17015 Shakes Creek Dr

The French Country Chateau facade may give you a clue to the finely crafted design elements that await inside of the home. This custom built ranch with finished lower level will impress you at every turn. Upon entering you will notice the detailed trim work and mouldings that continue throughout the home. Built by Ron Wolford (who won the design award of the year for this home by the Louisville Home Builders Association in 2015 ) for the current owners every feature was carefully considered. The 9 and 10 foot ceilings, bamboo flooring, massive windows with views of the yard and woods beyond to name a few.... The open concept in the center of the residence with, living room, dining room, kitchen all flowing seamlessly together creates a delightful entertaining space and walks out to an expansive deck perfect for dining al fresco or enjoying the peaceful palate that nature provides. The kitchen is a chef's dream with high end appliances including 5 burner gas cooktop with downdraft vent, oven, refrigerator, microwave/convection, and dishwasher. Custom Shaker cabinets, open shelving made from reclaimed wood, Metallica honed granite counter tops and Carrera subway backsplash plus a gorgeous handmade breakfast bar give this kitchen an upscale flavor that is both tasteful and functional. The living room dining room have a wall of windows across the rear of the home that allow the outside in. A gas fireplace and built in bookshelves create a cozy space inside the larger scale of the space and room for a large dining table and console or breakfront is provided the dining area. The Primary Suite is equally impressive both in size and style. The bedroom has a high quality carpet with neutral palate and a barn door leading into the bath made from reclaimed wood (from a barn in upstate NY) The bath has a massive walk in shower with fabulous tile work, a custom vanity from Restoration Hardware and a soothing soaker tub. A large custom fitted walk in closet completes the Primary Suite. Two nice sized bedrooms and a jack and jill bath are on the opposite side of this split plan residence. The lower level was finished just two years ago. Twin Spires, LLC did the high end finish work. This is NOT your typical basement finish. Although not a walk out, the full sized windows and high ceilings give the feel of main floor living. But, the bar is off the chain amazing!!!!!! Rated one of the best home bars in Louisville, this bar was used by 1792 Bourbon in their advertising and featured in marketing materials for the builder as well and includes an ice maker, beverage center and microwave. The countertop is Carrera quartz and the backsplash is glass and Carrera tile with open shelving. There are two bedrooms and a spa like bath off the side hallway while the bar is open to an entertainment room/den and billiard room. The unfinished part of the lower level is expansive and provides not only abundant storage but room to finish more rooms if needed. The back yard which backs to the woods has a 20 ft round fieldstone patio that is perfect for fire pit nights!!!! This one will be gone in an instant.
