  • A gabled front porch adds character to this traditional southern home design. In back, another porch is accessed from either the living room or the informal eating area.
  • The split-bedroom configuration places the master suite on one side of the living area and the three family bedrooms on the other side, where they share a full bath.
  • In the master suite, a boxed ceiling dresses up the bedroom. Twin walk-in closets line a short hall to the upscale bath with its raised spa tub, separate shower and his-and-her vanities.
  • Another boxed ceiling defines the living room that also boasts a fireplace.
  • The kitchen serves both the informal and formal dining areas. A vaulted ceiling tops the formal dining room.
  • Ceilings: 9' standard; 11' boxed living room; 10' boxed master bedroom.
  • Foundation options: slab or crawl space. Specify when ordering.

Building Code

Because of the wide range of requirements throughout states and municipalities, it is possible that the plans may not have all of the information required by your building department. If this is the case, we recommend hiring a local design professional or engineer who can assist bringing the plans up to your local building code.

Engineering

Some states require that a licensed architect or engineer review and stamp the plans. If this is the case where you will be building, a local professional will be able to assist you.

Important Extras: Sold separately

Readable Reverse Plans

The layout is reversed and all the writing is corrected so you can read the writing. With this option, all of your sets will appear the way you want to build the home. This option is available for an additional charge.

Mirror Reverse Plans

The lettering and dimensions will read backwards, so you will need to order at least one set non-reversed as a reference copy.
