Simply Spectacular!! This one-of-a-kind beauty was built to perfection by R.C. Peoples Builders working in collaboration with Southern Living Magazine to create this exquisite showcase home. The floor plan combines livability and function without sacrificing the little extras that make this home so special. The delightful wide open floor plan offers ceilings that range from 20 feet high in the great room to 10 feet high in the primary bedroom to 9 feet in other rooms. Raising the ceilings isn't the only thing the builder did. They made them dramatic as well - in the great room with a vaulted ceiling and tray ceilings in other areas. Top-of-the line materials and fixtures are evident throughout, including three-piece crown molding, gorgeous updated ceramic tile baths and the list just goes on. The grand entrance with slate flooring, crown molding and a 10' ceiling is very welcoming.
