Located in the village of Walker Landing, this charming residence, designed by Jim Strickland of Historical Concepts, is a comforting and livable retreat within a natural and pristine setting.  The overall siting of the main house, guest house, and garage around a massive live oak provides a sense of balance and symmetry to the compound.  Exterior columns in an open fretwork form serve to support vines, which soften the exterior facade.  The full-length rear screened porch opens onto a raised antique brick patio with fire pit, as well as a small formal perennial garden.  The core of the home is a large living/dining area with high-beamed ceilings and walls fitted in cypress.  Three sets of French Doors attract light and encourages flow between outdoor and indoor spaces.  A generous kitchen with center island is flanked on one side by a breakfast area and on the other by a morning room, which provides an intimate space for family and friends to gather. The master bedroom has views of the garden, as well as access to the rear porch.  The floors of the home are wide-plank antique heart pine and the fireplace features a lovely ornate antique mantle.
