A bank of bookcases and cabinets house games and collector pieces in the family room, with the eating area and gallery kitchen rounding out a comfortable family retreat. The kitchen has recessed lighting, built-ins, and a convection oven.

What is important here? The established University Park community offers top flight schools, a close in well connected location, and a regional park close by. Evaluating the price versus the assets of ample square footage, a workable floor plan, appealing design, and 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, makes this an interesting option in the market.
Who will move in? A family with teens who need a comfortable family living area, top schools, enough bedrooms, backyard space, and ample parking out front will see the possibilities here. Someone else choosing the University Park location might welcome the space and design options as they develop the greenhouse appeal of the home and make good use of its entertaining potential.
