Love Letters from the Good Life

/ May 17, 2020

2036 Strathmoor Boulevard, Strathmoor Manor

Extensive renovation and expansion in this Strathmoor Manor Bungalow marry the charm of 1940’s architecture with every modern convenience of today’s world. The covered front porch welcomes with a hospitable place to sit and relax, and opens to a small, formal entry. Coat closet and space to breathe are here, giving way to a large and sunny front living room. While the fireplace offers a spot to gather in the cooler months, new window shades help to keep some of the Kentucky sun at bay during our warm Springs and Summers. Accessible here is the formal dining room, with front-facing views and access to the recently remodeled kitchen.

Plenty of workspace and counter space are abundant with light (including dimmable under-cabinet and overhead lighting), and a center peninsula is the perfect spot for homework, weekday breakfasts, or enjoying a beverage with friends before a meal. Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry and trim, tile floor, and backsplash are all under 2 years old, and are a lovely addition to the stainless steel appliances. Access to the huge, high-ceilinged basement is in the kitchen, and down here, one will find exterior access as well as roughed-in plumbing for another full bathroom, offering the opportunity to finish for even more square footage. Back upstairs, following gleaming, refinished original hardwoods down the hall, one finds three bedrooms as well as one and a half baths that have just undergone huge facelifts of their own. New comfort-height vanities, new lighting, and lovely detail in trim work and storage mean that while the lucky new owner is gaining a Highlands home full of history, worries of functionality should be the furthest thing from their mind.

The second floor awaits to take one’s breath, with the stairwell opening to a large loft space with built-in seating with storage, built-in bookshelves, a domed, backlit ceiling, and a space carved out for the even the largest of televisions. A massive full bathroom with abundant storage and large, glass and tile shower was just added, with no space overlooked. A serene and quiet place, with two bedrooms joining the new bath and loft, this second floor could serve as master’s suite, or provide a spot for teenage children to have room and privacy of their own.

The current owners have fallen in love with the Strathmoor area, loving the short walk to Lakeside and their huge, 1/4 acre lot. Only the third owners since the home was built in 1949, the Sellers have painstakingly undertaken structural, mechanical, and cosmetic renovations. Dual high-efficiency HVAC systems, new roof, new porch, and spray foam insulation, show incredible pride of ownership and offer peace of mind to the lucky new owners. See photos for a full list of updates, and come view this one today.

Maybe it’s due to an overactive mind, a desire to feel like I’m influencing someone, or perhaps, it’s simply that I need to talk.

Our new powder room may or may not be going a litt Our new powder room may or may not be going a little overboard with Fornasetti everything. Here, their Nuvolette wallpaper in the dark blue colorway and one of 2 or 3 wall plates that’ll top the walls.
Wrapped up the first week of the new year by worki Wrapped up the first week of the new year by working from home, setting intention for 2021, and planning client parties, holiday gatherings. Hoping your new year is off to the best start. Cheers, y’all.
Wishing you the most beautiful Christmas. This yea Wishing you the most beautiful Christmas. This year hasn’t been the easiest on anyone, and the holidays may be difficult. I hope you find the light this season, and that even if Christmas Day is spent alone, I hope that the quiet and the snow, the light of the tree and the music on the radio provide a heart full of love.
While the man and I aren’t really doing a beauti While the man and I aren’t really doing a beautiful table setting this year (we have paper plates and a folding table), or roasting a huge bird and hosting 20 people for board games and bourbon (it’ll be turkey meatballs for two, because... Covid), I still wanted to throw some inspiration out there. This is my favorite Thanksgiving tablescape from 2017. This table is on the blog now! Cheers, y’all.

So hard to believe our gorgeous home is on the mar So hard to believe our gorgeous home is on the market... so many years here, and so many changes in our lives. This house has seen the loss of both our dogs, both my parents. We celebrated our engagement here, came home happy and silly after a Christmas elopement. Thanksgiving here has been full of Bourbon and friends and Trivial Pursuit.  This has been my happy place for the better part of a decade. 

Going to sleep tonight in hopes of the right buyer who will love these walls as much as we have 💕
Happy Friday from the best place on earth! Happy Friday from the best place on earth!
