This isn’t just a home; it is a true River Oaks original! Designed by noted architect Oscar Menzer, 491 S. Shady Grove is found on just more than an acre in the heart of Memphis. This spacious Cape Cod style home is the perfect blend of timeless charm & character with functional, livable spaces. A beautiful chef’s kitchen w/eat-in space flows to a lovely dining rm. The inviting great room w/brick flooring & wet bar opens to an amazing backyard. A sun-filled front gallery leads to a formal living rm & office, then to the spacious primary suite w/newly renovated bath+his/hers closets. Upstairs includes four bedrooms & two recently renovated bathrooms as well as a landing space perfect for kids or guests. The layout flows seamlessly from formal to casual, indoor to outdoor, and the grounds of this property are nearly as impressive as the home itself. Whether relaxing by the pool, enjoying an evening around the firepit or playing on the turf sports field, there's something for everyone!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
