixtures, solid wood millwork, minimal trim, and strong, clean lines throughout. A freshly poured driveway, integrated front and back patio, and curated landscaping round out the exterior. A calm, architectural residence that offers space, light, and a sense of design discipline—just minutes from Shelby Park, Riverside Village, and all the best eats and hot spots in East Nashville.
