Trisha Yearwood's Brentwood house for sale

Reports surfaced several weeks ago that Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks were leaving Oklahoma for Nashville. She later explained to The Tennessean that wasn't the case, that they just plan to split their time between Tulsa and Music City.

Now the "Walk Away Joe" singer and Food Network star has decided to sell her Brentwood home.

Yearwood's house at 9324 Concord Road sits on 4 acres, is 6,553 square feet, has 5 bedrooms and 6 baths, and boasts a swimming pool. It is listed for $2.2 million.

Yearwood said she is selling the home because Brooks owns acreage north of Nashville and "it doesn't make sense to have all of it."

"It is a little bittersweet for me," Yearwood said of selling her home. "I haven't lived in it consistently (for a while) but when I've been in Nashville, which is a good bit, that's where I always stay. It's been a wonderful safe haven for me. It's a great house and everybody that I know is like, 'Oh, I love that house.' And I'm like, 'I know but someone should be living in it all the time and enjoying it.' So, it's time to do it."

Yearwood bought the home after living in a log cabin in Hendersonville. After that experience, she wanted something light and bright near Music Row and this 1920s cottage fit the bill.

"I looked at a lot of houses, and everything that was really brand-new felt cold," she said. "They kind of felt boxy, and some of the bigger houses had a lot of rooms but they were small rooms. Some of the really older homes I looked at were almost too funky. When I first walked in this house, first of all the owners, he was an architect and she was a designer. It was perfect, it was almost done."

Yearwood said all she had to do was paint a couple of walls and she was thrilled with the space. Later, she bought a smaller piece of land that adjoined hers and added a back driveway to give easier access to the house when the traffic on Concord Road gets "a little crazy."

"It had all the charm of an older home, but it had all of the bells and whistles of a new house," she said. "Her style was really clean. She didn't have a lot of craziness with her window treatments and we Southerners can get crazy with our window treatments."

Now that Yearwood has spent time cleaning some of her things out of the home and changing out pictures, which she said she had wanted to do for years, she said it makes it even harder for her to sell it.

"It really is gorgeous," she said. "It's bittersweet. I'm going to be sad to see it go."
