Originally elevated to avoid flooding, this Southern style has become popular in non-coastal areas. A grand T-shaped staircase ushers you to a wide front porch. Columns mark the formal dining room with tray ceiling that adjoins a large kitchen with both an island and a peninsula bar. The bayed breakfast nook opens to the two-story great room with fireplace and built-ins. Both a screened porch and a deck off the rear extend family living to the outdoors. A first floor master suite is sited to the left for privacy and enjoys a luxurious bath with whirlpool tub, double sinks and two walk-in closets. Plenty of room for family and guests can be found on the second floor with three bedrooms, two full baths and a bridge that overlooks both the foyer and great room below. Ceilings: 9? main level; 8? second floor.
