Stunningly remodeled and perfectly positioned on prestigious University Drive, this gorgeous 2-story is completely move-in ready! Every inch has been thoughtfully updated-from rich hardwood floors and fresh interior paint to designer lighting, custom tilework, and four beautifully renovated bathrooms. The home blends timeless character with modern flair, featuring three fireplaces, elegant mouldings, and charming built-ins throughout. Curb appeal abounds with a crisp exterior color palette and a brand-new front porch that welcomes you in style. Inside, the spacious main level offers a light-filled living room with fireplace and window seat, flowing through French doors to a cozy screened porch. The formal dining room is accented with classic chair rail and a convenient butler’s pantry/wine bar. The large eat-in kitchen boasts a stone fireplace, abundant cabinetry, built-in desk, and gas cooking—perfect for entertaining or everyday living. A full bath with laundry on the main level adds flexibility and function. Upstairs, retreat to the expansive primary suite with a spa-inspired en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and private martini deck. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a stylish full bath, and there's potential to expand into the attic for even more space. The finished lower level offers a huge family room with fireplace, a non-conforming guest room or home office, and the fourth full bath. Enjoy a level, fenced backyard with a firepit area, ideal for relaxing or gathering with friends. Located in the highly sought-after West Hills neighborhood atop Mount Oread, this home is just a short walk to KU Campus, Allen Fieldhouse, and Memorial Stadium.
