Getting Artistic in Aberdeen

The winding streets of Aberdeen are next to Joe Creason Park and minutes away from Bardstown Road, which is a locally famous hub for shopping, eating and coffee drinking, not to mention live theater experience and unique attractions. Aberdeen is near several schools and it's close to the Lakeside Swim Club but the streets here are very quiet. Aberdeen is an almost totally residential neighborhood, a picturesque collection of curving streets and sidewalks and tall trees.

Not to mention, the real estate. Large, two-story homes sit back on spacious lawns with inviting front walkways surrounded by little shrubs and pretty details. Many homes here are built in brick and siding with traditional styling, the timeless and classic sort of home design that's not ever going to be out of style.

These homes have three and four bedrooms and bathrooms and that’s just the beginning. Expect to see shining hardwood, fireplaces, stainless steel, breathtaking stone counters and utterly beautiful home design when you're here. These houses are a beautiful blend of classic traditional style and modern home trends.

In other words, these houses are definitely portrait worthy. See how Aberdeen inspires you this March. Maybe this neighborhood will get your artistic juices flowing.
