Southern Colonial Home

This handsome southern home is reminiscent of the traditional Colonial style, with its classic formal entry porch, multi paned windows throughout, brick exterior (although this is of course one of many options), and dormers at the front and rear to provide additional space on the third level.

The great room, kitchen and breakfast area are completely open to each other. The kitchen is quite large, and it includes a center work island with a conveniently located prep sink. A door in the corner of the kitchen opens to a screened porch with its own grill, counters and sink for easy outdoor dining, and another door leads to a large area that includes a walk–in pantry, space for an office desk, a laundry room, an extra refrigerator or freezer, and a full bath. A hallway off the laundry area leads to a 3 car garage, but it can be easily eliminated if you prefer a detached garage. The ceilings throughout the main level are 11' high.

On the second level you'll find three roomy bedrooms and the master suite. The master bedroom features a large fireplace, and a 10'–deep covered deck that spans the entire width of the house. The master bath has a tub and a separate shower, two vanity sinks, a private toilet room, and a large walk–in closet. Bedrooms 2 and 4 share a full bath, while Bedroom 3 has its own private full bath. A closet off of the hall accommodates another washer and dryer for added convenience.

Due to the site conditions of the original house, there is a hallway with steps down to the three car garage. The garage has a second level with a bedroom, a full bath, a kitchenette, and a living space. Three dormers along one side allow additional head height in the sloped ceilings.
