With generous interior spaces and a fully enclosed private courtyard, the home offers exceptional privacy and ease of living. Hardwood floors span the main level, complemented by fresh interior paint and timeless finishes throughout. Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant, well-proportioned spaces for gatherings and everyday living, while the inviting family room features custom built-ins, a gas fireplace, wet bar, and direct access to the private courtyard—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The updated kitchen is anchored by a generous conversation island and includes stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, and sun-filled windows. A striking central staircase adds architectural presence, while a secondary rear staircase enhances flow and functionality throughout the home. Upstairs, the layout offers exceptional flexibility with two spacious primary suites—one equally suited as a bonus room, private guest retreat, or executive home office—along with two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. The primary suite features a luxuriously renovated bath, designed for a refined daily experience. Recent improvements further elevate peace of mind, including a new roof, two new HVAC systems, and refreshed exterior trim and woodwork. This SouthPark home is defined by thoughtful updates, functional elegance, and long-term ease of living. A comprehensive list of system and infrastructure improvements completed within the past two years is available.
