Property Description

Welcome to 700 Walnut Creek Rd. in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, an extraordinary opportunity to own a stunning, energy-efficient home designed by well-known artist/sculptor Rich Griendling, who incorporated aesthetics, engineering integrity and energy-efficient philosophies into the home’s design. Form meets function: Offering dynamic living space, this one-of-a-kind home provides inspiration, warmth and tranquility from the moment you step through the door. Primary features include a light and airy open floor plan with 21’ wood ceilings, 5” oak-trimmed baseboards throughout, a breathtaking double-helix oak spiral staircase, 41 oak-trimmed front windows and built-in oak cabinetry. The bank of windows provides abundant natural light and magnificent views of the private, 23-acre meadow. Timeless and innovative design elements in the bathrooms and kitchen, a fold-out pantry, plus an indoor fountain add to the home’s unique features. The spiral staircase at the home’s entrance leads to a 108’ long loft area with oak library shelves, a game room and model train layout running the entire length of the loft space. The home includes two primary ensuite bedrooms, plus three additional bedrooms, all on the ground level. Location: Featured in Fine Homebuilding, the home is located on a private, no-outlet street on the outskirts of Elizabethtown, near medical offices, recreational facilities, and shopping centers. Passive and active solar plus geothermal: The home’s design is passive solar – the building materials, orientation and site harness the power of the sun to naturally heat and cool the space. The house also has a bank of active solar panels mounted on the rolled-steel roof, and geothermal heat pumps take advantage of the constant underground temperatures to efficiently exchange temperatures, heating the home in winter and cooling it in the summer. The total cost to heat and cool the 5,000 square foot home is under $20 a month.
