Plantation Style Home

The kitchen is open to a lovely sunroom/family room that is wrapped with windows on two sides. The tongue & groove wood ceiling is graced with decorative exposed beams that radiate off a central spine that runs diagonally through the room. A pair of 3'–wide glazed doors open to the rear screened porch, which has an optional fireplace at one end.

The landing on the upper level provides access to up to three bedrooms. Each bedroom has windows on three walls for light, views, and cross ventilation. Bedroom 3 has its own full bath, while 2 and 4 share one. Bedroom 2 – which could serve several other purposes if you don't need four bedrooms – has three pairs of glazed doors that open out to a 12'–deep screened porch, and a ceiling that vaults in the center. The other rooms on this level have 9' ceilings.

The right side of the house is dedicated to the master suite. The bedroom has a fireplace facing the bed, decorative exposed beams on the ceiling, and a pair of doors flanked by windows that open out to the screened porch. The bath features a soaking tub beneath three windows, a shower with a bench and a drying area, two sinks, a separate built–in vanity, and a private toilet room. And off the bath area there is a very large walk–in closet. Across the hall from the bedroom there's a sitting room that could also be used as a den, a guest room, or a home office. This room can also be accessed from the front porch.
