Rarely does a residence transcend the boundary between "home and fine art." Nestled within 44.25 acres of picturesque Kentucky landscape, this extraordinary estate represents the architectural legacy of the world-renowned glass artist, Stephen Rolfe Powell, celebrated for his vibrant color palettes and monumental blown-glass vessels. Powell's genius is integrated into the home's design. Wood siding wraps the main house, offering a seamless transition from nature to artistry. Upon entering, a dramatic, curved glass block wall anchors the staircase with wide plank ash wood flooring flowing throughout the interior. The custom glass integrations are the portal windows, allowing the colorful light to move throughout the day, a live painting. The breakfast area chandelier is an illuminating focal point in the heart of the home. Blown-glass sinks that light up elevate the bathrooms into private exhibitions of functional sculpture. Balconies with light-up columns throughout the second and third floors offer serene views and create nighttime ambiance. The grand sunken living room blends indoor luxury with outdoor serenity, with floor-to-ceiling views of the private setting. The towering stone fireplace provides a warm, and organic focal point flanked by custom-built-in cabinetry and shelves. The heart of the home is the sun-filled open chef's kitchen, reimagined with a high-end renovation. It features sprawling quartz countertops, a Thermador gas cooktop, range, and steam oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Every meal would be an event. The sophisticated laundry room has the wine-beverage refrigerator, ice maker, ideal for entertaining. The open layout of the main level encourages an inviting gathering space. A cozy den offers a wonderful view of the meadow lined with redbud trees, adding a pop of spring color and grazing deer. Ascending the grand staircase, you will arrive at the landing overlooking a large balcony. This peaceful space offers the added color of light-up corner posts. The primary suite provides a sensory experience unlike any other. The vibrant glow of Stephen Powell's signature colorful glass windows filtered through a wall of glass blocks. The luxurious renovated ensuite bath features quality craftsmanship; a custom-built vanity with a blown-glass sink, a large walk-in tiled shower, a soaking tub, and a private balcony. The second bedroom offers casement windows and a pretty view of the property. A full bath features another one of Stephen Powell's blown-glass sinks and has been renovated with a wave-shaped tiled shower, decorative light, and Brio fixtures. A spiral staircase leads to a private office that has dedicated display spaces, with built-in bookcases that are lit for your collections. A third private balcony is a fabulous backdrop for your creative work with the accent color corner pillars. The home has finished living space in the basement; a cozy den, a high-end renovated bath, a bedroom, and a staircase leading to the rear porch. The refreshing side porch overlooks the yard brimming with plants, 7' hydrangeas, and tranquil views of the property. The 3-car garage and barn garage space are a short distance. An office space is available in a room off the garage. The charming little house wrapped in wood siding awaits your guest. The interior has been thoughtfully renovated and features a gable of blue-and-white bricks created by Stephen Powell. A short stroll leads to the pool pavilion, complete with a renovated outdoor kitchen featuring marine-grade cabinetry and Coyote appliances, a spa, and an infinity pool with a peaceful view of the countryside. Finally, the outdoor experience would not be complete without exploring the hiking/ riding trails, a spring-fed lake, pond, and forests; evergreen, hardwood, bamboo, and grassland encourage deer and turkey to roam freely. This lovingly restored, one-of-a-kind estate offers you an opportunity to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle and create beautiful memories.
