The perfect home in the fairway of University Park. Gracious and impeccably updated and maintained, with timeless Southern architecture, elegant proportions, and abundant natural light, this home offers a warm, welcoming feel from the moment you step inside. The spacious foyer leads to a formal living with fireplace, and dining room - both ideal for entertaining - alongside a spacious family room with built-ins, fireplace, and a full wall of French doors that open to the extended patio and pool. The light-filled kitchen features custom inset cabinetry to the ceiling, a center island, built in appliances including dual dishwashers, breakfast area, and thoughtful updates throughout. Upstairs, you’ll find four oversized bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with dual bathrooms and closets, soaking tub, separate showers, and an inviting wood-paneled office with fireplace, full bath and closet, and access to a private terrace. Two of the bedrooms share an updated bath with dual vanities, and the third bedroom is en-suite. A third-floor guest suite offers its own living area, bedroom, and full bath—perfect for visitors or multi-generational living. Outdoor living shines here, with a wood-burning fireplace, dining and lounge space, and a completely private backyard with a sparkling pool. The two-car garage is built to accommodate a car lift. The manicured and professional landscaping enhances the home’s classic Southern charm, which also features dual front porches on the first and second floors. Situated on a prime 70x150 lot, a short walk to Hyer Elementary, this is truly a very special home on one of the most desirable blocks in University Park.
