From the moment you drive up to this home what you first observe is something which is becoming more and more rare in Louisville: you have privacy, and yet you are a ten minute leisurely walk to nearby Norton Commons. Nestled on a cul-de-sac in the Glen Oaks subdivision of Prospect, Kentucky, across the street from the house is a small grassy embankment with an outcropping of rocks that borders the nearby Glen Oaks Country Club golf course. Upon approaching the front entrance your eyes are drawn to a lovely babbling waterfall which tumbles into a crystal clear pond nestled near a crouching Japanese maple tree. The pond is dotted with water lilies, and the air is perfumed with the fragrance of lavender, rosemary, and jasmine, surrounded by red and yellow roses, and a spray of dwarf and taller evergreen shrubs and trees. As you enter the home you will be enticed by the sense of spaciousness created by the 20 foot ceiling, and the large picture windows which allow ample sunlight to flood the great room and dining area. In beginning your tour you see masterfully designed built in book cases and shelves, along with a wet bar, set upon gorgeous natural hardwood floors which extend the length of the house into the kitchen and adjoining deck. Handcrafted molding is on display throughout the house, but perhaps at its most grand in the high ceiling in the first floor master bedroom. Separate his and her walk in closets are situated adjacent to the master bedroom and master bath complete with jacuzzi, tile flooring and seated shower stall. The upstairs has three bedrooms, full bath and 3 full walk in closets, and a half closet used for storage that leads back to the attic. Further down is the large walk out basement with built in surround sound speakers and entertainment center. There are two side rooms which have served as bedrooms, or space for exercise/yoga. Downstairs are three additional closets, a full bath, and two more built in bookcases. Just in case, there is a 900 square foot separate storage area with ample shelf space. On each side of the downstairs fireplace are two large windows and a foyer leading out to the lower deck which comes equipped with a recently purchased Maxx spa, designed by a German physician with strong (and adjustable jets whether for hydrotherapy or relaxing massage to soothe tired muscles, and induce relaxing. Evenings in the hot tub allow for total privacy while outside, and views of the rising moon over the creek at the bottom of the back yard. It is the backyard which to many is the garden of earthly delights. Since the lot is bordered with trees on all sides, there is the second privacy: a sparkling creek is set about 60 feet away from the house, and is home to waterfowl such as ducks, herons, and other birds who you can count on to serenade you with their cheerful melodies. Guests often comment that when here they feel as though they are at a private resort. It is yours to discover ! And enjoy.
