House #1 - Shakes Run
The Douglas Ann
by Dan Smith
Stonelake Homes, LLC
 The Douglas Ann offers homeowners a creative, peaceful retreat among its 4,484 square feet, with plenty of areas for families to enjoy time together and enough space for privacy as well. Stonelake Homes' traditional walkout ranch features three bedrooms and three baths and an open floor plan designed for today's active families.
Heritage grey architectural brick and Kentucky blend limestone highlight the exterior, along with quoine corners, paneled shutters and a gorgeous double arched wooden door. The two-car garage features built-in storage, a utility sink and refrigerator.
Inside, white oak hardwood with a coffee brown stain greets guests in the foyer. Nearby, a formal dining room features a beamed ceiling, crown moulding and classic columns, creating an elegant atmosphere where passing the gravy will most certainly be executed with much care and pride.
The breakfast room and kitchen showcase more of the beautiful white oak hardwood and offer a gorgeous backdrop for testing out favorite recipes. Tropic brown granite countertops complement the black forest stained cabinets and neutral-colored walls, offering a tribute to The Douglas Ann's natural surroundings. Of particular interest in the kitchen is a gorgeous buffet cabinet that adds personality to the space. A side-by-side refrigerator, advantium oven, warming drawer, and an induction cooktop with a wood mantle and stainless tile insert blend function with style.
The great room is announced with columns and an arched entryway with incredible views of the porch and backyard beyond. A see-through gas fireplace evokes a cozy, cottage-style feel and rope lighting within the hip vaulted ceiling accents the spacious area. The covered porch and adjoining deck create an outdoor escape that is sure to be a common gathering place for evenings by the exterior stone fireplace with friends and neighbors.
Recognizing the schedules of busy families on the go, builder Dan Smith added an organization station that also functions as a dry bar for the dining room. Homeowners will enjoy plenty of closet space and additional creative areas that make living in The Douglas Ann very functional and easy-to-maintain.
The master suite also enjoys the beauty of the backyard with access to the spacious deck. Within the neutral-toned sleeping area, a three-foot raised tray ceiling with wood beams gives a lodge-style feel in the bedroom. The master bath offers an ideal place to start or end the day, with a built-in TV, antique ivory cabinets, granite countertops and rich brown and smokey topaz shades. A spacious tiled and frameless glass shower features built-in seating, and the tub is elegantly positioned as a centerpiece of the bathing area. The large walk-in closet not only offers organization, but also is accessible from the laundry room, making it a few steps easier for getting those clothes into the washer. Two additional bedrooms are featured on the main level, one of which adjoins a wash and dressing room.
If the main level of the house is quiet, you can most certainly find family members downstairs enjoying a movie in the media room, a round of pool in the game area, burning calories in the exercise room or creating some imaginary fun in the kids' play room. Commanding center stage downstairs is a gorgeous wet bar that divides the entertainment spaces. A beautiful, three-sided fireplace, architectural columns and plenty of windows offer a relaxed, open feel. With access to the covered patio and beautiful backyard, the lower level is an ideal place to enjoy the home's many amenities. A cedar closet makes storing off-season clothes safe and easy, and plenty of additional storage space allows for more than enough room for all those Christmas decorations. Homeowners will also enjoy the audio and video home automation features of The Douglas Ann, which include AMX touch screen control.
Designed with many functional spaces that offer plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy life, this Energy Star and Green Build Kentucky-certified home is sure to host its share of many memorable happenings and noteworthy events in the future.
