Nestled behind a private gate and stone wall, this hidden gem offers nearly 3,000 sq ft in the heart of the city, just steps from the University of Memphis. Serene gardens, winding pathways, and a charming brick fountain create a tranquil retreat. Inside, the spacious living room features a cozy fireplace, while a light-filled den with a casement window offers additional living space. A 13x12 sunroom overlooks the lush landscaping, and the primary suite includes a whimsical Alice-in-Wonderland tile fireplace, built-in desk beneath a casement window, and a custom-shelved closet. Bedrooms two and three each feature dual closets, while a walk-in attic provides excellent storage. The dining room conceals a discreet basement door, and a 12x15 storage building adds even more utility. A brick patio and garden paths complete this enchanting property. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and distinctive details throughout, this home is a rare blend of privacy, charm, and convenience.
