The Carolina

This home started with a promise to build it right. Its owners and their design team had a detailed vision and turned to Verona builder Brio Design Homes to bring it to life with the craftsmanship it deserved.

Expert trim carpentry elevates every space, from wainscoting and crown molding to board-and-batten and wood-plank accent walls and tongue-and-groove ceilings. Timber accent corbels, posts and beams add rich, tactile dimension inside and out.

Standout exterior finishes include a stone facade and custom, horizontally planked wood door.

Built-in cabinetry flanks the great room fireplace in stacked stone with a smooth, modern gray concrete frame and herringbone firebrick. Dual, narrow French doors open from the great room to the patio.

In the kitchen, a vaulted ceiling and decorative timber beam draw the eye upward, but the crowning feature is the soaring arched window.

Black-framed glass pocket doors enclose the primary suite and den when privacy is desired. In the den, the fireplace has a cast-stone surround and live-edge mantel. The vaulted primary suite features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a concrete surround and timber mantel.
