Tour of Homes: Todds Station Stunner
Designed to have a cottage feel on the outside, this home in Todd's Station sits on a beautiful 10 acre lot that perfectly reflects that warm, cozy aesthetic. With traditional grids on the windows and dormers painted to match the brick, this home feels intimate in spite of its over 8,000 square feet of space. The little barn to the side of the home was painted a lovely rose brown color and given a lean-to in order to make the front of the estate even more inviting.
Built in 2003, this home's original owners have recently decided to list it for sale. The family's primary objective for building the home was to give themselves, their children and their pets space to create their favorite places. The family always had their eyes on functionality and comfort while building this lovely house.
With no traffic and plenty of greenspace, this lot offers tons of outdoor fun for family and guests alike. The long driveway is perfect for children riding their bikes and playing in a safe space while the spacious yard is perfect for entertaining.
The foyer was designed not to be a tower or big, open hallway, but instead a warm, inviting walkway to the rest of the house. Open archways achieved this, offering pleasant visual curves and wonderful flow in the space. The archway beneath the stairs features a wrought iron configuration specifically designed by Kentucky Ornamental Iron to hold a unique piece with Chinese characters that mean "Double Happiness".
The dining room features a beautiful eggplant suede-look wall paint that offers elegance set against the patterned wallpaper.
Archways are a consistent part of the home's architectural design, softening the appearance of the spaces. The distressed oak flooring offers instant warmth to every space in the home, particularly when set against the rich hues of the walls. Custom cabinetry in the home offers built-in shelving in many areas; accentuated here in white, the shelves give a light and airy feel to these rooms.
A piano room was built for the family's three children to practice and entertain. The painted texture of the walls gives this large area a cozy feel.
The home's "pocket office" opens up into the kitchen and houses the pantry. Artistic Wood of Kentucky, Inc. created custom shelving and cabinetry for this area in a rich wood that complements the flooring.
The foyer features a barrelled ceiling to carry on the cottage feel of the home's exterior.
While many areas of the home are quite spacious, rich hues and wood trim make the spaces feel much more intimate. The addition of a fireplace in this living room space creates a focal point for the whole family to congregate around in a space ideal for conversation and entertaining.
American Residential Technologies created a unique lighting configuration that is warm and inviting, as well as a technology system that is equally sophistocated and user-friendly.
A massive walk-in closet offers tons of storage and ideal organization. An island makes getting ready in this closet easy and accessible. The master bedroom continues the barrelled ceiling effect seen in the home's foyer.
The spacious kitchen features seating at the bar and a breakfast table. There is a butler's bar just off the kitchen for ease of access for the outdoor spaces. Creative Kitchen & Bath designed the cabinetry in the home's kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room.
The home's media room features a 106" screen, cozy seating, a card table and a kitchenette. Not only can they enjoy movies, sporting events and television on the screen, but they have also hooked up gaming consoles to the system, as well.
For entertaining purposes, the family has three outdoor patios. One is a screened-in porch off the kitchen that leads to the second, an outdoor patio on the back of the house. The third patio is beside the pool. The pool can be heated, making it a great escape even if there's a slight chill in the air.
