A handsome library, with its own fireplace, adjoins the heart of the home-the kitchen. In 2024, an extraordinary new kitchen and mudroom addition was completed by Amlung Construction in conjunction with the design expertise of Kentucky's own, Matthew Carter. This chef's kitchen showcases marble-clad custom cabinetry with an oversized walnut island, premium appliances and a generous walk-in pantry. A sunlit breakfast area, framed by a wall of windows, provides the perfect spot to start the day. The mudroom offers abundant storage, a chic garage entry, and even a custom retreat for your furry friends.
