2 The bright, welcoming entry hall allows natural light to flood the home’s interior spaces and opens here to the dining room, featuring a barrel ceiling in a subtle metallic silver finish and a decorative alcove with a mirrored chest.

Situated in the exclusive Ashley Woods community of Edgewood in Northern Kentucky, this spacious landominium sits on a large lot and features an expansive yard with beautiful landscaping. The homeowners worked with interior designer Tom Kordenbrock of Kordenbrock Interiors in Crescent Springs to design a home that would promote a carefree lifestyle, orchestrating the home to express a Southeastern coastal flair, with elegance and charm at every turn and countless special details inside and out.

“Plantation shutters, arbors over the garage doors, an oversized glass front door, transom windows throughout and turf block pavers with real grass gridwork to form the guest parking area are just a few of the many custom touches this home features,” Kordenbrock shared. “I worked closely with the homeowners, who are very knowledgeable about interior design, building and architecture, so they both understand just how to resonate their vision for the home.”

Classic architectural details are incorporated throughout, and the interiors evoke a casual, welcoming feeling, with the transparency of the front door and an open floorplan with a view that carries through much of the home and continues out through a wall of rear windows. The entire interior is flooded with natural light thanks to the numerous large windows with transoms above, as well as the high vaulted and coffered ceilings.

“Expansive medium brown stained wood floors complete almost the entire main floor, connecting all rooms in harmony with the rather large spaces,” Kordenbrock stated. “White woodwork and dramatic beams are dominant, with an abundance of wood details, such as the Chippendale railing along the stairway to the lower level, the two white-painted fireplaces with adjoining bookcases, the oversized door casings and remarkable crown molding.”

A pool is situated just steps from the outdoor living room, which can be completely enclosed with large automatic screens for comfortable al fresco dining (not pictured), while two Tibetan area rugs are found in both the gathering room and dining room flanking the foyer, projecting soft colors and providing inspiration for furnishings and wall colors.

“It was very enjoyable to work closely with the homeowner on the interior,” Kordenbrock added. “She led the way with choosing colors, as she knew exactly what she wanted and always knew how to achieve it, creating a truly unique approach to casual living in high style.”

5 Boasting formal elegance, the dining room features gold upholstered dining chairs with bow ties that project a real Southern charm, while soft drapery panels accompanied by crystal finials have been carefully hung to expose the large transom window above.

6 The spacious kitchen is done in all white, with ample counter space and amenities throughout. Glass fronted doors feature French curved mullions, while quartz countertops and true brown hardwood flooring grounds the space.

7 A rich, soothing retreat, the master bedroom features walls covered in a shimmering silvery light taupe, while the other hues include beautiful neutrals, vanillas, buff beige and tones of silver, all surrounding a lavish walnut bedroom set complete with a carved poster bed that works harmoniously with a silver metallic drawer chest.

8 A spacious, formal spa-like feel in the master bathroom is enhanced by the soft, shimmering wall covering, as well as two large white vanities, beveled mirrors, crystal and silver sconces and a fabulous chandelier. The full glass walk-in shower and double French doors that open to a private walled garden work with a floating Venetian mirror hung over a mirrored wall above the makeup counter to complete the look.

9 This soothing guest bedroom features a white headboard adorned with a whimsical bird figurine, while the en-suite bath is finished in white subway tile to create a clean, timeless look. HOME CREDITS:
