Tate's Initiative

The Tates Project is a remarkable transformation of a premier ranch home located in the heart of Shadeland, just steps away from the Arboretum in Lexington, KY. Initiated in 2014, this extensive renovation, completed by KBC Design/Build, showcases a perfect blend of character and quality tailored for a young, growing family. The focus was on enhancing functionality while infusing the space with contemporary design elements that deliver impressive aesthetic appeal. At the heart of the home, the newly designed kitchen features a massive cooking island, providing ample space for meal preparation and family gatherings. Thoughtfully integrated into the cabinetry is a coffee and breakfast station, cleverly concealing essential appliances while maintaining a clean and organized appearance. This kitchen not only serves as a culinary workspace but also as a central hub for family interaction. The master suite was completely reimagined, now boasting a luxurious bathroom that emphasizes relaxation and style. This new space incorporates modern fixtures and finishes, elevating the daily routine into a spa-like experience. Additionally, a new Jack and Jill bathroom serves the front bedrooms, providing convenience and privacy for family members and guests alike. Throughout the central living area, exquisite built-ins and a stylish fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for both entertaining and cozy nights in. The addition of a new mudroom off the garage entry enhances organization for the family, featuring designated areas for children's belongings, ensuring that clutter is kept at bay. The main level is adorned with gorgeous hand-scraped hardwood flooring, imparting a sense of warmth and sophistication. Curb appeal has also been significantly enhanced with the installation of a new gable and front door, complemented by a contemporary cedar fence enclosing the expansive rear yard, creating a private oasis for outdoor enjoyment. The Tates Project stands as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design, making it a perfect family home that balances modern living with timeless charm.
