The concept

A Tidewater concept built around a two-story covered porch. The Heron runs its porch the full width of the front on slender columns, deep enough to sit out in weather, with creamy painted brick below a steep slate-look roof. Tall windows carry daylight well back into the plan.

Concept highlights

  • Two-story covered front porch on slender columns
  • Great room opening to a rear terrace
  • Kitchen with a working island and walk-in pantry
  • Main-level primary suite
  • Study off the entry hall
  • Three-car garage set back from the front elevation
