House #5 - Shakes Run
Forsyth Park
By Billy Doelker
Key Homes, LLC
 Old world charm meets the conveniences of a modern lifestyle in Key Homes' four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath traditional walkout ranch. Forsyth Park's cottage-style ambiance is the perfect complement to the home's corner lot and treed back yard. With 4,040 finished square feet, builder Billy Doelker gives owners plenty of space to enjoy a comfortable floor plan, with even more room to grow into unfinished spaces. On the exterior, beautiful red brick is highlighted with black shutters. Natural limestone, tan Hardie board siding and plenty of windows add casual elements to the home and celebrate its natural surroundings. The stone-accented porch welcomes guests with a courtyard-style entry and the arched wooden and glass double front door embodies the casual, elegant charm found within the home's interior.
Inside, a unique barrel-vaulted ceiling accented with brick face tile that travels down to the side walls makes a one-of-a-kind introduction to the foyer. Nearby, French doors announce a beautiful and spacious study. Just off the foyer, the dining room offers a perfect venue for family meals under a magnificent three-tray ceiling and chandelier. The relaxing green tones, crown moulding and high wainscotting remind guests that this is a special place to gather.
Beautiful oak hardwood ushers visitors through a grand opening that leads to the great room, where a coffered ceiling highlights the expansive space. A stone gas fireplace serves as a focal point of the room, anchored by two large windows that invite Mother Nature to play an important role in the design. Built-ins add to the custom look and feel of the great room, which is open to the kitchen and breakfast areas. The family chef will enjoy being able to easily interact with others within the convenient design of the kitchen, which showcases shades of soft yellow and sage mocha. A tiled backsplash adds more texture and style to the space, and a tiled accent on the beautiful range hood ties the artistic design together. Maple cabinets and granite countertops add just the right ingredients to this well-designed culinary retreat. An apron-front sink and beautiful hardwood continue the cottage-style feel of the home, and a spacious breakfast area offers plenty of window light and access to a peaceful covered deck.
Homeowners will enjoy incredible views of the backyard and proximity to the deck from the sitting area of the master suite. A unique hip-vaulted, bead board ceiling complements shades of blue within the sleeping quarters. A gorgeous master bath offers the perfect place to unwind after a long day. The tiled walk-in shower features dual heads and a freestanding tub that invites an elegant bathing environment. A large double vanity features brick tile and framed mirrors and is accented with oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. The nearby linen cabinet and large walk-in closet offer convenience and organization.
Two additional bedrooms feature spacious closets, large windows and share a Jack-and-Jill bath on the main level. The laundry room includes a built-in sink, cubbies and a hanging clothes rack.
Guests will certainly enjoy an invitation to relax in the lower level of Forsyth Park. A gorgeous bar topped with recycled glass and stone accents welcomes them to pull up a stool and enjoy the party. French doors announce the exercise room, which offers plenty of space to stretch with natural light from a large picture window filtering in during morning workouts. The entertainment and media area is THE place to play pool and watch the big game or settle in for a good movie on lazy weekend nights. A guest bedroom is also featured. The lower level walks out onto a patio overlooking the park-like backyard, where a fire pit is sure to host late night conversations with good friends and neighbors.
With room to finish additional space, Forsyth Park offers owners a chance to enjoy a comfortable space, with options to expand the living areas in the future. Key Homes has created an energy efficient, gorgeous retreat that provides a perfect backdrop for making many beautiful memories in the years to come.
