AUTHENTIC SOUTHERN FLAIR IN A SMALL AFFORDABLE HOME With the appearance of a much larger southern historic home, the small size of this delightful 3 bed room, 2 bath mini mansion will allow those on modest budgets to live grand in classical style . The floor plan is open, spacious and airy featuring 9’ ceilings and large windows for maximum view and light. The kitchen is fully functional featuring an island with a raised eating bar. The kitchen cabinets extend to the front wall providing a buffet serving area with built-in wine rack to serve the dining room. The kitchen and dining areas have exposed beams, a built in pantry and easy access to the nearby utility room. Glass shelves separate the dining room from the foyer providing space to display family treasures while maintaining the open look. The living room has soaring 2 story ceilings with exposed beams plus there is a 9’ sliding glass door opening to the rear porch. A built in ladder near the foyer provides easy access to the abundant attic storage which is also accessible via a pull down stair located in the rear porch ceiling. The large wrap around rear porch is designed to take advantage of the slightest breeze and it is sized for rocking chairs. A large front porch is also full depth to provide that down home feel and it is great for spending lazy afternoons, just like at grand mothers home. The master suite is conveniently located and it has a full bath with a walk-in closet comparable to much larger homes. In addition, there are two additional bed rooms which share the hall bath. One of the secondary bedrooms has a built in desk and twin closets making it a perfect choice for the student As if that were not enough, this is a super energy saving home featuring 2x6 exterior walls plus a host of other design techniques designed to save energy but without adding cost to the construction.

FAQs

Are designs on Houseplans ready to submit to my building department for permitting?

It depends on where you're building. Our plans contain enough information for a professional builder to construct your home, but your local government may require additional information before permitting. We strongly advise that you talk with your builder before you get started. If you are building for yourself, we recommend visiting your local building department to start your diligence. Read more here.

Can I make changes to a plan?

Absolutely! Our modification service allows you to customize almost anything - whether it's adding an extra garage bay, adjusting square footage, changing the roof pitch, or more, the plan modification service is a great value and can be completed quickly. Additionally, if you purchase an electronic plan set (PDF or CAD), you may have the option to make changes locally. CAD files offer the most flexibility for custom edits. Just let us know what you're thinking, and we’ll provide an estimate and timeframe to get started. Learn more here.

How much does a house cost to build?

Find out! Build costs vary based on the size of the home, materials used, and local rates for goods and labor. Our Cost to Build report is a great way to get some basic costs dialed in before you order your plans. Just plug in your postal code, select your desired construction quality, and we'll calculate for you.
