SCENIC SURROUNDINGS PROVIDE THE EXPERIENCE O F A N O N G O I N G VA C A T I O N . Upon stepping into Cinda and Rodes Brown’s home, you cannot help but feel a sense of serenity. Perhaps it’s the large breathtaking painting of a beachscape by artist Jordan Zanes that greets you. Or the open and airy floorplan. Or the expansive view out the windows of a placid lake surrounded by trees and backed by the rolling hills of Warren Rosenthal’s Patchen Wilkes Farm. Regardless, it induces a deep breath and relaxed sigh. Rodes, a practicing attorney at the Jackson Kelly law firm with a focus on real estate law, agrees, “We feel like we’re on vacation.” Cinda adds, “Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like we’re still in Lexington, but downtown is only about ten minutes away.” It was the natural surroundings coupled with convenience that made their Patchen Wilkes Townhome irresistible. Initially, the Browns were looking at the home as an investment property, but decided it was too perfect not to keep for themselves. Cinda, a nurse practitioner, who recently retired from the VA Hospital after 21 years, was ready for maintenance-free living. They have since purchased a second Patchen townhome, which they are currently renting. Photos By | K E N I P A R K S Written By | D O N N A I S O N
