Beautifully updated one-level East Memphis home on over a half-acre! This exceptional property combines timeless architecture with thoughtful recent improvements, including a new roof, freshly painted white brick exterior, and updated bathrooms. The chef's kitchen remains a standout feature with quality finishes and abundant workspace. The spacious floor plan offers approximately 3,347 square feet with generous living areas, hardwood floors, a private office, and walls of windows overlooking the heated in-ground pool and beautifully landscaped backyard. A detached guest house with its own bedroom and bath provides ideal accommodations for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living.

Laurelwood, located between Poplar Avenue and Walnut Grove Road, is a residential and commercial Memphis neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and a leafy, campus-adjacent feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Poplar Avenue corridor near the University of Memphis, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and small storefronts keep sidewalks active. The University of Memphis anchors the area with brick academic buildings and game-day energy at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. Dixon Gallery & Gardens adds a quiet cultural counterpoint with formal gardens and rotating exhibitions. Streetscapes mix mature trees, low-slung houses, and pockets of apartments that keep daily routines close to parks and trails.
