Space, character, updates, and a touch of local history come together in this impressive 5-bedroom, 3-bath multi-level home offering approximately 4,041 heated and cooled square feet on 1.8 acres within the city limits and convenient to local amenities. With generous living areas, a 2-car garage, fenced backyard, and a versatile layout, this home offers plenty of room to spread out both inside and out. The current owners have completed an extensive list of improvements during the past two years, including a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring updated cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, along with new hardwood flooring and carpet throughout portions of the home. Additional improvements include a replacement central unit in June 2025, new water heater in May 2024, two whole-home dehumidifiers, resealed ductwork, replacement gutters, additional exterior drainage routed toward the street, basement resealing, added ventilation, expanded gravel parking, and a poured basketball pad. Inside, the home is highlighted by a masonry, raised-hearth wood-burning fireplace, a centrally located staircase featuring an original mural, and a basement offering additional flexibility with a bonus/flex room and centrally positioned safe room/storm shelter. Adding to the home's unique story are two original chandeliers and a dining set consisting of a table, cabinet, and buffet that will remain with the property. These pieces belonged to original owner James "Super-Wolf" Wolfe, a prominent West Tennessee radio personality and broadcasting entrepreneur whose career became part of the region's radio history. Outside, the 1.8-acre property provides plenty of usable space with a fenced backyard, additional gravel parking, basketball pad, and a detached storage shed/workshop featuring two garage doors. The workshop is currently not wired for electricity. A shared driveway along the rear of the property connects back to the main driveway, creating convenient wraparound access. With more than 4,000 square feet, five bedrooms, numerous recent improvements, generous outdoor space, and distinctive original features, this property offers a combination of functionality, character, and history that is difficult to duplicate.
Lawrence, located between Downtown Jackson and North Jackson, is a residential and commercial Jackson neighborhood with a mid-century streetscape and a retail corridor feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Highland Avenue and Old Hickory Boulevard intersection, where auto-oriented storefronts, local eateries, and everyday services line wide lanes and big parking lots. The architecture mixes ranch homes, brick cottages, and low-slung apartment communities set back behind mature trees. Casey Jones Village adds a heritage note with museum grounds and a classic rail-side atmosphere. Nearby green space at Muse Park and the Jackson Walk supports a steady outdoor rhythm. Daily life centers on errands, casual dining, and short drives to major employers and campuses.
