A two-parcel East Nashville property home to a church building and located approximately seven blocks north of Five Points has sold for $1.3 million.
The Davidson County Register of Deeds Office has yet to record the transaction, but a source confirmed the deal.
The new owners of the property, with addresses of 714-716 Gallatin Ave., are locally based real estate investor Afshin Yazdian and a group of silent investors.
Nashville attorneys Jim Higgins and Rick Piliponis, partners with SoBro-based The Higgins Firm, were the sellers. The two paid $1.02 million for the property in May 2019, according to Metro records, and were planning to open a pub in the building that housed the church. The business tentatively was to have been called Eastwood Assembly.
