Southern Grandeur with Everyday Grace

From the moment you arrive under covered arches and past aged brick and rustic timber accents, this plan whispers “You’ve arrived.” The foyer opens dramatically, flanked by a formal dining room and elegant living area—literally setting the table for warm gatherings. 2

Entertainer’s Dream Kitchen & Family Hub

The spacious kitchen is built for guests and home chefs alike, featuring a large island, flows into the breakfast nook, and connects to both a butler’s pantry and walk-in pantry for thoughtful storage.

From there, transition easily into a welcoming family room—complete with built-ins, fireplace, and a seamless line of sight to the screened porch and outdoor kitchen. 3

Work and Play, Well Integrated

An office located just off the porte-cochère is smartly accessible while remaining private—perfect for quiet work, quick errands, or business arrivals that don’t disrupt daily life. 4

Bedrooms Designed for Comfort & Privacy

The luxurious master suite is complete with a pedestal tub surrounded by windows, a dreamy walk-in closet, and direct access to a convenient mudroom. Meanwhile, the more social side features three additional bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and smart access to shared or private baths—perfect for family or overnight guests. 5

Boat Garage & Living + Storage at the Ready

A rare treat—the attached secondary bay for boat storage (around 25′ × 12′) keeps water gear out of the way while remaining easily accessible. Add a mud bench, cubby drop zone, and a laundry room with a built-in dog wash, and this design scores high on both lifestyle and practicality. 6
