1314 JO JOHNSTON AVE, NASHVILLE, TN 37203-2848

1314 Jo Johnston Avenue is a restored two-story brick building sitting at the boundary of Marathon Village to the south and Capitol View to the north, one of the strongest urban infill corridors in Nashville. The 3,519 SF building combines a ground-floor commercial layout with a self-contained upper-level suite (kitchenette and private bath) that supports owner-occupancy, hospitality use, or a built-in short-term-rental keeper unit.

The floorplan is flexible. Retail, restaurant, creative office, event venue, or boutique hospitality all work without major reconfiguration. Marathon Village (the historic Marathon Motor Works campus, founded 1907 in buildings dating to the 1880s) anchors the block with a curated mix of food, beverage, retail, music, and creative office tenants. Capitol View to the north has delivered hundreds of thousands of square feet of office, residential, and ground-floor retail.

The combination produces a stable daytime population, a growing evening draw, and walkable foot traffic that consistently rewards restored character buildings at this size. Ideal fit for hospitality and restaurant operators looking for a signature corner, small private investors and 1031 buyers in the $2M to $5M trophy range, or creative-class owner-users who can use the upper-floor suite as a built-in amenity.
