This University Park Tudor Revival is Going … Going …

And it’s almost gone!  This updated University Park Tudor Revival was listed on January 16 and within a week has had multiple offers. It’s in the active option phase right now, so you may still have a chance.

All I can say is if you are looking for a home and don’t have a Realtor with their ear to the ground, you aren’t going to find one.  

This house is hot, not just because it’s located in the Park Cities, although there is a distinct thought process involved when a buyer wants to call the Park Cities home.

Of course, a potential abode must tick all the boxes and this University Park Tudor Revival delivers on every level. It’s also a relief that potential buyers don’t have to figure out what goes where or how this house lives because the team at George Bass Stage & Design pulled out all the stops on this one.  

“We did not want to rock the foundation,” George Bass said.  “The sellers did an excellent job in preserving the classic aspects of the Tudor Revival style while adding appropriate updates. We just put together a sensible flow and comfortable lifestyle feel with classic fabrics and rugs using unique, original art from Keith Johnson and original florals by Shane Burroughs. ” 

The result is magical.

From the moment I walked into this home, it pulled at my heartstrings. Of course, it’s beautifully situated just behind the Park Cities YMCA. You can walk across the street for your workout, then walk down the street to blow said work out with a Frappuccino at the Highland Park Village Starbucks or with a cupcake at Bird Bakery. 

And with the Dallas Country Club a block away well, it does not get better than this.

At 5,734 square feet, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two powder baths, this 1993 University Park Tudor Revival was expanded and remodeled in 2007. Last year the current owners hired Randall Underwood to do a complete refresh, including a new roof, gutters, a drainage system, new windows and French doors, and wood floors throughout. The walls were also museum finished.

“The couple that owns the house did just the right things to bring it up to 2021 standards,” Allie Beth Allman listing agent Frank Purcell said. “It has so much natural light, and with the 12-foot ceilings, there is almost a Santa Barbara feel to it. Like the green granite in the kitchen, even the personal choices have proven to be a hit. People have said, ‘Oh great. There is color!’ The house is also on a half-acre lot, so many potential buyers coming from other states love that. Almost everyone has walked from the great room straight to the outside to see the backyard, pool and spa. It’s rare to have this much outdoor space in University Park.”

Like I said, if fortune smiles on you, there may be a slim chance you can get still get your offer into Frank on this gorgeous University Park Tudor Revival at 4001 Normandy Avenue. It’s only $3.695 million and, best of all, live-in ready!
