Step Outside - A view from the balcony

I think this view from the upstairs balcony is especially pretty. It opens from two of the three bedrooms upstairs, over the kitchen and family room.
This shot give a great view of the house design discussed earlier- the "main" portion of the house seen across the red standing seam roof and the other part appearing to have been built to join later.
..........and this one is the best to show the actual design of the house. To the right is the master bedroom "wing" shown previously.Over to the far left, you can see the two story section of the house and the balcony. The upstairs has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. I love this view. While it is definitely a hill country house, I sometimes think from back here it looks like an old Southern home in any number of different places!

  2. melanie, thank you for coming back! I love New England and Nantucket, in particular. I know what you mean - it is sort of classic American, like a grand, old country house......I can't take credit for the design, but I think the architect did a lovely job of giving a new house a great blend of old and new features.

  4. I love this view too. I love to look at pictures of houses and try to figure out the floor plan. I must admit yours gave me a hard time at first, but I finally have it down and actually think I could draw it out perfectly! the master bedroom wing threw me at first - but now I know it's on it's own over on the left side. I love that particular porch off the bedroom room in the back. If I lived there, I'd be on that porch late at night on my computer, right outside from Ben, snoring, while watching Jewelry TV or some exciting football game.
