2626 Alia Cir, Louisville, KY 40222

This is arguably the FINEST residence in ALIA, a free-standing home located on a lot and a half, tucked in the secluded back corner of the neighborhood (away from Ballard). This home is an Eberenz 1/2built home, custom built for the seller, whose design input helped create a residence of impeccable style and quality. The design of the home allows for living on one floor, while having room for family or guests on the second floor, and ample entertaining space in the finished basement. The 2-story foyer has an impressive leaded-glass entry flanked by art niches, a gleaming marble floor, a curved staircase leading to the second floor, and is open to the elegant dining room. Arched openings lead from the foyer to the living room, where the defining feature is a wall of windows looking out at the brick-walled courtyard (extra height of the walls gives total privacy). The kitchen is heaven for a gourmet chef or a host who loves to entertain. Ivory cabinets were custom-designed by Ballard, and granite tops the large curved island as well as the cabinets. Appliances include a 6-burner Dacor gas cooktop, double ovens (1 Advantium), and a Bosch dishwasher. The kitchen is flanked by a large breakfast room on one side, and a sunny hearth room on the other. The FIRST-FLOOR MASTER SUITE is huge, with a triple-tray ceiling and extensive moldings. There are 2 large walk-in closets, one with a separate dressing room. The bath is truly luxurious, with a huge, leaded Palladian window over a soaking tub, a huge separate shower, and two high vanities with custom Ballard cabinetry. The second floor is perfect for extended family or long- or short-term guests, with 2 ample bedrooms, a sitting room, and a beautiful bath. The mostly-finished basement has 10-FOOT CEILINGS, a huge family room with a fireplace, a private office with a fireplace, a full bath, and an ENORMOUS WALK-IN CEDAR CLOSET. The 3-car garage has extra room for workspace or storage. There are 3 HVAC systems. This home offers a luxurious lifestyle, with no exterior maintenance; all grounds-keeping and exterior maintenance (including private courtyard) is included in the homeowner1/2s fee ($402/month).
