Blue Cut Lane is an unassuming cul-de-sac around the corner from Indian Hill’s main north-south artery of Given Road; it contains just five properties. This two-story home, a customized 1978 build with a split personality, is one of them. The construction style is “transitional,” which means it’s inspired by traditional design elements while also containing telltale modern updates. The result is familiar and cohesive yet fresh and approachable. Indeed, the white brick construction at the end of the wide brick driveway reads old-school Indian Hill, while inside, the open floor plan, eccentric color palettes, natural materials, and vaulted ceiling/skylight combos are more current.

Whatever decade you associate this home with, you’ll enjoy its 6,200 square feet of living space, spread generously over three bedrooms (one of which has been converted into an oversized walk-in closet). “Comfort” is the key word at 8425 Blue Cut, with a spacious entryway, multiple fireplaces, tiled sunroom, full finished basement, and a whopping five full bathrooms (plus one half). There are multiple common rooms—living, family, dining, breakfast, and “flexible” rec rooms—and closets and built-in shelving throughout. A broad bay window in the living room overlooks the private tree-shaded drive. And the kitchen features attractive lava stone countertops (an extremely durable enameled volcanic rock) and a large island fitted with a gas range and wine fridge. The well-furnished kitchen checks out: The seller is none other than Martin Wade, former CEO of Rookwood Pottery. He and his then-wife, Marilyn Scripps Wade, added a number of those famous decorative tiles to the home.

Just a few steps out back, the heated in-ground lap pool is surrounded by substantial patio stones. It abuts what is perhaps the property’s most impressive feature: a detached three-car garage with a second-story guest suite, complete with homey living space and “treehouse” views of the surrounding woods.
