This custom-built Southern-style home combines a welcoming front porch with light siding, brick accents and a varied gabled roofline. Wood-toned double entry doors and carefully detailed trim introduce the home’s warm, traditional character.

The open great room centers on a brick fireplace framed by built-in shelving. High ceilings and generous windows keep the living area bright, while the adjoining kitchen brings together white cabinetry, a large island and coordinated lighting and hardware. A home office with deep blue built-in bookcases adds a distinct change of color.

Outdoor living is a major part of this project. A covered patio includes a fireplace and outdoor kitchen, with brick steps leading to a terrace and fire-pit area. These connected spaces offer ideas for homeowners who want room to gather both indoors and outside.
