Southern Vintage: Where Modern and Rustic Meet

Our Broker/ Owner, Dave Parks and John Allgeier, CEO of Southern Vintage recently joined WAVE 3 Listens Live to discuss unique ways to take design, update and beautify your home. 

Southern Vintage uses rustic reclaimed wood from 100 year old barns to create unique furniture, flooring and sidings. They do this to create an unexpected combination of styles, textures, and elements recreated into something new, beautiful and timeless.

"We want to allow customers to have an experience that is not normal in our industry, and that excites us. We're passionate about it." - John Allgeier

That passion carries over into the unique design and styles that Southern Vintage offers. Some of the more unique and beautiful things that the company creates are live edge furniture pieces. Live edge furniture delivers practicality, beauty, warmth and nature all at once. Southern Vintage carefully selects their timber to ensure they can preserve the character of each piece. The rough edges of our furniture are left to be what they were in nature, but we plane the pieces to reveal rich wood grain inside.

"This not only brings value but also brings history, it brings something timeless and it allows people to actually come in and add an essence to a room you cannot get unless it is reclaimed." - John Allgeier 

With Louisville continuing to grow in popularity and homes becoming more and more desirable, there are some unique ways...

This year Ball Homes rolled out a new series of homes aimed to retain the building integrity, range of features, and warranty coverage buyers have come to expect, but at a lower price point.

The Trend Collection premiered in Louisville at Parkside at Mt. Washington. Parkside is a conservation subdivision offering lots of open space and a great location next door to McNeeley Lake Park and Quail Chase Golf Course. This beautiful neighborhood design includes a pond and wooded areas in the open spaces. This Mount Washington location is convenient to the Gene Snyder and I-65.

Smart design makes these floor plans versatile and affordable.  Carefully selected contemporary products and designer finishes make them beautiful. These floor plans capture the best of modern design, with open concept living and flexible spaces.  Homes range from 1610sf to over 2700sf, and all have two-car garages and three or more bedrooms.

What we are hearing from buyers is that they most appreciate the streamlined selection and design process, making it even easier and faster to build your dream home. Designer upgrade packages and individual upgrades are available to enhance kitchens, master baths, interiors and more.
