This fine historic East Memphis home at 3922 Poplar Avenue was completely restored from the ground up with great attention to detail and careful consideration of the time period in which the house was built.

 

All major elements of the house have been updated, including the electrical system, the plumbing, the roof and the heating/cooling system. The kitchen is completely custom and features new Viking and Sub-Zero appliances.

 

A wrought iron gate was installed around the premises for beauty, security and privacy. The adjacent undeveloped lot belongs to Memphis Light, Gas and Water, providing a park-like setting and walking access to East Galloway.

 

Thoughtful amenities include an in-ceiling audio system in all common area rooms and in the master bedroom/bathroom. Other conveniences like an irrigation system eliminate having to water the nearly half-acre lot!

 

Three large bedrooms provide ample living space and a 3rd floor room is ideal as a playroom for children, an office or a 4th bedroom. The sizable basement is a perfect laundry room and storage room for dry goods, a deep-freezer, or a wine cellar.

 

Please call 901-596-7705 for an appointment to view the home. Offered at $498,500.

About the Red Acres Neighborhood (Galloway):

 

The 136-acre Red Acres subdivision was developed in 1923 by H.W. Brennan and Robert Jordan. Brennan, a Nashville native and civil engineer, had developed many subdivisions in his career, beginning with the similarly exclusive Belvedere Boulevard in 1905. Red Acres was his last, and perhaps finest, subdivision.

 

When development of Red Acres began, the Memphis city limits were about a mile to the west, placing Red Acres at the outer fringe of suburbia. The land was then covered with trees, especially red oak trees, prompting Brennan’s wife to choose the name Red Acres for the new subdivision.

 

Despite the appeal of Red Acres, its isolation from the city made growth slow at first. A check of the 1929 city directory revealed only 8 addresses listed within the neighborhoods’ boundaries, making this beautiful Tudor Revival residence at 3922 Poplar Avenue one of the original historic structures in Red Acres.
