The Arden

The Arden-Indian Hill Custom Home

Nestled in the tranquil Indian Hill community, The Arden stands as a grand, cottage-style sanctuary where elegance meets functionality. As you step through the custom front door, framed by an arch and two charming brick arches on the front porch, you are immediately greeted by a breathtaking view straight through the large picture windows to the lush backyard.

Every corner of The Arden tells a story of thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship. It is the perfect blend of elegance and comfort, where every detail was designed to enhance the lifestyle of this family.

The heart of The Arden is its exquisite kitchen, a culinary artist’s dream. Imagine yourself preparing meals on a 9-foot wide island, complete with seating, a sink and dishwasher, surrounded by ample storage. The island becomes the centerpiece for gathering and cooking. A custom wood-built hood hovers majestically over the range, drawing the eye and creating a sophisticated atmosphere. The kitchen boasts panel-ready appliances that blend seamlessly with custom inset cabinetry, all highlighted by quartz countertops that extend up to a matching backsplash slab, ensuring a seamless, elegant finish. Venture into the hall across from the formal dining room to discover the hidden gem of this home: the pantry. This space, filled with custom cabinetry and an apron sink, offers both closed and open shelving, making it an ideal prep area. Connected to the kitchen, the sunroom and screened-in porch offer tranquil spaces to unwind.
