Solid 4-Bed Brick-Veneer Home on a 0.27-Acre Lot
A classic mid-century presence sits along Gill Road — brick veneer, composition shingle roof and an 85-foot frontage that announces both curb appeal and possibility. This two-story, 4-bedroom / 2-bath house delivers roughly 1,275 square feet of practical living space and a level 0.27-acre yard that invites expansion, a fresh landscape plan, or a backyard garden and play area.
Inside you’ll find a straightforward, functional layout with central HVAC and original finishes that speak to the home’s 1963 build. Rooms are well-proportioned for comfortable family life: a primary living area for everyday gatherings, separate sleeping wings that offer privacy, and two full bathrooms that support household rhythm. Condition is listed as average — cosmetic updates and systems refreshes will modernize this solid shell and unlock meaningful value.
What sets this address apart is the lot. At a time when in-town yards are at a premium, this property’s nearly one-third acre provides practical parking space off the driveway, room to add a garage or accessory structure (subject to zoning), and a broad backyard for weekend projects and outdoor entertaining. The home is vacant and easy to show, which simplifies inspections and renovations for buyers seeking a quick start.
Location is Whitehaven — an established Memphis neighborhood with direct access to everyday conveniences and local anchors. Whitehaven Plaza is about 1.5 miles away, Southland Mall approximately 2 miles, and Graceland sits roughly 3 miles from the front door. Schools in the Shelby County system are nearby and the area’s affordability makes the property attractive to both owner-occupants and investors. With a list price of $94,900 (around $74/sqft) and comparable sales supporting a mid-range valuation, this property is positioned for buyers who are ready to add sweat equity.
If you’re looking for a hands-on project with clear upside — either as a family home refreshed for modern living or as an income-oriented acquisition with a projected monthly rent near $1,000 — 5124 Gill Road is worth a close look. Confirm condition, review comps, and imagine the improvements that will convert this sturdy, vacant house into a high-value asset in Whitehaven.
