Great opportunity to own a home located just South of the University of Memphis. This home is much larger than it looks from the street. Covered parking in the driveway and a detached single garage in the rear. Backyard is a nice sized area and has a chain link fence. Interior has hardwood floors in the living room, dining room and both bedrooms. The den was an addition to the home and has vinyl flooring. Buyers will love the space and the affordable listing price of this home.

R-6
Residential Single Family-6 District
The single-family residential districts are intended to accommodate one single-family detached principal dwelling unit per lot. These districts should be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is predominately single-family residential or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. Five single-family residential districts are established-R-6 which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area and setback requirements. New R-6 districts are generally located in an infill or redevelopment location where similar lot sizes are part of the original fabric of development. Additionally, R-6 districts should have a shared street network with and are generally located at least 500 to 1,000 ft from a CMU-1, CMU-2, CMU-3, or CBD district.
