drgdrgddrgrgddr Introduction Where you live shapes how you live—and a custom home is where those two things finally meet on your terms. It’s more than square footage or finishes; it’s about morning light in the rooms you use most, easy access to the places that matter to you, and a layout that supports the way your days actually unfold. As a custom home builder, we believe the best homes are designed from the outside in—starting with lifestyle and location, then crafting a space that feels effortless, personal, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Restoring a historic home requires careful planning and a deep appreciation for preserving its unique character and heritage. While there is no strict, universal definition, a home is typically considered historic if it's at least 50 years old and retains a significant degree of its original architectural features. Homes may be recognized as historic at the local, state, or national level, meaning they are protected and subject to specific regulations for preservation and restoration. We connected with Crawford Builders , experts in luxury home building and historic restoration, to gather seven key tips for breathing new life into older properties. The firm's leadership, including Kimberly Crawford-Adams, John Shepherd, George Hammack, and Terri Crawford, is presently immersed in a significant restoration of 236 Clay Avenue , a stunning 94-year-old colonial in Ashland Park. The home is currently offered for sale, represented by Christy Helton of Christie’s International Real Estate Bluegrass.
