Enjoy the best of both worlds in an elegant home with character PLUS a new roof, HVAC, and sewer line just steps from Galloway Golf Course in historic Red Acres. Gracious entry hall, hardwood floors down and up, sunny kitchen with gas cooking and double ovens, gas fireplace, and heated/cooled enclosed sun room. Great flow with formal living and dining rooms leading to kitchen and on to the den and sun room. Step out to the patio from the dining room or kitchen to enjoy the large landscaped and fenced yard. Beautifully maintained mature dogwoods and other trees. The potting shed would make a fun play house or hobby space. Gated drive to the carport (which is set up for EV charging) plus a turn-around for easy guest parking. Fantastic natural light throughout. Don’t miss the walk-in attic storage and bonus storage room (now used for gift wrapping).

Red Acres, located between Poplar Avenue and Walnut Grove Road, is a residential and suburban Memphis neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, wide-lot streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Poplar Avenue corridor near the East Parkway junction, where low-slung storefronts, local eateries, and everyday errands set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Nearby anchors such as the Memphis Botanic Garden, Dixon Gallery & Gardens, and the University of Memphis add a cultural thread to the area’s calm blocks. Architecture leans toward brick one-stories with carports, shaded setbacks, and mature trees. Green space and walking loops shape daily routines, with parkland and gardens close by. The geography reads as east-central Memphis, with major arterials framing quieter interior streets.
