Elite Homes is featuring our 28th Homearama home, The Southwood, in Louisville’s annual home show begining July 14th. Combining modern living with traditional style, The Southwood showcases Elite Homes’ innovative design within the 6,441 square foot five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom home. The Williamsburg- influenced exterior features red brick, white trim, dark green shutters and a bronze-accented front porch roof.

Once inside the two-story foyer, guests are greeted with beautiful ceramic tile with a tiled rug design insert, elaborate millwork, and an incredible winding staircase. Just off the foyer is a beautiful study highlighting coffered ceilings, built-in cabinetry and a majestic window. Columns introduce the 2-story grand room, which features ceramic tile and three sets of French doors. The area also extends its living space outdoors with a see-through fireplace, paddle fan, beamed ceiling and stamped concrete.

Home-cooked meals take on a new meaning in the incredible gourmet kitchen, which features espresso hand-scraped hardwood flooring and white cabinets with charcoal glaze. Light gray granite countertops offer a beautiful complement to the pale sage green walls and stainless steel appliances.

The adjoining hearth room with a vaulted and beamed ceiling and see-through fireplace is sure to be a popular gathering place for friends and family and access to the twostory covered outdoor grand room. A walk-in butler’s pantry, complete with a wine cooler adjoins the kitchen.
