The Scout Guide: Custom Home in Point Clear
A home is many things, it is a feeling and it is a reflection of those who reside there. The home’s design is a classic take on a dogtrot where an open plan from front to back is perfect for casual entertaining, life is at the center of the home, and the openness fosters a oneness with the outdoor. The roofline from the outside boasts what you would think was a typical Gulf Coast low profile cottage, but then you walk inside the front door and are taken by surprise by the spacious interior.
