This is the 59 Greenville Lane house plan by Our Town Plans. It’s a beauty isn’t it? This home is 3,466 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms (with an optional attic space that adds 1,098′ along with a bedroom, bathroom, bonus room, loft, mechanical room and storage!)
This home has wonderful deep porches, working shutters and so much charm – I love that steep roof!
What a fabulous plan! An open Living/Dining/Kitchen, along with a wonderful Laundry space and on the other side of the staircase a Study. Can you imagine how much time you would spend there? I can! Note the ceilings on the main floor are 12′. Pretty darn impressive! (Upstairs ceilings measure 11’3″ and the optional attic space is 9’6″) – Grand!
Just look at all these porches! Both screened and unscreened. There is a lot of time to be spent on these dreamy porches!

A great upstairs configuration with a large master bedroom, a smaller bedroom, and then across the hall another large bedroom. Personally, I would use the master bedroom and make the smaller bedroom beside it a reading room. (Note that the “smaller” bedroom is still a good size!). There is also a nice office space.
There is also an optional attic configuration and it’s pretty incredible! Click HERE to see more…. Wow, the bonus space adds a bedroom, bathroom, bonus area and loft!

This is the Kemper Residence house plan by Lake and Land Studio. They have such amazing plans – and if you need something tweaked, they are there to work with you! This plan has so much appeal – great porch (front and back!) and just great looking! Click HERE for more info! There is also a stunning boathouse (pictured above on the right) – a future feature!
The main floor is pretty fabulous. It has an open great room/kitchen area with a fireplace, and the master bedroom is down. There is another bedroom that could be used as an office or as a guest room, maybe for someone who prefers not to use the stairs… A vaulted ceiling in the great room makes it even greater, doesn’t it?
This plan is 2,240 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (as well as that wonderful loft space!)
Upstairs is another bedroom, bathroom and a loft area that’s almost 17′ x 21′ – if you wanted to use this as a bunk room it seems like you could fit a gaggle of kids up there, don’t you think? The rest of this space is open to the great room/kitchen. There is some dedicated attic space, which is nice for storage!

This is the Hazelhurst Residence house plan by Lake and Land Studio. This plan measures 1,380 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms – what a sharp design!
The great room area is vaulted with windows installed up high – this lets wonderful light pour into the room – and what’s better than natural light? This home also has two porches, one on the front and a screened porch located off of the great room. So on those wonderful evenings you can open your doors and let the fresh air in – you can also sit outside on your screened porch without mosquitoes fluttering in your ear!
This plan gives everyone their own space which is really nice. There is a bedroom on each end of the house with bathrooms and laundry in the middle. The center of the home is kitchen and living space – nice, right??!!
Click HERE to order this plan – it couldn’t be easier! AND, if you would like some changes to be made to the current design, they’re more than willing to work with you to make your new home your dream home…

Front ViewTideland Haven house plan – this is a Southern Living plan. One of the most popular on this website. This is a plan available via Our Town Plans – there are now two versions as well as a garage plan that accompanies it nicely. If you have loved this plan and don’t have a lot picked out and aren’t truly fond of building, there is a house for sale in the Charleston, SC area and it’s a beauty. This home is situated on a tidal creek where you will have spectacular views! Great porches (and one with a fireplace!!) makes it quite a dream!
Pretty spectacular, isn’t it? I love this view from outside the kitchen looking through to the dining room on the opposite side with views of that stunning tidal creek. Take note of that beautiful cypress ceiling! And the way the light pours in those windows at the top – How nice!
Back View – Where you will likely live!This view is of the back of this home – what a fabulous back porch with view of side porch on the left. That’s where the amazing fireplace is! Also a screened porch off the master (on right). Perfection!
Some details on this home: This one story plan is approximately 2,418 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. There is also an office/sitting room space that could easily become another bedroom in my eyes… As you will see in the numerous photos this home boasts fabulous porches – front, side and back. This home is situated on .87 acres along a tidal creek with a dock – (can you imagine sitting on your new porch with THAT view?!!). This home has heart pine floors and shiplap cypress ceiling. There are two fireplaces (inside and out) – it’s a beauty for sure! The current owners who built the house love to cook, so there is an amazing kitchen.
Update: this house has sold. If you’re thinking of building the Tideland Haven house plan by Southern Living, check out their AMAZING Facebook page full of great info, ideas and images!

This is the Ralston Creek house plan by Flatfish Island Designs. This plan is 1,590 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Sharp and charming – what a combination! Love this front porch, and that window in the dormer – it melts my heart!
A great main floor plan with an open kitchen, living, dining space – along with three sets of French doors bringing the outdoors in and giving you a lot of natural light! The master bedroom is downstairs with two sets of closets, a very nice and appreciated amenity… one can never have too many closets. Sweet front porch as well – which is part of the charm of this home.
Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, a nice private space!
Flatfish Island Designs has wonderful plans – feel free to take a peek at them!

77 Annapolis Court by Our Town Plans – pretty fabulous, isn’t it? This plan is 2,303 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms – I love the lines of this house – it’s overflowing with character – like a grand home built back in the day – but built today with modern conveniences, you just can’t beat that!
What a nice porch on the front of the house – also notice the entrance to the sunroom to the left of the porch, as well as another porch on the second floor!
This plan offers an open kitchen, living, dining space as well as a wonderful sunroom complete with an entrance to the outdoors – This plan has a wonderful carport, which is so convenient, you can drive up with your groceries, go in the side door by the sunroom and be at your kitchen in a moment to unpack!
I like that there is a bedroom on the main level. While it’s not the master, it is a nice size and could easily be used as a master. I like to have a bedroom down – it’s piece of mind in case there are unexpected broken bones, illness, etc. Also notice that wonderful back porch and the half bath tucked beneath the stairs – a smart use of space.
The upstairs includes a master bedroom, closet and bathroom. The laundry is located right outside of the master suite. There is an additional bedroom with it’s own bathroom and generous closet. And oh la la, to have a sleeping porch on those nights that are heavenly to be outside! What a treasure!

This is the The Meridian Residence House Plan by Lake + Land Studio. This plan is 1,894 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. This is a gorgeous home designed to be built like they used to build them. Quality and class. I think this plan has so much curb appeal. Especially since it DOES have a garage, you just drive behind the house to access it. So nice! Another bonus… those dormers – precious windows add so much character!
The first floor plan starts with an large front porch, a place that expands the foot print of the house in terms of usability. (Can you imagine the time that can be spent on that wonderful porch?) The porch leads into the main area living/dining/kitchen area – note the side porch with an entrance to the master bedroom – wow! There is a nice size master suite, plentiful closets – I’m not sure if this is a viable option, but for us, we aren’t tub people, so I would see if there would be a way to move the laundry into the master bath and turn the existing laundry into a pantry. This is a sweet plan, with great storage and livable options…
Upstairs only adds to the options… that bedroom on the front with the three dormer windows – LOVE IT! It could also make a good studio, that still leaves you with a guest room! I think it’s great that Lake + Land thought of using attic space for storage, we all need that… well, most of us!

This is the New Wyntuck house plan (572) by architect John Tee. This gorgeous home has so much visual appeal with its stacked stone and cedar shingle siding! As always, there are modifications that can be made to this plan to better suit your needs if you desire. This plan is 2,638 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
I do like how the garage on the left doesn’t look like a garage from the front. You enter from the side, very nice.
Areas of this plan are open where others are not. Which comes in handy, especially if you have small children or pets that you need to contain at times. There is a bedroom/study on the front of the house that I would use as a library – a place to get away where it’s quiet. However, if you need another bedroom… Ta-da! Also notice the stairway, it’s an option – it can go down to a basement or upstairs to a loft/second floor. Without the stairway this could be configured into a very cool area. So many options!

This is the Wiggins Street Cottage house plan (113102) by Allison Ramsey Architects. This plan is 2,258 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. It’s a classic beauty, isn’t it? So much curb appeal! Love the front porch, dormers, roof line, etc. but just wait until you see the layout of this plan!
The main floor has a generous great room, as well as a kitchen, sun room, powder room and master suite. So many possibilities regarding layout! That’s what’s so nice!
The upstairs has two more bedrooms, a sitting room, bathroom, laundry room and large finished bonus room. Think of what you could do with that space! Check out their website for more plans!
