Where do we begin? Famed UGA basketball coach Hugh Durham built this remarkable home as his personal estate in 1979. Now offered by only its third owner, this Southern classic has been painstakingly restored and is simply breathtaking. Set on nearly 4 private acres, the property is accessed via a long, winding driveway from Old Jefferson Road, with additional access from Walton Creek Road. With AR zoning and no HOA, horses and stables are permitted. A circular driveway and side-entry two-car garage provide ample parking. Lush, opulent landscaping-fully irrigated by well-fed sprinklers-sets the tone as you enter "'tween the hedges," a nod to the original owner and UGA. A brick walkway leads to the double-balconied facade and welcoming grand foyer. Inside feels straight from the pages of Southern Living, featuring wide heart-of-pine floors, rich custom millwork, and deep moldings throughout. Formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer and flow into the expansive great room with a wood-burning fireplace and wainscoting. A wet bar with granite counters, sink, built-ins, and refrigerator nook sits adjacent, along with one of two main-level powder rooms. The chef's kitchen is accessible from the foyer, dining room, and great room, and features brick flooring and accents, marble countertops, high-end appliances, and custom built-ins. A second half bath and large mudroom/laundry room with abundant storage complete the main level. A full-length rear deck overlooks the inground pool and gardens. Upstairs, the owner's suite offers exceptional closet space and a spa-like bath with steam shower/sauna, deep Jacuzzi tub with its own water heater, and custom cabinetry. Two additional bedrooms and baths complete the second level. The upper balcony, accessible from the owner's suite or front bedroom, is ideal for morning coffee. The third floor features a large private suite with sitting area, bedroom, and ensuite bath. The terrace level includes an incredible in-law suite (approx. 1,500 sq ft per owner) with a full kitchen, walk-in pantry, second laundry, bedroom, bath, expansive living/sunroom areas, and a stone fireplace. French doors open to the patio and pool area. Outdoor spaces include curated garden "rooms," roses, peonies, fruit trees, raised vegetable beds with deer fencing, and easy-care irrigation. The pool and sprinklers are well-fed. Additional features: approx. 5,750 sq ft, four gas HVAC systems (three new with UV light), two gas water heaters, all windows and appliances replaced, recently inspected roof, and central vacuum. Truly remarkable in every way-be the one to make this exceptional estate your next chapter
