This One-of-a-Kind University Park Offering Could Be Your Dream Forever Home

While University Park has a myriad of beautiful properties to consider, a unicorn of a home just listed and it’s quickly, and rightfully, garnering major attention on the market. That’s because it’s incredibly rare to find a true double-lot in the fairway of University Park, which is exactly what 3516 Wentwood Dr. delivers.

As well as offering a pristine half-acre of coveted Park Cities land, which will only continue to appreciate in value, the address greets you with an effortlessly sophisticated abode that screams “forever home.” The sellers wanted it to be a place where both their friends and their kids’ friends would love to gather, which put fun and comfortability at the forefront. Traditional elegance, natural light, and inviting living spaces are in high supply at the 8,644-square-foot beauty, as well as exciting and unexpected amenities. So, let’s dive in!

Once you step inside, it becomes especially clear that anyone would be tremendously lucky to live here. After all, it has something for everyone: The lifelong movie buff or sports fan who wants to watch in style, the avid cook eager to make culinary memories with loved ones, the creative host who loves entertaining, and more.

Just imagine Saturday mornings spent making pancakes with your kids in the sunshine-filled chef’s kitchen before friends and family come over for a lively pool party. When guests arrive, you can lead them through the radiant interiors with lovely crown moldings and oversized windows out to the backyard oasis. A pool and spa, large patio, idyllic pergola, and covered patio with an impressive outdoor kitchen await whatever you have in store. 

Perhaps you’ve hired a private chef for the day to set a sumptuous, pampering tone. Guests can mingle and watch as they prepare lunch on the grill or serve up freshly crafted cocktails and lemonades, filling the air with delicious aromas.

If the weather turns or the mood does, bringing the party inside is no issue. The main level has a plush media room perfect for magical, popcorn-filled movie showings. Nearby, there’s also a game room, which is more of a destination for grown-ups. The sellers, inspired by the story of how they met, installed a stately wet bar there that looks and feels like a classic pub. With wood beams overhead and a carved fireplace, too, this space is sure to become a year-round favorite spot for your friends to gather for billiards and a cold pint after a long week of work. 

With all six bedrooms and a fitness room tucked privately upstairs, the lovely residence is both a sanctuary for luxurious fun and relaxation. The primary suite, of course, is the ultimate retreat. Once you get used to reading with a cup of tea by its gas fireplace, starting your day in the dual walk-in closets, and unwinding at night in the spa-like bath with a soaking tub, you’ll never settle for anything less.
