Welcome As President of the Home Builders Association of Louisville it is my pleasure to present Homearama Shakes Run and Poplar Woods; your first chance to tour several Green Build Kentucky certified and Energy Star rated homes. I am extremely excited about this year’s event as we host Homearama in two distinctively amazing communities in Shakes Run and Poplar Woods. Both of these communities offer unique price points and home styles and stand out as conservation minded communities. I am also excited about this year’s sponsors. Our presenting sponsors are LG&E and E-ON Company and Insight Communications. Our official sponsors are PC Building Materials and Republic Bank. This year’s event began with the end of last year’s. A full twelve months of effort have gone into making this event one that you won’t soon forget. I would like to offer my personal gratitude and thanks to the builders, designers, subcontractors, and Canfield Development Company for a job well done. They have all worked together to pull off an amazing show. On the behalf of the Home Builders Association of Louisville, I welcome you to Homearama Shakes Run and Poplar Woods. Sincerely,

Richard Miles President Home Builders Association of Louisville

Welcome to Homearama 2009 at Shakes Run and Poplar Woods. These are two very impressive neighborhoods. Each has employed conservation practices into their design with significant permanent open space for use by residents. Please take note of this while you are there. The stars of this years show are the homes and you are about to experience the first Green Build Kentucky homes built in Louisville and Oldham County. This years event showcases two distinct price ranges of the homes by neighborhood and should provide all with the current trends in green home building and all things Homearama. Please enjoy Homearama 2009 and we look forward to seeing you in 2010! Sincerely,

All but one of the homes meets Energy Star standards and each demonstrates how local builders are creating energy-efficient homes built for comfort and cost-savings without skimping on innovative, breath-taking designs. Many of the homes are Green Build Kentucky certified homes. Why Should You Use a Registered Builder?

What is Energy Star?

Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Products that meet Energy Star requirements save homeowners money and help protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. By choosing an Energy Star rated home, owners can save a third or more on their energy bills.

All of the Homearama builders are members of the Home Builders Association of Louisville (HBAL). What does that mean? It means that each of the builders has met a strict list of requirements that ensure buyers are dealing with a professional who is dedicated to providing them with quality home building services. It also means that if you choose a Registered Builder to build your home, you're investing in a house built by a professional you can trust and one who is experienced with products and services that are reliable and proven.

What are the requirements of a Registered Builder? 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 What is Green Build Kentucky? Green Build Kentucky is a new state wide program based on the National Green • Submit the names of previous customers as references Building standards and Energy Star. Homes certified by a third party verifier as • Have Registered Builder sponsors with personal knowledge of the applicant’s construction activity and business integrity Green Build Kentucky homes have incorporated environmental considerations and resource efficiency into every step of the building and development process. • Have acceptable credit history Green Build Kentucky is comprised of seven energy-saving guiding principles, Before becoming a Registered Builder, the builder must appear before the including: HBAL Registered Builders Committee for a personal interview.

Poplar Woods is regarded as a "conservation community." Located in Oldham County on Highway 42 in Goshen, just north of the Goshen Store, the incredible 203-acre development features 93 estate size lots and more than 108 acres of permanent open space. Every lot backs up to wooded open areas, creeks or a lake. Inspired by the natural beauty of the land and a desire to preserve and enhance it, Canfield's team of landscape architects, contractors and engineers planted more than 2,500 trees, all of which were at least 12 feet in height and many that were as tall as 35 feet. In addition, many low-to-the-ground bushes and ornamental trees were planted to provide for wildlife corridors. A studied approach on how Mother Nature might have enhanced the area was implemented, with

numerous like varieties planted together. Many open meadows were preserved, and natural limestone boulders were added to define and protect defined spaces. A gorgeous pond was created to employ methods to replenish the ground water table and ensure proper water bio retention. Various soil types were left in place, and natural slopes and high points were preserved to maintain the natural lay of the land. With Highway 42 recognized as an official scenic byway, Poplar Woods adds another landscape for passersby to admire, with black board fences and homes positioned at least 150 feet from the road. The careful planning of this development allows for homeowners to experience the true potential of the land and enjoy homes specifically designed to make the most of their natural surroundings.

Bella Casa offers homeowners plenty of reasons to celebrate amid its 7,500 square feet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it's a bottle of red or an extra serving of tiramisu, there are exquisite rooms in which to indulge and enjoy the incredible beauty of the Italian-style home. The beautiful front exterior showcases a unique application of stucco over brick, giving the home an aged, old world appearance. A massive turret with three windows will inevitably turn heads of passersby who might check their GPSs to make sure they're in Goshen instead of old world Italy. The gorgeous 10-foot wrought iron arched door claims its own share of attention within a covered porch entry that is topped with a copper gable. CASTLEBUILT HOMES' one-and-a-half story, six-bedroom creation has five-and-a-half baths and a floor plan that's meant to be enjoyed. Chiseled travertine and hand scraped hardwood anchor most of the home's interior floors. The twostory foyer offers a friendly Italian-style welcome, with views of a faux finished dome ceiling and a gorgeous spiral staircase that features custom steps made from concrete and risers inlaid with a diamond travertine pattern. Just up a few stairs, is an offset study which is highlighted with a coffered stained wood ceiling. Extra tall wainscotting, a beautiful window and French doors add continued elegance to the unique space. Just off the foyer, the dining room features more of the travertine and a barrel arched alcove. Nearby, is a wine bar within a gallery space that transitions to the great room through arched entryways. A two-story, stone, see-through fireplace separates the space from the hearth and kitchen areas. A metallic faux finished tray ceiling features rope lighting and casts a sunset glow within the great room. Exquisite trim and hand scraped hardwood add additional textural elements. Just beyond the windows and large sliding glass door

is a covered porch that features a bowed custom iron handrail and travertine flooring. The breakfast room offers beautiful views of the wooded creek area and showcases built-in banquette seating and a coffin tray ceiling. The marinara can cook all day long in the incredible kitchen, which features a large chocolate-colored island and black cabinets that continue the old world nostalgic feel. The openness of the culinary space will provide easy getaways for mischievous kids who spy a plate of freshly baked cookies on the granite countertops. A spacious mud room features built-in cubbies and a bench that add organization and style. Nearby is the spacious laundry room, and just outside is a covered stoop area. The master suite features a unique entry announced with beautiful hardwood flooring. A private master foyer serves as a segue to a mirrored dressing area, complete with custom cabinetry and his and hers walk-in closets. Arched entries lead to the master bath and sleeping quarters, where a one-of-a-

kind arched ceiling is highlighted with a hammered copper finish. A window seat and a private, screened porch that has access to the adjoining family porch allow homeowners to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings of the Bella Casa. The master bath is like a trip to the spa, with a large walk-in shower with dual heads, his and hers vanities and a beautiful tub. A domed ceiling adds elegance to the space. Up the gorgeous staircase, family members can enjoy views of the foyer and great room from ironrailed balconies. Two raised bedrooms offer private baths, and two additional, extra large bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The lower level offers plenty of space the whole family can enjoy, including a home theater, full gym and hearth area with a cozy fireplace. A custom sauna gives owners added incentives for working out, while the circular, brick wine tasting room provides an ideal place to unwind. The lower level continues the Bella Casa's masquerade as an Italian-style villa with barrel arched ceilings, stained concrete flooring, brick walls and plenty of

areas for entertaining. A guest suite offers an open invitation to visiting friends and family. The recreation area walks out to a beautiful courtyard with a masonry fireplace, providing an intimate atmosphere for taking the party outdoors. Builder Brian Arnold shares his vision of old world Italian architecture with homeowners who like to entertain and who value a stylish and functional floor plan that makes everyday living more organized and enjoyable. The Bella Casa offers an escape from the ordinary into a home that blends classic design, creative use of space and an appreciation for nature with plenty of opportunities to celebrate.

Maison de Famille

by Jeremy McGraw

Provident Homes 238-8200 www.providenthomesofky.com

With head-turning curb appeal, the Maison de Famille offers passersby plenty of reasons to admire its stunning, one-of-a-kind exterior and to imagine what creative treasures lie within the home's 7,700 square feet. Provident Homes has created a spectacular oneand-a-half-story, five-bedroom home, reminiscent of a French countryside estate. A circular drive offers a formal introduction to the stone entry and arched top mahogany front door. The stone continues to lend complementing textures to the brick exterior by highlighting a massive chimney, front gable and retaining walls. The historic French nostalgia is accented with a charming cupola and old world-style windows. Beautifully positioned on a corner lot, the Maison de Famille offers as many inviting details all around its exterior, including a quaint courtyard patio and koi pond, a 20 x 40 built-in pool, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit and a screened back porch. Visitors will be pleased to discover as many unique points of interest within. An incredible twostory spiral staircase captures the eye at first glance, with intriguing views of the great room competing for attention. Beautiful hardwood is introduced in the foyer, which continues into a nearby study, where homeowners will most certainly want to get down to business and enjoy the gorgeous stone fireplace and the elegance of the detailed ceiling, high wainscotting and built-in bookcases. A half bath is conveniently located just off the study, as is a very unique and tranquil prayer room, which is highlighted with a gothicstyle window. The dining room presents an open invitation to grand celebrations with its gorgeous chandelier, builtin cabinetry, decorative trim, window nook and art niches. A butler's pantry makes hosting easy with a built-in coffee maker and convenient access to the kitchen. A wet bar offers guests a chance to freshen

their drinks before entering the incredible great room, which features a 13-foot high, 15-box coffered ceiling, plenty of crown moulding, wainscotting, builtin bookshelves and a stone fireplace flanked by two eight-foot sliding doors that lead to the back patio. Custom trimmed arched entryways announce the kitchen and hearth room, which both feature more of the beautiful hardwood. Granite countertops are beautiful companions to the maple cabinets and butcher block top island. High-end kitchen appliances lend a modern element to the classic design of the kitchen. A beamed ceiling announces the hearth room, where another fireplace and flat screen TV invite family members to sit down and talk about their day. Convenience and style continue with five full baths and two half baths, a built-in elevator and a utility room that features a computer desk. Man's best friend is sure to appreciate the built-in dog washing area in the three-car garage. A private entry ushers homeowners to their master suite, where a peaceful sitting area and access to the

screened porch create a private retreat. Extra trim and a beamed ceiling add elegance to the space. The master bath features beautiful ceramic tile, a walk-in shower, corner tub and his and hers vanities. A large center island, two walk -in closets, one with its own washer and dryer, offer additional conveniences to the master suite. The upper level of Maison de Famille showcases creativity through the eyes of a child with a cowboythemed bedroom, complete with a hay loft, and a children's media room that's designed to make learning and playing at home a kid's first choice for fun. Another bedroom is designed especially for little princesses who like to dress up, and an additional bedroom will keep baby having sweet dreams for many years to come.

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.

The Eliza Kate

by Joe Kroll

Joe Kroll Builder, LLC 419-4325 joekrollbuilder.com

Reminiscent of a French countryside estate, Joe Kroll's one-and-a-half story walkout offers homeowners the feeling of being miles away from everyday pressures without the long cross-country plane ride. The head-turning exterior suggests The Eliza Kate offers many more intriguing details within its 6,786 square feet. An incredible stone covered entry commands center attention with a six-foot arched iron door with window lites. Water table brick in rich shades of brown and grey highlight the numerous architectural details of The Eliza Kate, and cast stone is showcased above several windows. A copper accented gable adorns a bay window, lending a majestic feel to the front exterior. Old world style shutters and creative stone patterns offer additional European design influences. The six-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath home is gracefully positioned on a three-quarter acre lot with plenty of open space as a perfect backdrop to its countryside ambiance. Inside, a semi-barrel ceiling with rope lighting welcomes guests to The Eliza Kate's foyer, which features beautiful hardwood, crown moulding and a high ceiling. A unique tray ceiling highlights the dining room where a divided lite window invites the sunset to formal dinner parties. Columns, crown moulding and a gorgeous chandelier add continued elegance to the space. Located just off the foyer is a magnificent study that showcases a cove ceiling. Columns introduce the incredible great room where family members will inevitably choose to celebrate many holidays and special occasions. The back wall showcases open views of the beautiful landscape beyond and access to the covered porch, which features a steel rail and tile flooring. An octagon-trayed ceiling, crown moulding and more gorgeous hardwood offer classic design elements within the great room, which also includes

a magnificent tiled fireplace that provides the perfect excuse to snuggle up with a good mystery on a lazy afternoon. The open floor plan of The Eliza Kate adds a casual element to the elegant design, offering plenty of opportunities for families to spend time together, whether someone is preparing dinner in the kitchen, completing work in the breakfast area or tuning in to television in the hearth room. There's room for more than one chef in the gourmet-equipped culinary space with a double island that invites plenty of helpers to help slice a baguette or two. Custom Amish cabinets contribute to the French country style, while professional appliances suggest a modern approach to preparing those long-held family recipes. The beautiful fireplace in the hearth room creates a relaxing area where family members can share the Sunday morning paper and appreciate the gorgeous views outside. A breakfast room creates an ideal venue for weekend brunches or casual everyday dinners and offers access to the nearby covered porch. The mud room features cubbies and built-in benches and segues into the spacious laundry room, which includes a sink, folding area and hanging rod. The master suite is accessible from a private hall-

way off the great room. The sleeping quarters features a hip vaulted ceiling, paddle fan and a gorgeous backyard view through a large picture window. A spacious walk-in closet contributes to organized storage and helps in deciding what to wear each morning. Double doors lead to the master bath, which showcases beautiful tile on the floors and within the shower. Granite countertops define the double vanity and an elegant tub is artistically tucked within a tempered glass window bay. A wrought iron open-railed staircase ushers the imagination of curious guests eager to discover many more intriguing details throughout the rest of the home. The upper level of The Eliza Kate offers a creative exploration into additional spaces where families can rest and play. A built-in bookcase in the hallway makes bedtime story selections more accessible and a raised bedroom offers a unique area that can be used as a children's media room or in-law suite, with its own bathroom. The adjoining private balcony offers an additional perspective of the backyard and a relaxing area to sit back and enjoy warm summer breezes. A nearby bedroom features a private bath and a raised walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms feature walk-in closets and share a Jack-and-Jill bath.

Greystone Manor

by Dan Swigart

Fine Home Builders, LLC 243-8686 finehomeslouisville.com

At first glance, Greystone Manor appears to have been transported from another time and place and gracefully positioned on exactly the right lot in Poplar Woods. It stands majestically on a small hillside, with its stone exterior embodying the regal elegance of an old English-style cottage estate. The five-bedroom, 7,789 square foot walkout ranch showcases classic roof lines, and an abundance of old world details, including gable vents, cypress shutters and copper accented roof vents. The gorgeous wrought iron door suggests Fine Home Builders has created many more incredible discoveries within. A barrel-vaulted ceiling in the foyer continues the old world feel, with beautiful wide plank, hand distressed hickory hardwood flowing into the spaces nearby. An arched picture window highlights the dining room, which includes a chair rail, crown moulding and recessed panel, sixfoot-tall wainscotting. A butler's pantry offers a convenient transition to the kitchen. In the great room, another large arched picture window offers a commanding design element, ushering in natural light and casting an elegant glow within the space. A marble gas fireplace adds more ambiance and warmth, while the beamed vaulted ceiling continues the English cottage design. Arched entryways lead to an inviting gathering space that showcases a gorgeous masonry fireplace and a unique, random laid slate tile floor. Large windows draw the eye outside to appreciate the outdoor entertaining area, which includes a fireplace, full kitchen, patio and pergola, through which one enters the lush tree-canopied back yard.

Shakes Run is located off Shelbyville Road on Eastwood/Fisherville Road in East Jefferson County and features a beautiful clubhouse, a resort-style pool with whirlpool spas, fountains and a children's fountain play area, a fishing lake and 70 acres of open space with walking trails and several creeks. Shakes Run includes several distinct villages and 484 large wooded lots, with most of the lots backing up to woods, lakes, creeks or open space. Homes start at $450,000, offering owners in this price range an incredible value considering the quality craftsmanship of the homes, the country club-style atmosphere and convenient location. Home sites and roads were planned around the land's natural ridge lines, and

many existing stream beds and valleys were left untouched. As a result, nearly 30 percent of Shakes Run is open space and vegetated areas. Hundreds of trees taller than 35 feet were brought in and ponds have been added to enhance the existing beauty of the land and preserve the natural resources.

Telfair House

by Terry Lloyd

Terry Lloyd Traditional Homes, LLC 245-4427

Beautifully situated on a large corner lot, the Telfair House borrows Mother Nature's color palette for a unique combination of canary grass colored brick accented by dark brown shutters and trim. Designed by traditional home architect Jonathan Miller, whose homes have been featured in Southern Living and New Old House magazine, the 2,400 square foot ranch features a dental mould soldier course and bullnose accents on the front porch stairs and window sills. A gorgeous eight-foot arched wood and glass front door is flanked by oversized shutters, offering a gracious welcome to visiting friends and family. Copper accented dormers and the columned front porch give a traditional feel to Terry Lloyd's three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home. A 12-foot ceiling and an impressive display of crown moulding are showcased in the seven-foot wide foyer. Recycled antique wide-planked hardwood and arched entryways with intricate trim accents announce a formal entry hall that ushers guests down a beautiful corridor leading to the Great Room. Old world furnishings and coach lights contribute to the traditional feel of the unique pathway. French doors present a creatively designed bedroom/study that features built-in bookshelves and a window that overlooks the front porch. A bedroom and bath are located just off the entry hall, which continues the traditional feel of a home that's meant to be enjoyed. A furniture alcove offers an ideal location for an antique hutch or serving station for guests to freshen drinks or enjoy appetizers. Wide-planked hardwood continues into the great room, where a granite wood burning fireplace with a gas starter adds to the nature-inspired design elements. An eclectic combination of traditional furnishings interpret the space where red accents combine with earthy tones of brown, black and green. A built-in surround sound system makes watching a movie seem like the real thing. A traditionally styled

mantle and custom built-in shelving with stained bead board garner applause from even the most discriminate craftsman. Classic architectural details and lighting create a casually elegant environment where homeowners can enjoy spending quality time with each other. Just outside is a covered porch area that features a stained bead board ceiling, paddle fan and outdoor speakers. The porch overlooks a beautiful backyard where a sandstone boulder retaining wall blends with the natural surroundings of the Telfair House. In the kitchen, homeowners will be eager to try out new recipes with their professional level appliances. The cabinet bases have a black rubbed-through finish topped with light colored granite countertops. Creamcolored upper cabinets offer contrasting tones, and a large island provides plenty of room for chopping fruits and vegetables. Nearby, a casual dining area is tucked within its own alcove, where a cup of coffee and the Sunday paper can be enjoyed under a canopy of natural light from the windows that surround. Just

off the dining area, five-foot bead board ushers homeowners to a mud room where a built-in bench and chalkboard organizing station make coming and going more efficient. Just off the mud room is a half bath and laundry room with a built-in sink and folding area. The master suite features a private entry and a relaxing place to settle down for the night. Double French doors lead to the master bath, which is anchored with carrera marble and highlighted with blue tones. A cast iron pedestal tub steals the spotlight and is sure to host many good long soaks in the future. Granite countertops, picture-framed arched mirrors, built-in cabinets with seeded glass and chrome fixtures adorn the double vanity. A frameless glass shower door also contributes to the spa-like feel of the space. The large walk-in closet with built-in shelving keep homeowners organized on busy weekday mornings.

Wiltshire Manor

by Renotta Henson

Victory Home Builders 241-0215 victoryhomebuilders.net Inspired by the quaint historic ambiance of a local church in Pewee Valley, Victory Home Builders, LLC has created a 3,678 square foot walkout ranch that embodies a graceful, nostalgic elegance sure to prompt passersby to stop for a moment of peaceful reflection. The American Gothic style design includes five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, with intriguing exterior details that contribute to Wiltshire Manor's head-turning curb appeal. In shades of taupe, red and brown, the home's brick and limestone exterior combines with Gothic-style windows and an eight-foot round mahogany front door to present an extraordinary welcome to friends and family. Recycled hardwood in the foyer introduces guests to a home that's thoughtfully designed with an open floor plan that indulges plenty of entertaining. Incredible Gothic windows accent the dining room, which is highlighted by a faux finished cloistered ceiling with a sanctuary-style influence. A gorgeous chandelier adds elegance and style to a space that is sure to host many family celebrations. Arched entryways usher guests into the great room to mingle by the glass-wrapped, three-sided, see-through fireplace and appreciate the beautiful 12-foot coffered ceiling with stained beams and spacious gathering area. Just outside is a welcoming covered deck. With convenient access to the gourmet kitchen, family members can always know what's cooking. Recipes, both new and passed down from generations, will find a comfortable home in the kitchen, which showcases modern technologies within its historically inspired spaces. Glass-accented Missionstyle espresso maple cabinets, featuring wine and plate racks, span nearly 12 feet in height. Granite countertops complement the beautiful hardwood and a farm-style sink adds a nostalgic elegance. A high top bar extends an open invitation for guests to sample appetizers. A cozy hearth room shares the warmth

of the three-side fireplace and a relaxing environment to catch up with an old friend over coffee. Windows in the breakfast and hearth room areas offer more incredible views of the woods and creek beyond. The master suite features a hip vaulted faux finished ceiling, and soothing shades of grey and purple are accented with elaborate window treatments. The entire master bathroom is adorned in exquisite grey and white Venetian marble. Homeowners will enjoy stepping up into the Roman-style tub, which features a beautiful canopy-influenced drape that adds a regal touch to the relaxing bathing area. Espresso maple cabinets and marble countertops are highlighted with chrome fixtures and two vessel bowl sinks. The frameless shower includes a body massage feature. For added convenience, a spacious laundry room is accessible from the bathroom. A large walk-in closet completes the space. Designed for both style and functional living, the master suite offers owners a relaxing get-away-from-it-all feeling that's so good to come home to. Two additional bedrooms and a bath are included

on the main level, just off the foyer. A two-car garage features carriage style doors and space for a mud area with a large closet and bench that makes coming and going more organized. Insulated walls and doors help regulate the temperature. Partygoers at the Wiltshire Manor will certainly have no trouble finding their way downstairs. Beyond the arched entryway, there's plenty of room to enjoy a game of pool in the spacious recreation area. A built-in bar is accented by gold leaf detail and a mirrored backdrop. The media room will be a popular gathering place on Super Bowl Sunday, with plenty of areas for friends and family to cheer on their teams. Uniquely designed square cutouts add an open and artistic feel to the space. A large bedroom and bath offer an ideal retreat for visiting friends and family. An additional conversation starter is the garden room with access to the patio where homeowners with a green thumb can plan and prepare for their outdoor plantings. Builder Renotta Henson has more than five years' experience as an exclusive Energy Star rated builder.

Forsyth Park

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

Old world charm meets the conveniences of a modern lifestyle in Key Homes' four-bedroom, three-and-ahalf 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. Builtins 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 beauti-

ful 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 fix-

tures. 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

Brick and limestone combine to define the 4,675 square foot home's exterior.

Commanding attention on the front exterior is a gorgeous stone entry with an arched, eight-foot double front door.

Just off the hearth and breakfast room areas is a grilling station and deck that is certain to host many outdoor barbecues. The master suite is accented with a trayed casket vault ceiling and paddle fan. Of interest to late night television fans is a remote controlled flat screen TV that lowers out of the master ceiling. The room also has access to the covered back porch.

Extreme Inspiration

by Joe and Rocky Pusateri Elite Homes, Inc. 245-6159 elitebuilthomes.com

Inspired by the home that Elite Homes built for Patrick Henry Hughes and his family for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in 2007, the Extreme Inspiration features many similarities that were incorporated into the Hughes' project. Classic elegance best describes the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath Extreme Inspiration. The traditional 4,595 square foot walkout ranch offers incredible views of gorgeous green spaces and an open and thoughtfully designed floor plan. It's also conveniently located close to the clubhouse. The exterior of Elite Homes' Energy Star house is highlighted with creamy white architectural brick and classic taupe trim. Reminiscent of days gone by, a beautiful stained wood door, accented with an arched transom and glass pane sidelites, is tucked within a quaint, covered front porch. Designed for entertaining and relaxing in style, the foyer appropriately welcomes guests with a gorgeous chandelier, hand scraped maple hardwood and a clear view of the great room and backyard landscape. Nearby, the dining room features a uniquely decorated tray ceiling, crown moulding and a chair rail accented with mirrored panels. A large window with an arched transom offers a distinctive open and bright feel to the room, which is most certainly going to host many special occasions to come. Double French doors lead to a beautiful study just off the foyer, giving owners an elegant venue to work or play. The great room is an ideal place to kick off your shoes and enjoy a family game by the fire. A vaulted cathedral ceiling, paddle fan, beautiful gas fireplace, plasma TV and custom, built-in shelving make this seem like a home that's designed for comfort. An incredible 12 x 8 foot double French door and more of the beautiful maple hardwood flooring highlight the home's natural surroundings. There's plenty of room to venture a few feet into the kitchen for a sample of what's cooking. The combined open space shared by the great room, kitchen and breakfast room continues the warm, welcom-

60 Homearama 2009

ing embrace of the Extreme Inspiration. Just off the breakfast room is a screened deck, where many lazy Saturday morning cups of coffee are sure to be savored. The kitchen is an invitation to pull up a stool and join the chef for casual conversation during dinner preparation. A large island features plenty of working space and creamy white cabinets with a coffee glaze complement the hand scraped cocoa brown hardwood flooring. Soft, light colors lend a classic, traditional feel to the kitchen. Modern conveniences are not forgotten, however, with stainless steel appliances, a built-in fridge, advantium microwave and a convection oven. A private master foyer includes a mirrored niche and a double tray ceiling within the arched entryway. The master suite is highlighted with a double tray ceiling and atrium doors that lead to the screened deck. The master bath offers the perfect get-awayfrom-it-all retreat with beautiful porcelain tile, Venetian bronze fixtures, marble countertops and more of the coffee-glazed creamy white cabinets. The spacious walk-in shower features a rain shower and

body massage unit and the corner whirlpool tub offers a perfect venue for a good, long soak. A built-in linen cabinet and large walk-in closet provide owners plenty of room to stay organized. The powder room is highlighted with a gorgeous art glass window and pedestal sink. An additional bedroom on the main level features an adjoining private bath and gorgeous views of the backyard. An open staircase with a beautiful leaded glass palladian window invites guests to explore the lower level, which includes incredible spaces that make entertaining easy and fun. Guests and family members alike will most certainly frequent the fully-equipped wet bar and recreation area, which opens up to a covered patio. A large wine room is highlighted with glass next to the bar, giving guests a sneak peak at the vintage collection beyond. Stone arches define additional spaces, which also include a billiards area and media center. What's sure to be a conversation starter among new guests is the incredible exercise room that features a boxing ring, complete with mirrors and all the accessories to throw that one-two punch.

MAIN FLOOR

An additional bedroom and bath are also included on the lower level. Despite the traditional design, the Extreme Inspiration is very modern behind the scenes, with innovative wiring, a central vacuum system, a built-in stereo and a video camera alarm system with internet capabilities. Elite Homes has created a home that is certainly like no other, with creative architectural details and inviting spaces designed for both privacy and large gatherings. It's no doubt that homeowners will enjoy its convenient location, energy efficient qualities, classic style and peaceful retreat-like setting for many years to come.
