This is the 37 Rose Hill Court house plan by Our Town Plans, and IS IT EVER CHARMING!!! Be sure to click on the link to see the real life images (inside and out!) – I’m telling you I could move right in and be so happy! The interior images help so much! The exterior of this home is so attractive. It fits right in and looks like it could have been built decades ago. I love the porch, which I would definitely screen!

This compact plan is 775 square feet with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. It’s brilliant to use pocket doors for the bedroom, which is right off the sitting room. The kitchen  and sitting room are open which is so nice. There is great storage and a nice size bathroom! What’s not to love about this plan?

This is the TNH-SC-44A house plan by Moser Design Group. This plan also has 1,916 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms – it also has a wonderful front porch, which is nice to hang out by yourself, or with some company. It also boasts a dreamy porch off of the master suite as well as a screened porch! I love to have options, and when those darn mosquitoes are out and the weather is nice, having a screened porch is perfect!!

I love the layout, it gives everyone their own space, which is so nice. There are ample areas for gathering. This plan has a nice size living area, open to the dining and kitchen. The location of the utility room, near the master suite is so convenient. What a great plan! I could live in this plan very easily!

The second floor is fabulous too! Two more bedrooms and a bathroom – it’s nice to have a gallery wall, a great spot to sit and read? I look through a lot of plans to find one that I would like to live in. This fits the criteria perfectly!

This is the Capeside Cottage SL374 by Spitzmiller and Norris, offered by Southern Living House Plans.  This plan is 1,735 square feet (not including the optional 525 square foot guest cottage as pictured above). The guest cottage is adorable! What a bonus to have a private guest room! This plan also has a wonderful porch, sharp lines, and oodles of character!

The main floor is open with a family room, kitchen, dining room – I would see if there is any way to fit a stackable washer/dryer in the master bath to free up the laundry area for a pantry. However, a laundry area sure would be nice, especially with that sink! Read more about these features on Southern Living’s website!

The upstairs has a wonderful loft area, a bedroom and bathroom. Perfect!

Introducing the Bogue Chitto Cottage by Lake and Land Studio. This plan is only 789 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. If you add the wonderful front porch it bumps the living space (underneath the roof) to 1,155!

The porch on this house adds so much to the living space. At 26’9″ x 12’8″ makes the perfect spot to entertain, or to spend time when it’s beautiful outside! Can you imagine?

Last November, when our dog tore his CCL (like an ACL in a human) and had surgery, we were confined to our small kitchen/living area for months. Do you know what we learned? We can live in a small space. Maybe not tiny-house small, but where we actually LIVE is a fairly small area. This plan is perfect for a single person or a couple that doesn’t need so much extra space. Lake and Land Studio has a fabulous group of residential designers that can take a plan and tweak it to fit your needs. They think outside the box and their plans, well, they show it!

The people at Lake + Land are brilliant and creative, so if you’re thinking about a house plan, you may want to check them out!

The 21 Bayou La Batre Way House Plan by Our Town Plans is a 2,642 square foot plan with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. This plan offers a guest suite above the garage as well as a bunk room! I love how they connected the garage to the house with a screen porch, very nice! In addition to all of this wonderfulness, there is a fabulous front porch! So much room for entertaining or just plain living the good life!

Be sure to check out the details of this plan, wow!

Such a simple but knock-out floorpan! It has everything you need! It begins with a wonderful porch, then a great living room, kitchen/dining, master bedroom, bathroom, closet, powder room. I think it’s a wonderful use of space to connect the house and garage/guest suite with a screen porch, which adds fresh air to the dining room, always a treat!

The upstairs has two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and closet, as well as a bunk room – what fun is that?!! Above the garage sits a nice guest suite, which is always handy and quite nice for visitors! Room for a kitchenette (coffee pot and small fridge maybe), and their own bathroom. This house has beautiful lines, be sure to check out Our House Plans website to see real images for this house.

This is perfect for families who need an additional living space, or it could work well as a library, etc. especially with a nice cozy fireplace!

The upstairs has two nice size bedrooms with closets, a small loft area, which is all you need and a bathroom. Perfect layout!

The Chestnut (NC0003) by Allison Ramsey Architect is quite the fabulous plan! This plan is in their Blue Ridge Inspirations I plan book. I think this timeless design will work well in so many locations! This plan is 1,979 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

The Chestnut has such a wonderful porch, which adds living space outside, a dream! You enter into the living room, then onto the kitchen and dining area. Did you notice those wonderful French doors that lead to the deck between the kitchen and bedroom? Master bedroom/bathroom towards the back of the house with a powder room situated off to the side. Perfect!

Two bedrooms, a loft and a bathroom upstairs. A loft could be such a cozy spot as an alternative to the living room. It’s so wonderful to have small spaces to get away.

This is the 23 Covington Court house plan by Our Town Plans. This plan is 1,986 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. There is an ample front porch, a screened back porch and a private balcony off of the upstairs bedroom and a screened porch off the upstairs master bedroom!

This is one sharp house, I love the metal roof as well as the carport, it’s done so nicely, with an entrance into the breakfast room.

Be sure to check Our Town Plans website for real images – they’re amazing!

What do you notice? Porches, porches, porches! Love, love, love! I cannot imagine how wonderful this plan would be during beautiful weather, when you can open windows/doors! How nice to fall asleep to a nice breeze! Do you see the fireplace on the porch? Another treasure! The main floor of this plan has a living/dining space, kitchen, breakfast area, powder room and bedroom with a separate bathroom. I like that there is a bedroom on the first floor!

The upstairs has a small porch off the bedroom and a screened porch off of the master bathroom – what a treat! This plan seems to have so much more useful room than some of the more traditional plans.

55 Shenandoah Court by Our Town Plans

55 Shenandoah Court by Our Town Plans – Striking, isn’t it? I love the exterior just as they have it, white, with a metal roof and black trim on the windows. Beautiful! Click HERE to see other elevations, details, etc!

This plan is 3,222 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Add to the conditioned space the wonderful porches and you have the perfect home for entertaining!

55 Shenandoah Court by Our Town Plans

Porches are so important to me. I grew up with a wonderful porch, and a lot of time was spent on it. It adds to your square footage in the best of ways. The front porch on this plan is plentiful, but the back porch would be my favorite! The back porch is screened and has entry via French doors and also has a fireplace. You would have to pry me off of that porch during nice weather!

The configuration of this plan is wonderful, with an open Kitchen, Dining, Living space. Notice the Office Nook off of the Kitchen. Nice addition… and if I didn’t use it as an Office, I think I would make it a Pantry! Woohoo, how I love a pantry! Look at that wonderful closet space in the Master! Whew! It’s so smart!

55 Shenandoah Court by Our Town Plans

The upstairs is fabulous as well, with 2 Bedrooms, a Bunk Room, a Loft area and two Bathrooms there is a lot you can fit in this upstairs and still have privacy and a place to hang out.

Check out images of a home built using this plan, it’s beautiful!

May Isle Cottage by John Tee

This is the May Isle Cottage by John Tee – this plan is 2,100 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Isn’t this a sweet plan? I love the cuts in the roof – beautiful!

May Isle Cottage by John Tee

I like the layout of the first floor. It’s nice when you’re in the Living Room to have a bit of privacy from people who come knocking at the door (well, other than friends or neighbors!) – having the stairway in the front does help with that. This plan has a Master Bedroom downstairs and has a powder room near the Foyer. The Living, Kitchen and Dining are open which is fabulous – I see something else I love… a PANTRY, with a washer and dryer! Tuck it out of the way! Add to this an Outdoor room and you have one heck of a house!

May Isle Cottage by John Tee

Upstairs there are two Bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, as well as a Loft space. The Loft is a great space that can be used for so many things!

Lake + Land Studio. I love this group of residential designers. They’re young with brilliant ideas. Their plans are amazing. I always look forward to see what’s next!

This is the Madison Residence. This plan is 2,989 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. It’s  a roomy plan that offers many wonderful porches! If you add the outdoor living spaces the total square footage of this home is about 4,305! There is plenty of entertaining to be done inside and outside of this wonderful home, especially with the double fireplace! This house looks gorgeous from all sides!

Madison Residence by Lake and Land Studio

The downstairs of this plan is amazing all by itself! It’s nice how the Master Bedroom/Bathroom is separated by the other Bedroom by Laundry room, I also adore the little side porch off of the Laundry area! Perfect if you’re working in the yard and don’t want to track dirt throughout the house!

The open Living, Dining, Kitchen is so nice, especially with the French doors off of the Dining and Living areas. The fireplace is double sided. Can you imagine using it on the porch? Is that heavenly or what?

Madison Residence by Lake and Land Studio

Vaulted ceilings in the Living area is spectacular! The second floor has two Bedrooms and share a Bathroom. Perfect! Another plus is the Sitting Area – it’s always nice to have a place to escape to! This plan offers a lot of options! Click HERE to see the plan package with more details on the Madison Residence!
