Both front and back yards were completely re-designed and landscaped by John Creasey of Phillips/Creasey. The entire property has sprinkler system and landscape lighting. Wind your way up the pea gravel path to enter through the organic garden, blossoming with nectarine, Fuji apple, fig, and peach trees. Pluck raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, bursting with flavor. Five steel garden beds brim with arugula, zucchini, tomato, basil, cilantro, sweet potato, strawberries, carrots, sweet peas, green onion, and mixed greens to awaken your inner-chef. Wildflowers, hydrangea, Hofstra, azaleas, and geranium entice hummingbirds. The custom swinging daybed on the front porch invites you to relax awhile as well. Enter the welcoming open-floor plan with custom steel staircase, hand-built by an underwater welder. Kentucky barn wood, cured by years of exposure, frame the gas ventless fireplace and custom book shelves. The kitchen island, with wood waterfall edges, is enhanced by the surrounding custom steel windows and concrete countertops by Set in Stone. A large porcelain farm sink, handblown lighting from Sundance, Kitchen Aid's top-of-the-line black stainless-steel appliances, and barn-doored pantry truly make this the heart of the home. The dining room's stunning chandelier from Anthropologie leads you toward the wall of glass and double sliding doors onto the large screened porch to enjoy the mounted flat screen TV and stone wood-burning fireplace with gas starter. Don't forget to look up and appreciate the Kentucky barn wood ceiling! The over-sized, level backyard is horizontally privacy-fenced and has several outdoor living areas and garden workbench. When the trees are in full-leaf, the backyard is a true private sanctuary. In spring, the cherry tree flourishes in pink blossoms and the three Bradford pears explode in stunning white petals. The numerous holly trees are decades old and offer thick greenery all year round. The towering Pecan shades the back porch, keeping it cool on those summer afternoons. With a door leading to a private alcove in the backyard, the home office has windows on three sides, looking out on the garden and to a Ginko tree that turns bright gold in autumn. A perfect setting to feel inspired. The downstairs bedroom is large with abundant light, and the full bath is like stepping into a suite at the hippest Ace Hotel. Up the modern, open staircase, the bonus room/guest room beckons you with its floor-to-ceiling picture window. Currently being used as an exercise/yoga space, the room has a built-in Murphy bed for guests. Behind a sliding barn door is a large laundry/utility room. Book shelves line the upstairs hallway and lead to a huge walk-in closet. All of the upstairs closets boast secret, extra storage areas. The upstairs bathroom is a grand space with lighting and fixtures from Restoration Hardware, glass shower with dual shower head, custom 8-foot vanity made from the reclaimed beams from the ceiling, galvanized steel countertop, and enough space to hold a square dance. The jewel of the house is the master bedroom with its vaulted ceiling and West Elm caprice shell globe chandelier, the sitting area with its wall of windows (where you can see city lights at night, Missionary Ridge, and in winter, Lookout Mountain), the feature wall with its Kentucky barn wood reaching to a pinnacle, the huge closet with its over-sized sliding barn doors, and the white Malm gas fireplace with remote. Pure hygge perfection. You'll never want to leave. This is a special house. A true home for the artist in you. Designed to delight the senses, for relaxation, for entertaining, for creative flow - for joie de vivre.
