1607 Druid Circle III

I'm ecclectic in my taste for houses, but I love old houses the most. I grew up in a small town in north Texas where old victorian houses reigned on tree-lined streets. It wasn't hard to imagine ladies sitting on porches in white lawn dresses sipping southern sweet tea (if its not so sweet it hurts your teeth, it's not southern sweet tea) or playing croquet on lawns so green and thick they looked like carpet.

Of course, all of those houses were white, but as a general rule, or so the research I've done tells me, Victorian era houses were rarely white, inside or outside. There are as many color schemes as there are individiual imaginations, from the more subtle colors of nature to the bold and flashy Painted Ladies.

I stumbled on a few sites with authentic and/or historic floorplans and found this lovely little victorian that I knew I had to try to build. I hope I have done justice to it.

It is designed to re-capture the charm and ambience of turn-of-the-century houses. While it does look like an older home, the floorplan is designed to accomodate modern lifestyles.

It features a single story floor plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, formal dining room and a 2 car garage. It is perfect for a small family. There is plenty of room for gardening and expansion, up, down, or out.

*NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS*

The garage door is darker than it should be, that is a quirk of the 1.8.25 patch. I looked into it and the only 'fix' I could find is putting lights as close behind the garage doors as possible.

The intensity of all of the lights in the images were set to dim due to another quirk of the patch where all light colors had a glare.

The house was on a large lot for picture taking purposes.
