Own a piece of Memphis history in this breathtaking Southern estate, showcasing 70,000 lbs of hand-carved Greek Revival limestone columns & the original iron stairway from the historic 1907 Goodwyn Building(see article). The grand marble foyer sets the tone for sweeping living spaces, a stunning formal dining room that seats 12, and a marble chef’s kitchen with Wolf gas range, wine cooler, fridge, basement freezer, and new tankless water heater. The light-filled primary suite includes a glamorous updated bath and an entire room-sized closet—perfect also as an office or gym. Upstairs bedrooms and baths are equally elegant, with an impressive landing anchoring the space. Outdoor living is equally refined with a high-design pool, water feature, hot tub, & outdoor kitchen. A charming guest house and 2 covered parking spaces complete this one-of-a-kind offering. From timeless materials to unforgettable design, this grand home captures the soul of a Southern estate. A truly rare opportunity!
