The rise in wealth from cotton in pre-Civil War America gave way to grand homes being built on abundant plantations throughout the South. Many characteristics of these homes were derived from French Colonial designs of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The most defining element of the Bousard is the expansive entry with high archway above, using a stately colonial brick facade and connecting it to the curved walls of the Foyer. Its luxurious design, recalls the glory days of the South, combining the finest amenities of today and still offering all the comforts of the colonial home.
A curved staircase in the open ceiling Foyer, is the first impression of this stunning home. It is the place where family photos are taken for weddings, proms, birthdays, and other family get-togethers.
Clever design of the arched entry, curved walls in the Foyer and elegant curved stairway with open Balcony upstairs, complete the grand entrance. All of the bedrooms are on the second level. One end has two bedrooms that share a full bath, and are conveniently located near the upper level Laundry Room. The rest of this level is dedicated to the master suite. The master bedroom has front octagon windows. A large walk–in closet separates the bedroom from the spacious Master Bath and its roman tub. In the opposite corner is a 2-person walk-in shower.
A very large open floor plan continues to the kitchen, dining and living areas of the home, all with 9 foot high ceilings. A corner fireplace visually grounds the room, while a half-octagon Tea Room off the Living Room or a similar Deck off the Breakfast Nook can be used for any occasion.
Full walk-out Basement can be designed and finished to your specifications. Wide open floor in the Basement can utilize "in-laws suite" or a large Game Room.
