Home Design Carolina Charm

This lovely and spacious home was inspired by the traditional architecture of North and South Carolina. This classic look begins with the covered porches at the front (on the main level) and rear (on the upper level), which are framed with square white columns.

These and other traditional exterior features, along with all the wood shuttered windows, give this home its southern charm. A unique octagonal tower projecting from the left side of the house continues up to a quiet and private third floor observatory, with all three levels providing 270–degree views!

Arched pocket doors from the kitchen open onto a dining room at the rear, which is also open to a spacious living room with a centrally located fireplace hearth that faces both spaces. Tall windows along the rear wall look out to the backyard, and a pair of glazed doors with a transom window above lead to the rear deck. A hearth room/screened porch is located next to the living room, and it features a large fireplace to keep the room warm during cooler weather. All of the rooms on this floor have dramatic 12' ceilings.

On the upper floor, a short hallway leads to an extraordinary master suite. The large master bedroom features a gas fireplace facing the bed, and a pair of glazed doors that open onto a rear covered porch that spans the entire width of the house. The master bath is separated into different spaces for privacy, with a tub, a shower and a vanity sink in one room, a private toilet in another, and a vestibule space with a second vanity sink. The vestibule opens onto a very large dressing room that is ringed with closets, that then leads to a large walk–in closet and a door to the hallway.
