519 Dogwood Drive

Perched gracefully atop a gentle rise across from Westwood Park & an easy stroll from UNC lies a home that for decades has nurtured influential figures who helped shape the community. The current stewards of the property have done extensive updates with reverence for the architectural integrity & timeless sophistication, while modifying for modern living. The front of the home offers a welcoming foyer & a large living room with a charming fireplace & hardwood floors that run throughout the house. The updated kitchen has been opened up to the cozy den & enjoys stainless appliances that convey, & is steps from the dining room, perfect for hosting dinner parties in style. A lifestyle room gives flexibility to use as additional dining for large gatherings, as a keeping room, or as your needs desire. At the rear of the house there is a library/office & access to a main level bedroom & the elegantly redone full bath. The west wing of the home has been fully redone to accommodate another bedroom with a full bath that is separate from the main flow with an entrance through the laundry area or main house, & makes an outstanding home office or guest suite. Upstairs includes the handsome primary bedroom, a possible 4th bedroom, sitting & dressing room, or office, plus the snazzy full bath. The yard is thoughtfully landscaped, relying heavily on native trees, plants, and perennials for beauty & low maintenance. The stone path in the fenced backyard leads to quiet spots for relaxation & outdoor entertaining & matches the quaint front stone wall that adds charm & character. Terrific public schools, a quick jaunt to vibrant & eclectic Franklin Street, & just a few blocks to the UNC hospital complex. A notable home of comfort, location, & style.
