Low Country

Gas lanterns flank a Spanish cedar entry door, with dormers set into the roofline above. Greek Revival proportions on a Low Country frame, which is a combination that reads as Southern before you can name why.

The porch ceiling is painted haint blue, the old Lowcountry practice, and the porch itself is deep enough to actually use. Inside, heart pine runs throughout, beadboard ceilings carry through the living room and the family room, and a brick fireplace anchors the main living space.

Out back, a brick walkway runs to a fountain and a covered pavilion with its own brick fireplace. With the lanterns lit and the garden lighting on, this house is arguably better after dark than it is at noon.
