Sophisticated Urban Retreat With Stunning Private Courtyards

A true oasis in the middle of the city! One block from Volunteer Park, this sophisticated home sits on a fully enclosed lot. The house opens front and back onto entirely private courtyards that feel like conservatories with mature gardens, stone patios, and a fountain. Redesigned in 1977 by landscape architect W. David Poot, this unique home provides both quiet refuge and a delightful entertainment setting. The main floor is roomy, comfortable, and flows seamlessly from end to end. The open kitchen features a large island, plentiful cabinets, walk-in pantry, and bar. French doors lead to a spacious sunroom overlooking the west courtyard. A large-scale living room with fireplace and glass built-ins opens onto the east courtyard. Upstairs, a generous suite with a half bath, walk-in closet, laundry, and a balcony with sunset and west courtyard views. A second guest suite features an en-suite bath and a garden balcony overlooking the east courtyard. The entire 3rd floor is a luxurious primary suite, with sweeping western views, balcony, fireplace, full bath with soaking tub, and walk-in closet. The flexible finished basement has a full bath, large closets, a large wine room, separate entrance, and plumbing for a kitchenette. Perfect for a home office, family room, guest quarters, or potential MIL suite. Gated entry, temperature-controlled storage, a one-car garage, and two additional parking spaces add to the ease of daily living. A spectacular and versatile in-city retreat.
