GRACE + CHARM STORY BY JODI KEEN PHOTOS BY KEILEN FRAZIER MESSENGER-INQUIRER

Charming homes decorate several neighborhoods around Owensboro, and a highlight among them is the Dogwood Azalea area. Filled with lovely bungalows, bricked Tudor-style abodes and Colonial revivals, a particular gem stands out at 1312 Waverly Place.

Built in 1927, this brick Craftsmanstyle house includes pre-war standards such as formal living and dining rooms, plenty of bedrooms and a quaint garden.

But it also enjoys a sizable breakfast nook and a respectful, polished kitchen featuring updated appliances, endless cabinet space and gleaming Carrara marble countertops.

Gorgeous modern touches complement this home’s native charm. Expansive built-ins are juxtaposed with original hardwood. Exquisite light fixtures balance the original woodwork and refined

wainscoting. Amplifying the elegance is a large dressing room upstairs with a vanity, sink and more Carrara marble.

“I love the older homes because of the character they have,” says owner Christy Knott, pointing to her home’s interior brick wall and swinging saloon doors.

Although thoroughly refined, 1312 Waverly Place leaves room for a buyer’s personal touch. Its 4,375 square feet and five bedrooms provide ample opportunity for a home office, play room, fitness center or library. The same can be said for the basement: Spanning the full width of the house and boasting an unfinished fireplace, it’s an ideal venue for an inhome bar, rec room or additional living room.

“There’s unlimited potential down there,” Christy says. “A person could make it amazing.”

As is clearly evidenced, 1312 Waverly Place has been meticulously maintained throughout its 93 years. Energy-efficient

OPEN HOUSE REMAX is hosting an open house at 1312 Waverly Place from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 18.

replacement windows line the house. The roof is less than 5 years old. The fireplaces and water heater have been upgraded to gas units. Herself a general contractor, Christy built the single-car detached garage during her three-year residency. It all matches the sense of pride in their homes and the friendliness that the neighborhood displays.

“The neighbors are wonderful,” she says. “… A lot of people walk. They walk their dogs, they walk in pairs — women in pairs, husbands and wives, retired folks. You’ll see kids riding their bikes.

It’s always been kind of an active area.”

And the interaction doesn’t stop at the

street: The multi-tiered, bungalow-style porch with its original intricate ceiling makes 1312 Waverly Place the perfect spot for welcoming neighbors and entertaining guests.

“The front porch is amazing,” Christy says. “(It’s) a sociable thing. I have my coffee out there a lot … With this house, everybody loves to sit on this front porch.”

Strategically located one mile from downtown Owensboro and adjacent to the intersection of Parrish Avenue and Frederica Street, 1312 Waverly Place is ideally situated to get its residents anywhere in town quickly, while also enjoying the colorful tranquility of being in residential Dogwood Azalea.

“In the spring when ever ything blooms, it’s beautiful,” Christy says. “…

You’re in town, but (you feel like) you’re in the country.”

UPGRADE YOUR HOME

DOWNGRADE ENERGY USAGE

BY FAMILY FEATURES

The best home upgrades not only make spaces more livable and energyefficient but are also cost-effective. Making energy-efficient improvements is a savvy way to save money on utility bills, curb energy usage and add to the house's value.

Consider a variety of home improvement projects, both big and small, that can reduce the financial burden of maintaining your home throughout the year and improve energy efficiency.

ADD INSULATION

A cost-effective way to save on heating and cooling bills is adding a layer of insulation in the attic where heat loss is typically greatest due to hot air rising. While many newer homes are adequately insulated, those that are several decades old (or older) may benefit from an upgrade in not only the attic but other common problem areas where air can escape such as basements, crawl spaces, fireplaces and ductwork.

SEAL DOORS AND WINDOWS

Windows and doors are common culprits for energy loss. While a complete replacement of doors and windows can be pricey, adding exterior caulk and weather stripping to fill in gaps where air can escape around these openings can make a noticeable difference for a fraction of the cost and make it cheaper to heat and cool your home.

INSTALL SKYLIGHTS

Skylights are a cost-effective option for transforming any room in the home with natural light while also delivering energy-saving benefits. For example, Sun Tunnel Skylights from Velux can be installed in as little as 90 minutes and funnel natural light from the roof through the attic and into the room below with an aesthetic that resembles recessed lighting. Customizable with six diffuser film styles to complement interior design, the skylights can make a home more energy-efficient by reducing reliance on artificial lighting. An optional daylight controller makes it easy for homeowners to adjust natural light

entering a room, and a solar nightlight provides a moon-like guiding light at night. Installed with the solar nightlight, the skylights qualify for a 26% federal tax credit on solar property.

INSTALL A PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT

A programmable thermostat is an efficient way to control the climate inside your home, and those with smart technology take programming to a whole new level. Today's smart thermostats not only let homeowners control temperatures from their smart devices while on-the-go but can also learn daily habits and adjust the temperature accordingly with no other manual adjustments necessary. In addition, some utility companies offer incentives like money back at

the end of the year for installing a smart thermostat because the energy savings are so substantial.

ADD REFLECTIVE WINDOW FILM

When the sun shines through windows, it can heat up the home’s interior quickly and trigger the air conditioner to turn on. Window coverings, such as blackout curtains, can help, but adding low-e reflective window film to your windowpanes, particularly southern-facing ones, can provide an additional shield from the sun’s hot rays and reduce energy costs.

REPLACE APPLIANCES

Because appliances like refrigerators and ovens, among others, are major energy users, investing in more efficient

models provides both cost and energy savings. Additionally, homes more than 15 years old could benefit from updates to the air conditioner or heater as systems 15-20 years old or older may be candidates for replacement as they're inefficient by today's standards.

ADD CEILING FANS

In comparison to running your air conditioner consistently, the cost of running a ceiling fan (or several) is significantly less. Particularly on days that may not require cooling the entire house completely, fans can provide a gentle breeze and circulate air in the spaces you use most often. Simply adjust the switch to the counterclockwise position to ensure it's pushing air downward during warmer months.
