It’s all in the details

As if the above offerings weren’t enough to entice you, let’s take a closer look at the creative aspects that make this property one-of-a-kind.

Do you like lofts? Well, not only does the main floor feature a large one above the living space, the four bedrooms on this level do as well. Think of all the ways you could utilize space — cozy reading nook, a separate office, or a place to hide the chair that gets covered in your “not quite clean, not quite dirty” laundry.

Speaking of lofts, the lofty cathedral ceilings on the main floor are 22 ft tall. What’s the weather even like up there? You’ll be able to tell thanks to the skylights + ample tall windows in the space. If your version of outdoorsy is being in a cozy cabin, that’s the vibe here. Nestled on a wooded lot, the exterior is made from wood + stone. The theme continues inside with striking beams made out of roughhewn timber from Kentucky barns.

But if you really do love the outdoors, the multiple stone patios — yes, that’s plural — will brighten your tree-loving heart, and offer ample space for outdoor entertaining. The party continues with the walkout basement complete with a wet bar, fireplace, open rooms for livable space + spare rooms currently used as an office and bedroom.
