The Idea House is presented yearly by Southern Living Magazine to provide “design ideas” for homeowners and home buyers. A different Southeastern location is chosen for the home each year.

There are four bedrooms; a bunk room that sleeps four; 5 1/2 baths; a large kitchen; a game room; a sunroom; two-car garage and cart shed; an elevator ready closet; and other living spaces.
Atlanta and New York-based architectural firm Historical Concepts designed the home as a Low Country-style generational home to appear as if additions were made over time, by mixing materials, textures and extensions to the building.
The home will be open for tours through March 29th, 2020. A portion of the $22 admission fee will go to benefit the Amelia Island Museum of History.
