They help with the chores and look after the children. Even the Davises' chocolate Labrador retriever, Hershey, seems to get special attention. The home, which has four bedrooms and two baths, has spacious and bright rooms, with one of the most dramatic being the great room featuring a cathedral ceiling and a built-in book case that runs the entire length of one of the walls. The couple were looking for more space when they decided to sell their northeast Tallahassee home several years ago. After looking throughout the area, they settled on the large lots and rural setting of Chemonie Crossing.
All features combine to create a touch of antebellum appeal.
Their home also features a large backyard deck that Greg built and a rose garden planted by Aleta near the couple's master-bedroom windows. Inside, two sets of French doors lead from the Kellers' great room to their Florida room. Transoms above the doors provide additional light and add spaciousness to the surroundings. It's like a small town here' When Dan and Karen Murphy moved to Chemonie Crossing four years ago, there was only one other house on their street. Dean Witter Real Estate Co. Karen owns her own public-relations firm, Murphy Communications, and is the president of the Florida Public Relations Association.
