On sunny summer afternoons, this west facing home was scorching! Rainier power screens are a more cost effective cooling solution than traditional air conditioning, but still allow the homeowners to enjoy their beautiful waterfront view.

The screened porch is accessible from the dining area, but more impressively, by a 16 foot wide sliding glass door across the back wall of the Family Room. When fully opened, an 8 foot wide opening is created- making a complete extension of our living and eating areas fully integrated. Designed and built by Terramor Homes in Raleigh, NC. Photography: M.

Expansive patio and fold-back doors brings the outdoors indoors and enhances the living area, winter and summer. Pool, garden and deck overlooked by master balcony.

This home was tight on space, so the second floor was expanded to give us room for a larger master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two large balconies and plenty of closet space for a second home. This a the view of the larger outdoor balcony, perfect for lounging with friends and family.
