Yes, Really: A $745K Midcentury Zoned for Lakewood Elementary

Built in 1959, this Midcentury Ranch is a knockout in pictures, even before you realize where it’s located — and there’s the ballgame. At one end of the block, 4315 Briar Creek Lane lets out on Abrams near the intersection of Mockingbird, just up the street from Hudson House, Dream Cafe, and Sprouts. The other direction is a tranquil, private creek, giving the neighborhood a lush, peaceful feel. Not to mention, Lakewood! And the home is zoned for highly-rated Lakewood Elementary.

These are just a few of the reasons why this brand new listing from Jason Graves of Allie Beth Allman & Associates is this week’s Highlight Home of The Week sponsored by Senior Loan Officer Lisa Peters of First Horizon.

Living in a Designer’s Home

The current owner Richard Schrade, an interior designer and owner of Richard Alan Design, has lovingly cared for and updated the home over many years. “It’s incredibly well taken care of. This home is move-in ready,” says Graves.

Schrade has done a beautiful job of making the most of the front exterior lot, which is set far back from the street and up high, providing lovely views of the creek. He put in those brick planters by the doors and the beds which add so much to the curb appeal of the home.

Upon entering, you find this lovely formal living room, bathed in light by the grand windows: a lovely room for entertaining, or a perfect space for an office.

Come through to the comfortable yet elegant living room, where Schrade raised the ceilings. Graves said this is his favorite room in the house. “The lighting is spectacular.” The living room opens to the kitchen and breakfast nook, and you can see the formal dining through the doorway. It’s an easy, flowing floor plan.

The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops, contemporary appliances and cabinetry, and gorgeous marble flooring set at an angle. I love the way the different floor materials create both color and texture, differentiating the spaces and creating interest for the eye. The roomy breakfast nook overlooks the backyard, surrounding you with greenery: a peaceful spot to enjoy a meal.

Speaking of the yard, step outside to a sizable covered patio overlooking a lush backyard with mature trees and lots of greenery. Plenty of room for a dog, or for kids to play, or for a killer backyard party.

This three-bedroom, two-bath home is located in a neighborhood and on a street where homes don’t become available often. This listing is HOT off the presses having hit the MLS late Tuesday afternoon, so don’t wait if you’re interested!

Allie Beth Allman’s Jason Graves has 4315 Briar Creek Lane listed at $745,000. He’ll be holding an open house on Saturday, July 20, from 1 to 4 p.m.
