Milton Residence

Green Building and Design - Milton

World travelers who enjoy entertaining, this retired couple wanted a home with plenty of space to display their collections, with gathering spaces both casual and formal, indoors and out. A double-sided fireplace between the dining nook and a more formal dining area can lend atmosphere and warmth to both areas. A screened, finished porch provides an outside room from which they can enjoy their lush landscaping year-round.  This home is located in a solar home development, and produces power for Progress Energy through photovoltaic panels on the roof.
