Colonial, Traditional

This stunning custom built estate, set on .46 acres in the coveted Volk Estates, is a rare opportunity to own a true legacy property in the best location University Park has to offer. Designed by renowned architect Richard Drummond Davis and built by Douglas Lueckemeyer in 1997, this timeless residence reflects the grace and elegance of classic Southern architecture. The home’s incredible curb appeal is defined by a symmetrical façade, grand double-height columns, expansive front porch with upper and lower galleries, and a gabled pediment—all hallmarks of the Southern Colonial Revival style. Accented with classic shutters, a central entry with sidelights and fanlight transom, and surrounded by flowering landscaping and manicured lawns, the home radiates hospitality and could easily grace the pages of Southern Living. Inside, the exceptional architectural details continue with soaring 11’ ceilings downstairs (10’ upstairs), wide-planked red oak flooring, and a layout built for both comfort and entertaining. The elegant floor plan offers spacious formal rooms, a large great room with built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace, and a gallery leading to a gracious backyard with room for a pool. The downstairs primary suite includes dual bathrooms and closets, with one closet featuring a secret door to the richly paneled library at the front of the home, with custom Mahogany paneling and a Gregor custom hand-carved mantle. Additional highlights include an oversized dining room, butler’s pantry, walk in pantry, wet bar, two offices, a cozy kitchen and breakfast area with knotty pine cabinetry and gas fireplace, plus a well-appointed laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find three generous bedroom suites, each with private bath, walk in closet and fireplace. The estate also includes a 3-car garage, abundant storage, updated HVAC systems, and recently replaced hot water heaters—all meticulously maintained. This is a generational legacy waiting for its next chapter in an A+ location.
