The 5 Biggest Homes Sold In Nashville This Month

NASHVILLE, TN -- Need a lot of space? Want to stretch those legs, avoid unpleasant relatives or just have some peace and quiet? Whatever the motivation, a big house does offer plenty of advantages (though there are disadvantages, too, like trying to buy curtains for the entire house).

And while most homes that check in at more than 5,000 square-feet usually carry seven-figure price tags, it's not always true, particularly if the buyer is happy to live out in White's Creek in a former foreclosure. Here are the five largest homes by square footage to sell in Davidson County in August. These listings originally appeared on realtor.com.

1. The listing for this home on Woodmont says it's "spacious," which is undercutting things just a bit, since it checks in at 10,608 square feet. Incredibly, though, it only ("only") has five bedrooms, which means either those bedrooms are quite large indeed or there's plenty of other rooms in the house.

• Square Feet: 10608
• Bedrooms: 5

5. Here's proof positive that big (and interesting) houses needn't be more than a million dollars. Tucked up in White's Creek is this rambly home, with juts and bends that stick out like a huge, fancy treehouse.
