Southern House Plans & Historic Home Plans From

This home is full of southern charm, and at only 25' wide, it's ideal for those with narrow lots. The covered entry piazza and upper piazza are supported by decorative box columns, providing the home with additional outdoor living spaces as well as attractive design elements.

After coming in from the covered piazza, you enter a foyer space with a coat closet and an open stairwell. To the left of the front door there is a study or guest suite with a walk–in closet and a view through tall windows to the front of the house, and full bath that doubles as a guest powder room. If you turn right upon entering the house, you enter an open family room with a large central fireplace and optional built–ins on either side of it. This gathering area is open to both the kitchen and the dining room. The kitchen features a center island for additional workspace, and a raised eating or serving bar that divides the kitchen from the dining room. Off the dining room there is a small room for a home office, and two doors that open onto a private outdoor patio space.

The upper loft area is naturally lit from the windows in the stairwell and the glazed door that opens onto the upper piazza. The master suite has a pair of doors that open on to the upper piazza, and the master bath features a private toilet room, both a tub and a separate shower, two sinks, and a spacious walk–in closet. There's a conveniently located laundry room, a linen closet, a full bath, and two additional bedrooms with walk–in closets located on this floor.

This house plan also comes with drawings for a detached two–car garage.

Foundation Info
This house was originally designed to have a crawlspace foundation. However, if you prefer a basement or slab foundation, these are fairly simple and inexpensive changes that your builder can often make for you.

Please Note
This house was originally designed for a couple in Charlotte, North Carolina, who (understandably) do not want another house just like theirs built nearby. If you're planning to build within a 50–mile radius of downtown Charlotte, the designer needs to approve the location before he'll grant a copyright release allowing you to legally build the house. Just give us the address or location of your property, via email or phone –– and we'll get back to you right away.

Electronic Format
These plans were drawn using a well–known and highly respected architectural design software program called SoftPlan (version 13). This software can export the same files in .dwg format, so they can also be modified by anyone who uses AutoCAD, which is nearly universal. The CD for this plan includes the files in both SoftPlan and AutoCAD–ready .dwg, as well as in .pdf for easy viewing on your home or office computer.
