494 Cedar Place Dr

The proud elegance of this appr. 9,300 sq. ft. architectural masterpiece--with it's welcoming wraparound porch, towering spire, and cylindrical turrets--hearkens back to that long forgotten age of expert craftsmanship and attention-to-detail, helping it's classic Victorian style feel right-at-home in charming, old-fashioned Shepherdsville! Stepping through the custom leaded-glass French doors and onto the bold granite floors of the foyer, you're immediately greeted by the elegantly-curved, carved-walnut main staircase, it's graceful ascent brilliantly illuminated by the striking crystal chandelier suspended above; should guests enter as you descend this staircase, you must forgive them for imagining they're on the Titanic, waiting patiently as Rose descends its own grand staircase to join them in first class. The foyer is flanked on either side by the formal dining and living rooms. Ahead, through the foyer and past the staircase, a wide threshold supported by ornate columns beckons visitors into the sprawling great room, featuring wall-to-wall Palladian windows, a beautiful gas fireplace, and double doors leading to the large rear balcony, providing a picturesque view of this vast property and the hills beyond. Also on the 1st level, the massive main kitchen boasts granite countertops, custom detailed cabinetry, an island, a sub-zero refrigerator and freezer, and a custom antique replica stove, while the primary suite features a massive bedroom and attached primary bathroom, itself boasting a jacuzzi with raised flooring, a walk-in shower with glass doors, and multiple vanities flanking the entrance on both sides, each with dedicated cabinetry. Atop the main staircase (unless you took the elevator!), custom leaded-glass French doors beckon visitors into the cozy sophistication of the library, with it's gas fireplace and custom bookcases highlighted by the natural light spilling in from the wall-to-wall windows overlooking the rear of the property. An intriguing spiral staircase leads from the library up into the 3rd floor turret, it's surrounding windows permitting visitors a birds-eye view in all directions. Also on the 2nd floor are 3 bedrooms--one with a private sitting room, attached bathroom, and laundry room--and two full bathrooms. The finished walk-out basement features a colossal great room with a gas fireplace and more Palladian windows; a 2nd fully-equipped kitchen with oak cabinetry and a breakfast bar; a custom fully-equipped theater room with a projector and stadium seating; and 2 more full bedrooms with a shared full bathroom. In total, the interior of the home includes 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, 4 furnaces, 2 central vac systems, 2 kitchens, 3 laundry rooms, and a 2 car attached garage, with an elevator servicing all 3 levels of the home. The exterior includes a heated and air-conditioned 6-car detached garage, a 3-car carport, a 30x40' maintenance building, and a spring-fed pond near the rear of the 5.8 acre property, just past the white picket fence surrounding the backyard. This home is located just minutes from I-65, Bernheim Forest, and--perhaps most importantly--an amazon fulfillment center.
