Perfect for summer—and every season after
Estate-size lots, wooded privacy, and rolling terrain make Indian Hill the ideal backdrop for an indoor–outdoor lifestyle. Hensley Homes designs every transition—from great room to covered terrace—to feel effortless, elegant, and built for real life.
One continuous living space
We engineer flush floor transitions so hardwood meets stone or bluestone on a single plane. That seamless threshold isn’t just beautiful; it’s safer for kids, guests, and aging-in-place—and it keeps furniture layouts simple inside and out.
Walls that disappear (and reappear)
Large-format retractable glass walls bring breezes, views, and conversation to the center of your home. Pair them with motorized screens and you’ll use your terrace at dusk without inviting the bugs to dinner.
Microclimates by design
Cincinnati summers sizzle and shoulder seasons surprise. We layer comfort with:
- Infrared heaters tucked into ceiling coffers
- Outdoor-rated fans to move air gently
- Two-sided fireplaces that warm the porch and great room
- Optional radiant heat beneath stone terraces for spring and fall gatherings
Result: a space you’ll enjoy nine months a year, not just in August.
Kitchens that host the whole party
From pizza ovens and teppan griddles to concealed trash pullouts and vented hoods, our outdoor kitchens are planned like interior kitchens—work zones, landing areas, and durable surfaces that age gracefully. Add an undercounter ice maker and beverage column so traffic stays outdoors.
Privacy without the fortress look
Indian Hill living means neighbors you know and views you’ll love. Thoughtful landscape screening, site walls, and tree placement protect sightlines to pools and terraces while keeping vistas open to the lawn, meadow, or woods.
Lighting that sets the mood
We layer path, task, and accent lighting with warm color temperatures so faces look natural and stonework glows. One-touch scenes (Dinner • Game Night • After Hours) make entertaining easy.
Sound that stays where you want it
Weatherproof speakers discreetly blend into plantings or soffits, with zoning that keeps music lively on the terrace and conversation-friendly by the fireplace.
Built to last, not to baby
We specify outdoor-rated finishes—powder-coated metals, marine-grade cabinetry, UV-stable fabrics, and non-slip stone—to handle summer storms and everyday spills. Hardware and drainage details are planned early so maintenance stays light and long-term value stays high.
