A wonderfully updated Gay Meadows home is move-in ready and on the market for $155,000. Like many homes and lots in the Montgomery neighborhood located off McGehee Road, the property on Essex Place offers space inside and outside of the home.

“Gay Meadows is centrally located with mature trees and large lots,” Realtor Brenda Hanna said. “Many homes also have carports or covered parking. Each home is unique in its own way.”

Gay Meadows is situated on the south side of McGehee Road, opposite McGehee Estates. The neighborhood is within walking distance of grocery stores, churches, banks, and schools.

Pass-through traffic is limited in the neighborhood bounded by Fisk, McGehee and Woodley roads. The one-story home designs line long and wide streets ideal for early morning or late evening strolls and walks.

“The brick home’s gracious living spaces have been recently painted with neutral colors,” Hanna said. “The eat-in kitchen has newer flooring, and a new built-in oven.”

The roof was redone in 2018, and new duct work installed in 2019, Hanna said, adding that a newer AC unit includes a programmable thermostat.

“You will not find a more well-maintained home,” Hanna said. The home rests on an approximately half-acre lot, she added.

Built-ins, plentiful cabinet space in the kitchen and laundry room, and a spacious sunroom overlooking the backyard are some of the design’s appealing features.

The master bedroom has an abundance of closet space.

On the outside, a newer privacy fence surrounds a lush backyard.  A carport offers extra storage, and a parking pad is located nearby.

The large back patio offers a view of the beautifully-landscaped backyard. The stage is set for relaxing, entertaining, or firing up the grill.

The home was built in 1956. The terrain in Gay Meadows is flat.
