Private residence-central florida

 

 

Drawing from the historical marriage of the Georgian and Caribbean architectural styles found in the Carolinas, and much of the deep south and the Caribbean, this traditional brick home sits perfectly beneath a cool canopy of mature southern oaks which anchor this site in Central Florida.  The home is both stately, yet understated; warm and comfortable.  The classically inspired details are well-crafted and timeless.  It is a home with an instant heritage and one which will be enjoyed for many generations.  Natural materials such as brick, slate, wood beams, stone, wood siding and copper are all combined to create a home with an atmosphere that is both welcoming and pleasing to the eye and the soul.  The deep porches, operable shutters, double-hung windows, ceiling fans and gas lanterns all add to the richness of the home's exterior.  Located at the end of an historic brick street, the house is made up of three distinct parts which form a courtyard and provide a quiet, private lawn for the family to enjoy. 
A separate one-story wing is comprised of a guest house and a classroom for the children.  The third element is an entry porch and pigeonnier which front an auto court and directs visitors to the front door.  The primary rooms are oriented towards a spectacular view of an historic park and reserve.
