On the site of the historic Oxmoor Farm, the 301-unit Upton Oxmoor in Louisville, Kentucky, sits at the crossroads of cutting-edge modern living and the rich heritage of six generations of commonwealth history.

The architecture of the community, developed by NTS Development Co., and designed by Niles Bolton Associates, reflects an updated farmhouse aesthetic, with gabled roofs and building scale and proportions that echo Midwest barns. However, while the style may evoke bygone days, it has a wealth of modern amenities to elevate the living environment.

The center of the resident connection is the Bullitt House, named to connect the rich history to the land’s next chapter. Unlike a typical clubhouse, the Bullitt House was designed to deliver an elevated amenity experience through its comfortable and luxurious living spaces, which encourage residents to gather, relax, work, and entertain. Bullitt House’s functional spaces were created to host culture-cultivating events and for delivering sought-after experiences such as vitamin IV treatments, cosmetic spa services, farmers markets, pop-up shops, and food truck events.

“The Bullitt House does more than accommodate the needs of our residents. It provides the opportunity to elevate their everyday life. Access to the cutting-edge amenities, a confidence-building work space, and innovative social events creates a complete, connected, and bolden living experience that allows our residents to live their best lives,” noted the nomination.
