Experience the harmony of nature and architecture with this historically important, architect-designed, 5-bedroom, mid-century ranch home situated in a secluded location in Indian Hills. This beautiful home has been lovingly referred to as the ''Saag Residence'' since it was designed and built in 1961 by Louisville's best mid-century architect, Gerald… Read More Stuart Baron. The home was published in The Kentucky Architect magazine in March 1963. It was the first of many homes built by Baron and remains an architecturally preserved testament to his life's work. The home comes with the original architectural plans with markups. Approaching the home, there is an informal garden walk leading to the entry porch from the stamped concrete driveway. You are greeted by the original grand front door with wood tracery, suggestive of a garden gate. Upon entering the foyer, you will find beautiful original slate flooring and pickled grey driftwood walls. Before even taking a step into the home, your eyes are immediately drawn to the 50 feet of floor-to-ceiling glass walls which run throughout the living room, den, and family rooms. Enjoy this view year-round in front of your double-sided wood-burning fireplace. The den is separated from the kitchen by an island and boasts original Butternut wood paneling. The formal dining room has retained its custom mahogany floor and features a built-in butler closet. Walking down the hallway, you will find four large bedrooms, a full bathroom in the hallway, and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. At the end of the hall is the primary suite (5th bedroom). It has two walk-in closets, floor-to-ceiling windows with backyard access, and an ensuite bathroom. Additionally, the primary bedroom has a secondary entrance into one of the hall bedrooms, making it perfect for additional personal dressing space or an office. The partially finished basement showcases even more of the history of this home. Designed for Henry Saag, the last owner of the beloved Vogue Theater on Lexington Rd, this home features an original movie poster collage in the hallway of the basement, creating the perfect entry into the media room pre-wired for Dolby Atmos 7.4.4 home theater. Countless features of this home have been restored or preserved to maintain the classic Mid-Century design choices. These include the replacement of Touch-Plate lighting actuators, the rebuilding of the side entry porch to original specifications, hardwood flooring replacement to original white oak, and the restoration of both wood-burning fireplaces. Modern updates to the home include conversion to PEX plumbing, a tankless water heater, a whole-home humidifier, HVAC replacement, pool equipment replacement, radon system installation, and a whole-home air purification system.
