There are neighborhoods that people move into, and then there are neighborhoods that people wait for. Old Taylor Place has quietly remained one of North Oldham's most cherished communities because it was designed differently from the very beginning. Wide one-acre homesites, winding roads, peaceful common green spaces, a neighborhood pavilion, a catch-and-release fishing pond, and an equestrian spirit complete with a community horse barn and paddocks—all coupled with a slower rhythm of everyday life—create a neighborhood where children still ride bikes to the playground, neighbors gather for movie nights and bonfires, and evening walks naturally become part of the day. With horses grazing nearby at the area's iconic Hermitage Farm, the landmark gazebo welcoming you home, and a genuine of community, coming home to Old Taylor Place feels like a deep exhale. Set within this remarkable community, 1302 Old Taylor Trail reflects the same thoughtful approach. Every space is intentional. Each update respects the home's original character while elevating it for the way you want to live today. From the moment the double entry doors open, the home welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, striking natural stone, and an abundance of natural light. Oversized picture windows, transom windows, skylights, and expansive sliding glass doors invite the surrounding landscape into nearly every room, creating spaces that feel open, warm, and restfully connected to the outdoors. The heart of the home unfolds across three beautifully connected living spaces. The spacious family room makes an unforgettable first impression with its dramatic mono-vault ceiling and floor-to-ceiling stone accent wall. The stone continues seamlessly into the adjoining hearth room, where a wood-burning fireplace creates an inviting place to gather. Together with the dining room and kitchen, these spaces flow effortlessly, allowing conversations to continue whether you're preparing dinner, hosting family holidays, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. Completely reimagined in 2024, the kitchen balances exceptional craftsmanship with everyday functionality. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, gold hardware, subway tile, crown molding, and an oversized contrasting island with seating for six create a space that is equally beautiful and practical. A six-burner gas range beneath a custom hood, double wall ovens, beverage cooler, pull-out pantry shelving, custom spice drawers, a mixer lift, and soft-close cabinetry reflect the thoughtful craftsmanship found throughout the home. Skylights and surrounding windows fill the room with natural light while offering views toward the neighborhood gazebo and front landscape. The main-level primary suite was designed as a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, and generous windows (with remote controlled blinds). An adjoining flex space offers endless possibilities as a private office, reading room, fitness space, sitting area, or nursery, while two walk-in closets provide exceptional storage. The spa-inspired ensuite bath feels quietly luxurious with dual natural stone vessel sinks, natural stone flooring, and an oversized skylit walk-in shower featuring three showerheads, including a rain shower, beautifully accented with subway tile and pebble stone. The walk-out lower level continues the home's thoughtful design with an expansive recreation room centered around a second floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, along with three additional bedrooms, a flexible fourth bedroom or office space, and one-and-a-half baths. Whether used for entertaining, movie nights, game days, or multi-generational living, the space adapts effortlessly to changing needs while offering direct access to the covered patio and backyard beyond. Outside, the home feels every bit as intentional as the interior. Set well back from the road on a private one-acre homesite, the property offers multiple outdoor living spaces for gathering, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. From the welcoming front porch to the expansive upper deck and covered lower patio, there is always a perfect place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Mature landscaping, a gently flowing creek, and wooded views create an outdoor environment that feels both private and inviting. An attached side-entry garage, basketball hoop, and storage shed complete the property's exceptional outdoor amenities. Behind the scenes, the home has been extensively updated to provide confidence for years to come. Recent improvements include a fully remodeled kitchen (2024), new roof and three skylights (2024), new HVAC system (2025), all new windows (2022), five new sliding glass doors (2023), new electrical panel (2024), new gutters (2025), freshly painted exterior (2023), freshly painted front porch (2026), and a newly sealed driveway (2025). 1302 Old Taylor Trail is more than a beautifully updated home. It is a place where the architecture, the renovations, the landscape, and the neighborhood all tell the same story—one of thoughtful design, lasting quality, and a way of living that's becoming increasingly rare.
