Michael and Nancy Taylor bought their Cypress Bend house -- one of the largest in the Lakes -- in 2003.  While the landscaping certainly adds to its curb appeal, what really caught the eye of the Home of the Month committee was the front of the house itself. 

The house was repainted in 2006 in a very attractive color and design.  The tinted windows added to the elegant look.  But the awning over the front entrance was the finishing touch to this month's selection of the Home of the Month.
