The inviting front porch features genuine Pennsylvania bluestone treads and flooring. The home opens up to a handsome 2-story entry foyer, with 10-foot ceilings, integrated 3 and 4-foot oak flooring, extensive millwork, and plenty of unique fixtures and furnishings. When asked about the outstanding chandelier, Wiley explained that it was purchased from Ralph Lauren and is crafted from genuine deer antlers. A ceramic deer sculpture on the far table brings the look together.
The den or office is an attractive, masculine space featuring stained pine paneling, hardwood flooring, solid stained pine doors, custom lighting, and all necessary electronic connections and ports.

In the kitchen, we see a return of the traditional decorative style, yet the space is completely customized with every possible convenience. It features handsome maple cabinets by Creative Kitchen & Bath, granite countertops, a black painted kitchen island with butcher-block top and a vegetable sink for easy food preparation. The appliances are professional quality. The six-burner Thermador range with tile backsplash, Subzero refrigerator, freezer and ice machine, Fisher and Paykel dishwasher and separate Asko dishwasher drawer make even the most ordinary kitchen tasks a true pleasure. In addition, the kitchen is equipped with a refrigerated Subzero vegetable and drink drawer, a Kitchen Aid trash compactor and built-in microwave. To the right of the food preparation area is a walk-in dish pantry and walk-in food pantry with an additional refrigerator.
Indeed, the house has an incredible flow, with the kitchen conveniently connected to the other major living spaces. One of the most inviting is the gorgeous breakfast area with hardwood flooring and French doors offering a view of beautiful rolling hills and four-plank fencing. Wiley commented, “This is my favorite room in the entire home. There’s something so peaceful and relaxing about looking out at gently rolling Kentucky Bluegrass. It would be wonderful to eat breakfast here and enjoy the view, or take your coffee out to the attached patio in warmer weather.”
Also accessible from the kitchen is a beautiful great room outfitted with a custom tongue and groove stained pine-beamed ceiling and an extra-large fireplace made of Kentucky Limestone. The entertainment center was custom-built for the space, and the room includes more gorgeous hardwood flooring and plenty of transom windows. A porch entrance is located off to one side, and it contains three built-in lockers for kids, two built-in closets, a bench seat, and a classic beadboard mud room with a half bath and dog/boot washing area.
