This attractive 2 bedroom home sits on top of a small hill with a large 3rd room that could be a 3rd bedroom, office, gaming room or living room. Hardwood flooring. Wonderful street in the heart of Colonial Acres close to shopping and very close to Colonial Middle School. Owner/ Agent: I won't market this as a 3 bedroom home, but it does work that way. It is priced (in my opinion) at the appropriate asking price for the current condition. 1 full bathroom. Central heat and air. Older roof. Gas hook up for stove in kitchen. It could be a great opportunity for someone who can use the 3rd room. Counting the 3rd room, this home has around 1,050 sf.

About Colonial
Acres
Colonial Acres, located between East Parkway and I-240, is a residential and mid-century Memphis neighborhood with ranch-style streetscapes and a leafy, park-adjacent feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Park Avenue and Getwell Road corridor, where low-slung storefronts, local eateries, and everyday services set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Housing leans toward brick one-stories and tidy lots, with curving blocks that soften traffic and add a suburban cadence inside the city. The edge of the area ties into the green expanse of Audubon Park and the Memphis Botanic Garden for long walks and open lawns. Nearby anchors like the Dixon Gallery & Gardens and Theatre Memphis add a cultural counterpoint to the quiet blocks. Errands and dining cluster along Park and Poplar, keeping the geography practical without changing the calm tone.

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.
