Nestled in one of East Memphis's most established and sought-after neighborhoods, this classic 1959 brick ranch sits on a generous lot and offers a wonderful opportunity for the right buyer to put their personal touch on a solid home in a prime location. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 7 rooms spread across a single-story, the bones are here. All it needs is some cosmetic updates to truly shine. Sold as-is, this is your chance to customize and build equity in a neighborhood where homes are in consistent demand. The location is hard to beat. Zoned for Richland Elementary, White Station Middle School, and White Station High School, which are three of the most well-regarded schools in MSCS, this address checks one of the biggest boxes for families. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to the Shelby Farms Greenline, perfect for walking, running, and biking. Commuters will appreciate the quick, easy access to both I-40 and I-240, putting you minutes from anywhere in the metro.
