About This Home
As of October 2025OLD MEMPHIS – Situated on a 1.5 ±acre lot, this historic house presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a residence that is already rich in character and beauty, with the added potential to elevate it with your personal touch. Originally constructed in the late 1880s as a farmhouse, this home was gracefully rebuilt in 1936 after a fire, transformed into the distinguished and refined estate it is today. Meticulously maintained, the home features detailed millwork, a spacious open layout, and a striking foyer that sets the tone for its classic charm. The expansive lot, complete with a tennis court, invites outdoor living and leaves ample room for future enhancements. Updates include new roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated landscaping, and refinished floors. With its ideal location and attractive price point, this distinctive property is truly a standout home in the heart of East Memphis.
