Community Relations Committee – Update
By Dennis Miller

This month wraps up the year for the 2011 Community Relations Committee for GLAR with our Milestone’s own Sherry Spanyer assuming the role of Committee Chair.  She will do a great job as Lester Sanders did this past year.

We accomplished many things for many people and organizations from all areas of our community.  Projects included VIPS, Repair Affair, Bowl-a-thon, the GLAR  Golf Outing  which raised over $9,000 with proceeds being split evenly between St. John Center for the Homeless and Gilda’s Club Louisville, Pay It Forward Campaign which benefited fifteen individuals or organizations and Camp Quality 2011 that supports children with cancer.  In spite of the difficult times for those in Louisville houses, it has been a great year being able to touch so many lives in a positive way. The Miller Team takes great pride in being able to participate.   In closing, I would like to share our video from this year’s Camp Quality.

Enjoy the video and let me know if you would like to be part of next year’s event.

709 Canefield Ct

709 Canefield Ct

MRC – What distinctive features set this home apart?

Mary – The current sellers are avid outdoor enthusiasts and had been looking for a home that showcased the natural beauty of Kentucky. They found that and more at 709 Canefield Court.  The home sits on 1 acre of walnut and cedar trees. The wall of windows in the two story family room overlooks the lush backyard, and fills the home with natural light. The first floor master suite, and well designed theatre room combine to create the perfect retreat. To enhance the wildlife observations, there is even an installed animal feeder and wildlife camera on the property.

MRC – Can you describe the architectural style of this property?

Mary – The architectural style of this home would be considered traditional with a large Southern front porch. Yet, boasts an open and spacious floor plan.

MRC – Have there been any recent renovations or upgrades?

Mary – This Richmond property has been professionally painted throughout with Sherwin Williams Cashmere paint. Custom window blinds, a tile backsplash in the kitchen, and custom shower doors were installed.  You’ll truly enjoy living in this home, and admire TLC that is has received!

MRC – What are the advantages of the location & neighborhood?

Mary – There is a scenic walking trail in Shiloh Pointe that winds through the woods, and takes you to the Upper Hines Creek.  It’s a great place to observe wildlife, while sitting at the picnic benches overlooking the water! Just minutes from Shiloh Pointe is the White Hall Historic site, which has recently opened a public fishing lake, running trail, playground, and picnic pavilion.

MRC – What amazing views will the new homeowner be able to enjoy?

Mary – The house on Canefield Court is full of Seasonal Surprises. During the spring, the canopy of trees cascading over the two-tiered deck made us feel like we were living in a tree house! Squirrels and Hummingbirds provided the entertainment!  In autumn, the colorful splendor of the leaves was a wonderful backdrop, for observing the wild turkeys grazing in the distant fields of the White Hall farm. In winter, the snowy landscape revealed a picturesque setting of white tail deer, as they drank from the stream created by the stone wall on the property.

MRC – What makes the price of the home so great?

Mary – 709 Canefield Court has upscale amenities, such as a Viking fridge, and top of the line theatre components that are generally not offered in this price range. Combined with the showcase condition of the property, both interior and exterior, this home is an excellent investment.

MRC – Is there anything else you’d like to tell us about this home?

Mary – Calling all movie buffs, sports enthusiasts and gamers, this “MAN CAVE”/Theatre room is for you!

If you have any additional questions about 709 Canefield Ct, Richmond KY 40475 or would like to set up a showing please give Mary Layton at Milestone Realty Consultants a call.
