Location

Belle Meade, Tennessee

Description

Inspired by coastal Carolina historic country estates, this house makes possible the client’s wish for gracious southern living based on “Low Country” architectural forms and details. And too, these same historic aesthetics, which include a raised foundation, deep broad porches and high ceilings, provide the very modern advantage or keeping the house cool in hot southern summers. A generous central hall with a large living room and dining room to each side all open through tall French doors on to a grand columned veranda across the front of the house. Attendant first floor rooms include a large gourmet kitchen, a glass conservatory gallery, and an en-suite master bedroom to the sides and rear of the house. Under the broad sloping roof are four large bedrooms with shared private bathrooms on the second floor.
