Timeless University Park Gem Could Be Your Home For the Holidays

In University Park, the original owners of a beautiful Terry Woldt-built residence are ready to pass the baton after years of cherishing it. For buyers with an appreciation for sophisticated design, high-quality materials and craftsmanship, and luxurious spaces for elegant hosting, it’s a rare offering you don’t want to miss. 

A University Park Treasure

Arriving at 4121 Amherst Avenue, you may first be drawn in by the home’s enchanting curb appeal. The symmetrical brick facade with gracious windows and an inset doorway outlined in stone harkens to eras of grand titles and balls, though the 5,557-square-foot home only came to be in 2007. This timeless quality is something that carries throughout the architectural treasure, which could just as easily impress in 1924 as 2064.

And, it especially dazzles this time of year. Imagine servers welcoming your holiday party guests at the front door with glasses of champagne and trays of hors d’oeuvres. Your loved ones might stop in awe of the foyer’s curving staircase before flowing into the formal living room to mingle in front of the warm, oversized stone fireplace. Or, they can venture to the other side of the foyer where the formal dining room may be adorned with thoughtful charcuterie boards and delicate bites.

Gliding further into the stunning manor through large, eyebrow-arched doorways, other destinations for fun await. A mixologist could be shaking cocktails for your friends in the expansive wood-clad wet bar, which faces the bright family room with a handsome fireplace and a lovely wall of windows. Effortlessly connected to the gourmet kitchen around the corner, this is undoubtedly the heart of the home where everyone can feel at ease.

Year-Round Enjoyment

From Thanksgiving feasts to cozy days spent baking as a family, the kitchen is ready for all your special moments and to perform when it counts. A commercial-grade gas range, two dishwashers, a huge island, a prep sink, and plenty of counter space make it a culinary paradise. Come summertime, however, cooking on the nearby covered patio with a built-in, eight-burner grill station may become your favorite activity. While you grill and chat with friends, kids, and pets can run around on the spacious lawn. It even has room for a pool if that’s on your wishlist, too. 

Whether you’ve been entertaining all day or hard at work in the chic office, recharging in the primary suite will always be pure bliss. It sits on the second level, as do the other three bedrooms, but is tucked away separately and announced with its own vestibule. You can completely retreat here and relax as the sanctuary boasts a spa-worthy bathroom, two closets, tons of natural light, and soaring ceilings. 

If a timeless forever home for year-round joy is what you seek, this elegant University Park address near great schools, parks, and restaurants could be just the right find. Contact listing agent Susan Bradley of Allie Beth Allman & Associates at 214-674-5518 to set up a showing soon.
