Surrounded by pine trees and nestled beside a lake, the east-facing back porch offers unrivaled views of the sunrise. The home, designed by Pursley Dixon Architects is situated amid the state’s iconic palms and freshwater creeks. One of the home’s most exquisite elements is a large porch – where visitors can relax, converse and enjoy the idyllic views of the May River. The simple materials of brick, board-and-batten, and tin roofing are humble, yet configured to create spaces with gorgeous proportions. The two-story interior core of the house is planked in wood, a material usually reserved for the less important rooms of an antebellum home. Structured on 2 levels, the crib boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms. Materials like the marble in the bathroom and kitchen, wooden floors and paneling create a harmonious collection of interior and exterior living spaces updated to the needs of a modern family. The home’s décor brings the outdoors in with its use of blues, whites and warm neutrals. How would you see yourself living here?
