It's great having a builder in the family - especially when he is your husband.  Jerry is, among his many wonderful talents, an incredible builder.  He built our home in Summerfield-By-The-Lake in Crestwood in Oldham County.  Located just over the Jefferson/Oldham line, we love it's convenience to Louisville amenities, and right around the corner is our church (Crestwood Baptist Church).  We also have a CVS Pharmacy and great neighborhood restaurants just minutes away, and we are eagerly awaiting a new Kroger grocery store (coming soon!).  And we're just three minutes from our house to the front door of Starbucks!  I just love the smell of a fat-free, sugar-free vanilla latte in the morning!

It was difficult for me in the beginning.  We had lived in an older subdivision just north of Crestwood called Borowick Farms.  I had gotten used to being surrounded by dense woods and rarely ever seeing a neighbor.  We like our neighbors, but must admit that after being with clients all day it's nice to have peace, quiet, privacy, and a sense of space!  But we found a great lot in Summerfield that backs up to a meadow, so it feels like we're on multiple acreage.  It's not unusual to look out mornings from our sun room and see deer lying down in the meadow behind our home.  The sunsets are breathtaking!

Summerfield is a great place to take a walk.  The sidewalk meanders around the lake where you can watch the ducks, geese, and even swans lazily paddling around in the water.

Homes in Summerfield range from a low of hi $300's to hi $600's.  That number may change if some of the homes presently on the market sell for close to their asking price of up to hi $700's.
