We here at Ball Homes are always looking to improve our collection of floor plans to meet the needs of today's homebuyer. We have recently updated our popular Claremont plan to make the new Claremont II floor plan. This beautiful ranch-style home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and an array of upgrades and options to fit your lifestyle!
Claremont II is a split bedroom plan perfect for people who are ready for a more luxurious design both inside and out. All the convenience of ranch living, plus the option to add an upstairs flex area with an extra 355sf of living space.
The Master suite includes a sitting room that can be accessed from the Family Room, or by optional double French doors direct from the master suite. The master bedroom has a trey ceiling, and the master bath includes a double vanity, tub/shower combination, and linen storage, and a private commode enclosure. Upgrade bath options are also available. A large master closet is divided into dual areas.
The kitchen offers a breakfast bar and separate breakfast area with bay window overlooking the rear yard, and a formal dining room is steps away.
Additional convenience features include a large pantry in the kitchen and a folding counter in the utility room. A traditionally styled front includes a covered porch and distinctive hip roof with dormer windows and shake siding accents.

Ball Homes is again looking forward to one of our annual traditions, the fifth annual Ball Homes Night of Hope. This year’s event takes place on Tuesday, October 29th at 7pm, at the Lexington Opera House. This year's featured speaker will be former NBA player Chris Herren, author of Basketball Junkie and subject of the ESPN documentary Unguarded.
Chris Herren was a high school basketball legend from Fall River, Massachusetts, who realized his lifelong dream of playing for the Boston Celtics only to lose it all to alcohol and drug addiction. In his inspiring way, he draws on his own history to convince audiences that it is never too late to follow your dreams and urges audience members to overcome their setbacks and start making the right choices. Chris now dedicates his life to recovery, family and giving back.
All proceeds from the evening’s festivities go to the Hope Center, to help battle homelessness, addiction and mental illness across Kentucky.
