Summercrest is a home created for families on the go, designed to make life's daily routines simpler and more enjoyable. Amid its 4,688 square feet, the elegant 1.5 story is sure to host many pool parties and celebrations.  With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, it’s equipped with plenty of space to sit back and relax with family and friends.

Passersby will undoubtedly notice the beautiful combination of brick and stone, which highlight the front exterior.  Solid wood and beveled glass arched front doors announces Summercrest’s main entrance under a spacious covered porch. Around back, the sounds of poolside fun encourage guests to bring their suits and join the party.

The entry foyer features 12 foot ceilings and archways leading to the great room and formal dining space.  Beautiful hardwood flooring, stained on-site, escorts guests thru Summercrest’s many open venues.  A beamed ceiling, inset with bead board, casts elegance within the great room, where a stone fireplace, flat screen TV and a wet bar offer an ideal entertaining space. The open design leads to the kitchen and breakfast room, creating an intimate, resort-style atmosphere in a home where every day is a vacation.

Big enough for more than one chef, the kitchen offers a great opportunity to team-up in preparation of family meals.  Custom cabinets and a mix of Corian and granite countertops, along with a professional grade gas range and Energy Star appliances offer the feel of both showroom design and the convenience of being able to prepare gourmet meals at home.  The family entrance to the 3-car garage features ceramic tile and includes built-in cubbies with electronic docking stations, a large walk-in pantry and a spacious laundry room. 

Both the breakfast area and great room feature French doors leading to a spacious screened porch, where hungry swimmers can enjoy their lunch under the cool shade.  For more formal occasions, guests will remember their manners in the dining room, where beautiful design sets the scene for elegant cuisine.

Just off the entry foyer, is a private entrance to the master suite, where more of the beautiful hardwood is featured and a hip vaulted ceiling is accented with rope lighting.  The master bath offers an oasis to tired homeowners who need an escape.  The vaulted ceiling features a beautiful chandelier, and a custom cast glass window shines light on the spacious shower and tub.  A large walk-in closet includes custom shelving. 

Stonelake Homes’ thoughtful design continues on the second level with a study/reading loft.  Two bedrooms with spacious walk-in closets and shared access to a bathroom feature designs that are sure to impress both the girl and the boy in the family.

The party continues in the lower level where a spacious game room and media area combine to offer homeowners of all ages plenty of room to enjoy time together. Reclaimed brick from a pre-Civil War home in Spencer County, featured on the columns and behind the bar, is sure to be a common conversation starter. Two additional bedrooms designed for boys each include walk-in closets. A wet bar area makes refreshing drinks by the pool a breeze, with convenient access to the outdoor entertaining space.

The incredible amenities, spacious living areas and unique architectural elements contribute to the welcoming embrace of Summercrest – a home where Dan Smith has ensured that function makes way for fun among its many rooms designed for both privacy and keeping family and friends close.
