The front porch of the HGTV Dream Home 2013 is elevated to combat flooding and hurricane damage. The front door is preceded by a beautiful mahogany railing and Southern yellow pine timber beams.
Coastal Home Exterior With Horizontal Porch Design
The craftsman facade of the HGTV Dream Home 2013 shows an elevated front porch with support piers and exposed steel hurricane strapping to prevent storm damage. A horizontal mahogany porch railing stands out against the sage exterior and Southern yellow pine timber beams.
This elevated front porch, inspired by farmhouses and low country cottages, features yellow pine timbers, mahogany handrails, and aluminum railings with a nautical feel.
A wood such as mahogany and a rough-hewn basalt wall of cherry, adds warmth to nearly every space in this luxury home. A strategically conceived floor plan beginning in the kitchen contributes to the house’s railing contrast with the feeling of unity.
