1 The Evergreen

by Billy Doelker, Key Homes, LLC Set among the rolling hills and fountains of Locust Creek’s 325 acres, the 41st Homearama is produced by the Home Builders Association of Louisville (HBAL).

Once again the traditional summer event gives homeowners in all price ranges ideas for planning their own dream home in the future or incorporating those ideas into their existing homes.

If you’re making plans to build in the future, Homearama presents an ideal opportunity to get ideas or find a builder. However, you just might find what you’re looking for already built and waiting for you. ”There can’t be a better time than right now to buy a home, with interest rates so low. And if you’re in the market for a home with all the bells and whistles, a Homearama home is a great value considering all of the extras that are included,” HBAL President Rocky Pusateri said.

Homearama 2008 is a virtual playground for people of all ages, with spaces designed for making staying at home the activity of choice. All of the home designs are different. Some evoke a rustic, old world feel, while others reflect a modern, sleek look. Unique and functional floor plans offer homeowners both sophisticated places to entertain and casual areas in which to sit back and relax.

This year’s Homearama is like no other, with six out of the eleven builders experiencing their first Homearama. All are Builder Members of HBAL. Each of the builders (or their representatives) will be available during Homearama to answer your questions and explain the behind-the-scenes efforts of building the home. Here’s a sneak peak at what you can expect to see at Homearama 2008. ...

Build with a Professional.

Why Should You Use a Registered Builder?

Home equity accounts for more than half of the total net worth of the typical home owning family. In many cases, homeownership is the primary source of a household’s net worth and is the fundamental first step toward accumulating personal wealth. Most importantly, homes serve as the place where families live and grow on a daily basis. So, it makes sense to invest in a product built by a professional you can trust and is experienced with products and services that are reliable and proven. In Greater Louisville, those professionals are Registered Builders who are members of the Home Builders Association of Louisville (HBAL).

What is the advantage of choosing a Registered Builder?

By using a Registered Builder, you can be assured that the builder you’re working with meets specific requirements. A Registered Builder is not simply a title that can be purchased and displayed on company vehicles and advertising.

To be a Registered Builder, an applicant must: • Have experience in the home or commercial construction profession for a specified period of time • Have demonstrated financial and on-site responsibilities • Be a full-time professional who derives his or her principal income from construction and/or related real estate activities • Submit the names of previous customers as references • Have Registered Builder sponsors with personal knowledge of the applicant’s construction activity and business integrity • Have acceptable credit history

Triple The Value Of Your Tax Rebate

Towards The Down Payment Of A Home* Before becoming a Registered Builder, the builder must appear before the HBAL Registered Builders Committee for a personal interview. He or she must agree to take part in continuing education and to abide by the Code of Ethics of HBAL. All of these factors combine to provide you with an assurance that you are dealing with a professional who is dedicated to providing you with quality home building services.

Registered Builders have connections that can help you ...

Registered Builders also have a wealth of information at their fingertips. HBAL provides an education program that is unparalleled.

With an 80-hour curriculum taught by industry professionals, builders are better equipped with the tools they need to build better homes for their customers. As a member of HBAL, Registered Builders are automatically members of the Home Builders Association of Kentucky and the National Association of Home Builders. These three organizations combine to provide Registered Builders with an unmatched network of information on the latest in home construction techniques, products, codes, environmental issues, etc. In addition, they also have access to an established conciliation process. Should you have a complaint that you cannot resolve with your builder, HBAL will provide two of its Registered Builder Committee members to act as conciliators.

Do the research, and let HBAL help ...

HBAL offers prospective homeowners a local resource for finding out more information on how to achieve their American Dream of owning a newly-built home. With the association’s newly updated website, (www.hbal.com), homebuyers can search for new homes built

by Registered Builders, and research products, services and people who can help meet their homeownership needs. For more information, visit www.hbal.com.

For more information, contact HBAL at 4296000 or visit the website, www.hbal.com for a complete list of Registered Builders in Greater Louisville.

Every Homearama home has been built by a Builder Member of the Home Builders Association of Louisville.

The Evergreen

by Billy Doelker Key Homes, LLC 225-9434 www.keyhomesllc.com

The Evergreen evokes that same feeling you might have after a wedding reception. You’re all dressed up, still looking nice, but so glad to be home where you can kick off your shoes and sit back and relax. With plenty of areas to do just that within its 4,511 square feet, The Evergreen is a celebration all on its own, where it’s no doubt that ties will be shed and refreshments will be served for many years to come.

Billy Doelker’s thoughtfully designed 1.5 story walk-out home includes 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths and a three-car garage. The Evergreen is energy efficient to benefit the homeowners as well as the environment. Key Homes has partnered with Energy Pros to ensure it meets the standards of Energy Star’s highest rated level. Maintenancefree cedar shake siding, red brick, beige siding and brown and beige stone add dimension and texture as well as a traditional element to the exterior design. The covered front porch features arched brickwork and an oversized front door that anchors glass side lights under an elliptical transom. Beautiful landscaping continues around back, where the home features many incredible windows that give hints of the gorgeous interior within.

Oak hardwood floors greet guests in the foyer where columns and crown molding lend creative architectural details. A custom decorative lighting fixture beckons front porch visitors to take a closer look inside. French doors announce the study, which is accented by stained trim and a large window. Guests will be sure to keep their forks and stay for dessert in The Evergreen’s gorgeous dining room, which features more oak hardwood, an

impressive coffered ceiling and crown moulding.

The open design of the dining area welcomes easy transitions to the kitchen, staircase and great room, where a wall of windows invites Mother Nature to be the guest of honor. A gas stone fireplace offers a beautiful focal point and the decorative wood-cased openings blend function with sophisticated design under the sloped ceiling and paddle fan light fixture in the great room.

The path from the great room to the breakfast area is sure to be traveled frequently, with plenty of windows ushering in natural sunlight along the way. A three-sided stone fireplace ensures everyone is cozy in the incredible keeping room, where a cup of coffee and a good book are good enough reasons to spend Saturdays indoors. A back staircase is sure to provide an easy route for hungry kids coming down on a Sunday morning pancake mission. Outside the breakfast room is an incredible covered, screened deck that leads to a second spacious deck. The kitchen, keeping room and breakfast area all flow together to offer homeowners one large space designed for many functions.

The Evergreen’s spacious kitchen features contrasting cafe and mocha cream maple cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an island snack bar. A large walk-in pantry and plenty of counter space contribute to the functional design of an area that’s made for sharing time spent in the kitchen. Adjoining the kitchen is the laundry room and a convenient mud room, complete with a coat closet and shoe bench.

A private hallway leads to the master bedroom, which offers an ideal get-away-from-it-all retreat, with a beautiful bay window the major focal point of the sitting area. The hip-vaulted ceiling, paddle fan and recessed lighting add to the relaxed atmosphere. French doors lead to the master bath, which features his and hers espresso vanities and a spacious ceramic tiled shower with marble floor and decorative glass doors. A built-in linen closet and large whirlpool tub are also featured, in addition to a spacious walk-in closet.

A double staircase overlooks the great room area and leads upstairs, where three spacious bedrooms each include a walk-in closet. A raised sit-

ting area in one of them makes for an ideal study nook or play area. The upper level also includes two bathrooms, one serving as a private bath.

Friendly competition is sure to be the buzz in the lower level. Brick arches invite guests to explore the spacious recreation area, pool room, TV viewing area with surround sound and bar with a full-size fridge. French doors lead to a welcoming patio, and an exercise room offers homeowners a chance to stay in shape, with plenty of room to stretch.

The Evergreen is a home designed for busy families on the go, making the daily routines of life simpler and more enjoyable. The incredible amenities, spacious living areas and unique architectural elements contribute to the welcoming atmosphere of the home, where function makes way for fun among its many rooms designed for both privacy and plenty of opportunities to keep family and friends close.

The Chateau Baroqué

THE BEST TIME TO THINK ABOUT

SELLING A HOUSE

IS BEFORE YOU BUILD IT. And think about building with brick. Americans stay in their homes about 7 years. But whether you sell sooner

or stay three times that long, selling has a huge impact on your balance sheet. Brick homes appraise for more than similar vinyl-clad homes.

And your brick home will typically sell faster because buyers feel brick is

more pleasing, safer and easier to maintain. Definitely something to think about before you sign on the line.

among the developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 325 acres, where more than 400 single-family homes are planned. Numerous courts and cul-de-sacs offer the benefits of privacy and safe streets where parents can feel comfortable watching children at play.

The neighborhood currently features new homes in a variety of price ranges, from $450,000 to $1.5 million and more.

Carefully planned by CMB Development, Locust Creek has an established reputation for offering quality homes. The development previously hosted Homearamas in 2002, 2003 and 2004.

like area for field sports and a playground, there are plenty of opportunities to jump up and get going or just sit back and relax.

The continued growth of eastern Jefferson County and the development of new conveniences such as an upscale grocery and new elementary school make Locust Creek a popular choice for many.

Steve Carricatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.5 story traditional home includes 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths within its 4,427 square feet.

La Terrazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foyer showcases clean lines that lend a modern style to the elegant architecture and design.

Braxton Manor

by Al Bennett Al Bennett Builders, Inc. 643-6457 Your invitation has just arrived. It’s a celebration for no other reason than just enjoying the beautiful surroundings and amenities at Braxton Manor. It’s easy to imagine many such events at Al Bennett’s 5,100 square foot walk-out ranch. The beautiful home is traditionally designed and offers an ideal venue for elegant cocktail parties, casual Sunday brunches on the screened back porch or Friday night poker games. Braxton Manor blends traditional architectural elements with modern conveniences within its many inviting spaces. Built to the specifics of an Energy Star home, Braxton Manor is designed for fun, style and function, and features an inviting floor plan that includes 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths.

The warm chocolate brick, stone and stucco exterior immediately suggests this is a place where you’ll feel at home. The driveway features a decorative stamped border and apron, as does the walkway leading to the front entrance. A traditional-style fountain, an eight-foot arched mahogany and beveled glass front door and stamped concrete front porch give guests an elegant welcome to Braxton Manor.

Inside, an old world foyer features a faux finished reverse barrel ceiling and wide-planked, handscraped, distressed, hardwood flooring, with views of the great room just ahead. High ceilings and columns offer additional architectural details. Holiday meals are sure to be enjoyed in the dining room, under the unique custom ceiling that features a decorative medallion. Triple arched transom windows add plenty of natural light, and the wainscotting creates a formal place to gather. French doors lead to the study, which boasts a beautifully decorated coffered ceiling and intricate crown moulding. In the heart of the home, the fantastic great room features a floor-toceiling stone fireplace, exquisite crown moulding,

built-in book shelves and a paddle fan. A custom dry bar makes serving refreshments easy for busy hosts, and a built-in surround sound system gives homeowners even more reasons to entertain.

The distressed hardwood continues throughout and into the kitchen, which features 10-foot ceilings, beautiful crown moulding and custom maple cabinets with a caramel stain and black glaze. The kitchen island includes an organized and attractive area with glass cabinet doors and a raised granite countertop, in addition to a decorative tiled backsplash. Two ovens and a gas range cooktop and grill make it easy to fix straightfrom-the-grill burgers on cold, winter days. Warm yellow paint gives the area an inviting appeal. A beautiful chandelier highlights the breakfast area, which leads to an incredible screened porch that features maintenance-free composite decking, a Bahama ceiling fan and a comfortable area to enjoy warm summer breezes.

The master bedroom features a hip-vaulted ceiling and a beautiful angled gas fireplace with

a hanging flat screen TV. Serene blue and coffee brown shades create a homeowner’s retreat atmosphere, with a relaxing sitting area leading to the nearby deck. The master bath includes a 4 x 6 foot beautifully tiled shower with a choice of a traditional, handheld or rain shower head.

A ready-to-sink-into white pearl whirlpool tub is elegantly announced by surrounding columns.

Granite countertops and rustic bronze faucets highlight the bathroom vanity. Built-in linen cabinets offer plenty of room for bathroom essentials.

The two other bedrooms create ideal places for active children to lay their weary heads, with pirate themes and feminine touches on each side of the Jack-and-Jill bath. The powder room features an ornamental vanity, distressed wall coverings and a custom built-in corner cabinet with glass doors.

A wrought iron staircase offers an open invitation for guests to enjoy the incredible lower level, which includes a spacious billiards area and poker room that’s perfect for dealing late into the eve-

ning. A beautiful brick fireplace is sure to warm your heart. Impressive brick archways accent the downstairs areas. A custom 42-inch bar adds to the relaxed atmosphere, where guests can feel as if they’ve entered a small town movie theatre and downtown pub all in the same space. A full bath and bedroom make an ideal guest retreat. Nearby, the spacious exercise room features a large viewing window and plenty of room to work up a sweat. In addition, a safe room gives homeowners a place to go during inclement weather, or it can serve as a potential wine cellar. Outside the lower level is a spacious patio with an attractive outdoor living area.

With a unique floor plan that’s designed to be shared with family and friends, Braxton Manor includes all the cost-saving benefits of an Energy Star home, and the design of a space that makes the most of its natural surroundings and utilizes the behind-the-scenes technologies that keep the home safe, secure and a wonderful place to be enjoyed for many years to come.

Maison Rêve

by Jeremy McGraw Provident Homes, Inc. 445-3500 www.providenthomesofky.com

Maison Rêve is thoughtfully designed with classic European architecture and an attention for detail that certainly makes this a ”dream home” as its French translation suggests. Provident Homes’ 5,209 square foot home includes 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths and evokes visions of a French countryside retreat. Most notable on the front exterior is a swooped roof line that adds an elegant visual introduction, while a combination of rustic red brick and grey stone give the home depth and texture. A radius brick accent highlights a beautiful eight-foot beveled glass and solid wood front door, once again emphasizing the romantic French Country style.

Although the architecture suggests you’re on a European exploration, you’ll feel right at home in the comfortable foyer, where beautiful hardwood floors, hand-painted harlequin covered walls and crown moulding are featured in the welcoming area. Nearby, French doors open to a formal study that features a vaulted coffered ceiling and a triple window with an arched transom wrapped in detailed trim. Across the hall, the dining room suggests guests stay to linger and enjoy the elegant atmosphere, which is highlighted with a built-in china cabinet, wainscotting, a beautiful chandelier and a beamed ceiling.

A two-story great room features a double tray ceiling, paddle fan and decorative trim that surrounds oversized windows, which reflect the beauty of Maison Rêve’s natural surroundings. An arched top gas fireplace anchors the wall of custom

trim with a mantle that is flanked by built-in bookshelves and an entertainment center.

The natural beauty continues to shine in and around Maison Rêve. The hearth room is warm and inviting any time of year, with exposed beams that highlight the vaulted ceiling and a fireplace and hearth that’s built into a stone covered wall.

Just outside is a covered deck, where views of the water and fountains add to the European ambiance of Maison Rêve. In the spacious kitchen, an arched opening is positioned over the sink, making conversations with friends and family in the great room an easy dialogue. Granite countertops and hardwood flooring accent beautiful custom maple cabinetry and an angled kitchen island elegantly defines the culinary space. Professional appliances offer the chef just the right tools for preparing many dinner parties that are sure to come. A walkin pantry, desk hutch and spacious laundry room, with built-in lockers add organization and style to behind-the-scenes living.

A private foyer introduces the master suite,

which features a hip-vaulted ceiling detailed with custom trim and a water view through triple windows. French doors open to the master bath, which offers a spa-like experience with a beautiful soaker tub and spacious custom tiled shower, complete with a rainfall shower head and surrounded by frameless glass. Slate flooring and suede granite countertops complement the delicate design of his and hers vanities and the overhead chandelier. A spacious walk-in closet with a custom closet system give homeowners all the essentials, plus more, for enjoying their bathroom retreat.

The upper level features an open railed balcony overlooking the great room below with a beautiful view of the landscape beyond. Three large bedrooms offer plenty of room for the kids, while a nearby media room/children’s study with built-in desks, bookcases and a window seat leaves no excuses for uncompleted homework.

The lower level offers a virtual playground of activities for family members of all ages, including a spacious billiards area, open theater room

and wet bar. Exposed brick arches separating the theatre area from the billiards area contribute to the old world European feel of the home and give hosts an ideal backdrop for ensuring a relaxed, comfortable party atmosphere. A home gym with two large windows presents plenty of opportunities to get into shape. A guest suite with spacious closets and connecting bath offers out-of-town family and friends their favorite place to stay. The covered patio outside the recreation area is made for staying put and enjoying warm summer breezes. An additional raised patio features a fire pit for the cool fall nights.

Energy-saving building techniques and products make the Maison Rêve a comfortable and affordable home to heat and cool. The historic French County architecture and elegant design contribute to the attention to detail and creative use of space in this 1.5-story walkout that makes the most of its natural surroundings and offers homeowners an ideal retreat in which to relax and enjoy time together.

Casa del Lago

by Scott Yates Paragon Homes 594-0531 www.paragonhomeslouisville.com

Homeowners can look forward to many days at home, celebrating the natural beauty of The Casa del Lago’s lake view setting and incredible amenities that offer a unique blend of old world ambiance and modern conveniences. Thoughtful design and traditional details highlight Scott Yates’ 5,500 square foot 1.5 story walkout. The Casa del Lago includes 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths and a floor plan that is designed to offer homeowners an opportunity to enjoy open spaces and private getaways.

The Casa del Lago is a curbside head-turner, with beautiful landscaping and elegant architectural details that make it so unique. Quoine corners and keystones accent warm brown tones of brick and stone on the home’s exterior. A gorgeous double door rests under a palladian window, and anchors the covered front porch, creating a welcoming entrance to Casa del Lago.

The foyer opens to a beautiful two-story space, highlighted by oak hardwood flooring in a diamond pattern with inlaid granite. Gorgeous hardwood continues through many parts of the home. An art niche gives homeowners an elegant opportunity to showcase collectibles. The soft lines of the arched entryways remind guests this is a home that offers both sophisticated design and casual living spaces ideal for long visits with good friends.

The incredible dining room features more of the beautiful hardwood and a beamed ceiling that introduces a chandelier. Crown moulding, a chair rail and wainscotting add more formal details to create a room where hosts can be proud to serve Thanksgiving dinner. Just off the dining room and front hallway, additional arches lead to a spacious butler’s pantry with convenient access to a walkin pantry, offering plenty of space for everything a hostess might need.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with gorgeous European country-style cabinets in an ivory finish that complement beautiful granite countertops and

hardwood flooring. A large kitchen island is sure to be a popular gathering venue for casual weekday breakfasts or guests who enjoy helping with meal prep. A built-in planning desk offers an ideal location for making sure important bills and correspondence are taken care of on time. The breakfast area is flanked by arched entryways into the great room and offers access to a stylish covered deck where views of the water can be enjoyed.

The incredible two-story great room serves as the heart of the home, with oversized windows welcoming natural design elements and views of the deck and lake beyond. A beautiful, two-sided, stone fireplace serves as a focal point of the living space where a tray ceiling, decorative chandelier and hardwood flooring contribute additional design elements. A custom iron railing rests above on the upper level, lending more attractive visuals to this dynamic space. Just off the great room is a uniquely designed study that shares views of the two-sided fireplace and features a stone wall. In addition, the space also offers access to a spacious deck. A one-of-a-kind powder room includes a

converted chest for a vanity.

The master suite features a double tray vaulted ceiling and a gorgeous chandelier. French doors open to the master bath, which features a whirlpool tub and tiled shower. A vaulted ceiling, beautiful glass tiled walls, slate flooring, onyx granite countertops and cream-colored his and hers vanities contribute to the spa-like atmosphere of this master bath. A large walk-in closet gives homeowners plenty of room for clothing essentials.

A gorgeous open railed staircase leads to the upper level, where whimsical designs blend with functional spaces to create both privacy and shared uses for all family members. A spacious study loft features a built-in desk, creating an ideal place for kids to work on their homework, with beautiful window light coming in from the nearby palladian window. Loved ones are just a shout away in the great room and foyer below. The guest suite is designed in serene colors and features a private bath. An additional hall bath serves the other two spacious bedrooms where little girls can dream, play and grow in creative spaces designed for the young at heart.

Homeowners should be prepared for big crowds in Casa del Lago’s lower level, where a one-of-akind bourbon bar is certain to be a conversation starter. Reclaimed wood from a bourbon distillery creates a unique atmosphere for guests who appreciate a slow and smooth pour. Brick accents combine to give the lower level entertainment areas plenty of texture and old world character. Just outside is an incredible patio that features an outdoor kitchen area overlooking the lake, which offers a natural venue for warm weather socials and a perfect opportunity to take the party outdoors. A recreation area and media center provide plenty of reasons to stay inside, however, with beautiful spaces in which to sit back and relax. An additional bedroom and bath serve as an ideal guest suite.

Paragon Homes’ residential escape from reality recognizes a busy family’s need for privacy and plenty of areas to have fun. Designed for both work and play, Casa del Lago gives homeowners a fantastic place to relax and enjoy time together.

The Carinna

by Chris Osborne Deville Homes 244-2224 www.devillehomesinc.com

Even on a cloudy day, The Carinna offers homeowners the relaxing feel of a southwestern sunset, with rich red and warm gold tones highlighting its many open spaces. Chris Osborne’s 5,500 square foot walk-out ranch includes 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths and makes the most of its beautiful lot, with lake views visible from many areas of the home and a beautiful swimming pool in the back yard.

Offset by columns, the nearby dining room offers a magnificent introduction to the unique style and design of The Carinna. A large palladian window, tray ceiling, three-piece crown moulding and oak hardwood add formality to the dining room, while arched entries give a more relaxed feel.

Along the main corridor is a gorgeous study with French doors, a coffered ceiling and stained woodwork. With plenty of natural light pouring in through the palladian window, the study offers both the benefits of privacy and an open feel, making it an ideal getaway for homeowners who work at home or need some space for keeping family finances or projects in order.

Belle Maison

by Richard Miles Dogwood Homes 957-HOME www.dogwoodhomes.com Reminiscent of a countryside chateau, Belle Maison blends tradition with French elegance, giving homeowners something to write their European pen pals about. Richard Milesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 5,192 square foot 1.5 story home features 5 bedrooms and 5 baths and includes many details that make a house a home before it has even been lived in. In addition, this Platinum Level Energy Star home is built to save homeowners up to 50 percent on heating and cooling costs.

From the curb, architectural stone accents and quoine corners add dimension to the Country French exterior of Belle Maison. Guests wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind knocking twice on the double eight-foot arched door, which features crystal fluted glass behind a wrought iron overlay atop iron studs on the lower panels. The elegant front porch is anchored traditionally in the center of the home.

An upper level balcony and catwalk beckon

Wired for surround sound, the theatre room makes watching videos on the plasma TV seem like a trip to the movies. Three spacious bedrooms each feature detailed ceilings and creative uses for storage. Views of the great room and foyer give the second level more vantage points to appreciate the incredible spaces below.

Homeowners can enjoy the benefits of a night on the town right here at home in the Belle Maison.

Another large brick archway announces the open theatre/great room, which gives an additional reason to kick up your feet and relax on pizza and movie nights and enjoy the warmth of the stone fireplace. The spacious billiards area offers plenty of room to hit the eight ball in the side pocket and still watch the

game on the projection TV. There will be ”time enough for countin’ when the dealing’s done,” in the Texas Hold ’Em room, which is accented by triple windows with transoms and another bricked archway. A guest bedroom completes the lower level.
