Welcome to 688 Berry Rd—an inviting East Memphis home in 38117 with timeless character and everyday comfort. Sun-filled rooms showcase gleaming hardwood floors, neutral paint, and an easy flow from the living room (with a charming wood-burning stove) to the dining area and bright kitchen. Large windows frame leafy views while ceiling fans and thoughtful lighting keep things light and airy. Out back, discover your outdoor oasis: custom landscaping creates year-round curb appeal, and the level lawn is wrapped by a custom wooden fence for privacy. An invisible fence adds peace of mind for pets, and there’s plenty of space to grill, garden, or host friends. All of this in a prime, central location—minutes to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences along the Poplar corridor and throughout East Memphis. Move-in ready, easy to love, and easy to show!
