Bring back times gone by with this opulently graceful Southern style raised cottage with wraparound porches. Slow life down as you rock a way the day on either the front or the back porch. Those porches do more than just provide a wonderful place to leisure, they also protect almost all of the exterior doors and windows of this super energy saving home. This design is loaded with features designed to lower the utility cost by half but without adding significant cost. Among the many energy saving features are 2x6 exterior walls and a modified roof design that allows for a full 12” thick layer of attic insulation to extend to the outer perimeter of the house. The master suite is conveniently located just steps away from the kitchen and utility area and it has a built-in coffee bar, great for preparing that first cup of coffee. The master bath features include his and her vanities, a special appliance garage for those hair dryers and other devices, shower, spa tub, private toilet and a huge walk-in closet. The kitchen and living area is open, bright and airy and features 12’ high coffered ceilings. The open island style kitchen is fully appointed and there is a nearby butler’s walk-thru pantry. The living room has a 9’ sliding glass door unit that allows you to open up the living room to the outside. In the winter, light up the fireplace and enjoy cozy evenings by the fire. Grab a book from the library that flanks each side of the fireplace and you are set for a quiet evening at home. The two secondary bedrooms have walk-in closets and share a Jack and Jill bath. A hall bath is accessible from both the house and the rear porch and it has a lot of storage that is ideal for storing outdoor accessories. The graceful exterior is inviting and presents a look of down home comfort that will make the owner proud to come home to.

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.

Can I trust Houseplans?

Founded in 2004, Houseplans works with hundreds of architects and designers to offer their plans at a fraction of the price of custom design. Houseplans has an "Excellent" rating on TrustPilot.
