About This Home

As of January 2026

Step into the storied elegance of 658 Nelson Drive, a graceful 1939-built residence nestled on nearly 1 acre of verdant lawn and shade in highly sought University Acres. Rich with heritage—complete with original “blue” prints—this home features stunning coffered ceilings, a bespoke downstairs pub, four bedrooms, an office, and three bathrooms. Modern updates are minimal, presenting a rare opportunity to reimagine this property as a dream Southern estate. Outside, the rolling rear lawn sets the stage for a resort-style vision: luxurious pool and pool house, outdoor kitchen, gardens, or even a custom guest cottage. With an unbeatable location and timeless charm, this is a canvas for your vision—where history and future meet.
