Love it, especially that porch , and the entryway and the staircase down to the Family Room. Beautiful. They did use a lot of blue though.

That is a really beautiful house.  I could move in tomorrow.  (Or today, if I'm really pushed!)  The murals on the walls of the dining room are lovely; serene.  

 

I'd spend a lot of time on that porch, with a good book and a cold drink.

 

I don't think there's a thing I'd change.  Would love to see the upstairs rooms.

Everything in the house is elegant and grand.

 

Honestly, I could live in that beautiful hall. Stunning.

 

Love the blue kitchen. The dining room is different and just charming. The chandelier is so pretty.

 

I would sit on the outside porch every opportunity I had.

 

Thank you @stevieb for your wonderful posts.


Glad you enjoyed seeing it @DSD2 .

Agree @Enufstuff, though there are things I'd change, it's a lovely home.

The dining table/chairs are almost identical to mine (Georgian Court,Chippendale) that I bought at Ethan Allen almost 35 yrs ago. Love the foyer and the room off the staircase.

Beautiful, exqusite home.  I would love to visit there and see this grandiose home but it is far too grand for me.  I would love to visit, however, not for long.  I would be so afraid I might need to use the bathroom and I would not want to mess up their beautiful home.  I do hope they have a full-time housekeeper.  It is one of those dream homes.  My other would have loved to have this and take care of it and we would not be allowed to stay inside until dark.

I love much about this house, but not some of the furnishing. especially the Duncan Phyfe tables.

 

Duncan Phyfe has a column from which come 3 legs.

The brass leg ends often resemble paws.

There is much appeal and beauty in this home.  I love the inviting entryway, elegant. The dining area is beautiful especially the murals on the wall.  I also love the couches with the fringe on the bottom.  All in all lots of space and appeal.

Re: Classic Traditional in Carolina...

Very beautiful home! I really love the back porch area!
Not sure about the orange sofas, and there's a bit too much blue for me, but overall, I like it.
