Pigeon Forge House Plan by C3 Studio!

Pigeon Forge House Plan by C3 Studio

Sharp house plan, isn’t it (and it’s so much larger than it looks!) – This plan has a main floor and basement living (so much living to be done in this basement, wow!) – Personally, I could do with the main floor (for the two of us) and be beyond thrilled. However, if you have a larger family, this could be a dream come true!

Bermuda Bluff (16366) House Plan | Allison Ramsey Architects

Bermuda Bluff by Allison Ramsey Architect

House Plan Thursday… and another great Allison Ramsey plan is unveiled! Wouldn’t this be a sweet cottage set well, just about anywhere? This is the front view. I love porches, I think they make a house a home. Porches are a nice gathering place where you can spend time enjoying the great outdoors. #forestbathing This plan has a screened and unscreened porch. So perfect, I would use both!

Old Oyster House Plan by Allison Ramsey Architects!

Old Oyster Retreat 15363 by Allison Ramsey Architects

Drop dead gorgeous, don’t you think? When I look at this house, it feels as if I’m in an older, very grand neighborhood. You know the kind with the towering oaks, wild palms and HISTORY. It’s hard to believe this plan wasn’t built long, long ago! There is a special grandness to this plan. I love the stunning porches, etc. – they are what dreams are made of.

Cottage Revival House Plan by David Ranglack for Southern Living!

Cottage Revival House Plan (SL-1946) by David Ranglack for Southern Living

Now, this is a different sort of front entry. The front door isn’t at the front, but like some of the older homes in downtown Charleston, SC you’ll see the entry, then you walk along the side porch to the entry door. I love how this doorway is framed with shutters which lets you know to “walk this way” to the entrance while looking so charming and like it’s been in existence for a very long time. Beautiful!

The Lakedale House Plan by C3 Studio!

The Lakedale House Plan by C3 Studio

Gorgeous, right? I love the covered porch on the front. This plan has spectacular windows which can make a house. The doors suit this house perfectly (as does the gorgeous oversized light fixture in front of the door!) – This plan an optional basement so there are even more possibilities! Let’s talk about the layout of this plan…

The Longleaf Cottage House Plan by Lake and Land Studio!

Longleaf Cottage by Lake & Land Studio

Can you imagine this gorgeous home (especially if you were situated on the water or any other heavenly place with a view!) – This house packs so much punch for its square footage. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t small (matter of fact, to us, it’s large, we live in a smaller older home). I love the lines of this house, the porches, windows, etc. How dreamy to have a fireplace (indoor/outdoor) outside! To me, that would be the ultimate.

The Griffin House Plan by Allison Ramsey Architects!

There is something so special about the ability for a plan to fit in its surroundings and blend harmoniously. This plan is a striking example! I live in an older neighborhood, and we are working with the city to maintain as much character as is possible while still making this a friendly place to live. I have nothing against modern plans, in fact I love them, but for infill in a neighborhood with older architecture I think it’s so important to blend (not look exactly the same, there is a difference). It’s nice when you can find a house plan that check that important box…

The Easton Terrace House Plan by Our Town Plans for Southern Living!

Easton Terrace House Plan by Our Town Plans for Southern Living

Charm, and oodles of it. This plan is a delight. It’s not always easy to find a house plan that will fit seamlessly into an established neighborhood where the hope is to have the character flow and not stand out. This house plan looks like it could have been built long ago. This porch, it’s a dream!

TNH SC 17D House Plan by Moser Design Group!

Moser Design Group. Fabulous house plans. Classic design that looks gorgeous most anywhere it’s built. I live in an older neighborhood and what’s built around us matters. Infill, size, mass, scale – it makes a difference. It’s what keeps your neighborhood’s character that in this day and time is extremely hard to do. Depending upon the neighborhood, these homes look like they would blend well and fit in nicely. Good design always matters.

Springhill Cottage by Lake and Land Studio!

Springhill Cottage by Lake and Land Studio

This porch! The Springhill Cottage is a sweet plan full of character. It’s the porch that I fell in love with upon first glance. I think Springhill has such curb appeal, from the cuts in the roof, to the windows and the door/entrance – and of course the porch, which gives you as much privacy as you need, depending upon your landscaping.

The Cordage Cottage (16404-3) by Allison Ramsey Architects!

The Cordage Cottage (16404-3) by Allison Ramsey Architects (Back View)

Many people are starting to downsize and build smaller homes. I read about the latest trend (and the trend to do away with excessive hallways to maximize space). I think a lot of people think they’re sacrificing so much by not having a large home. This plan shows that you can have your cake and eat it too! Small, yes. Livable, absolutely!

Lark Cottage House Plan by C3 Studio!

Lark Cottage by C3 Studio

House plans. I love them and I’m finally getting around to featuring another one. I think this plan has so much curb appeal. I love the peak and the Tudor influence. The porch is so different, so inviting! I love the lowness of it, no spindles/railings it’s just lovely! Read on, because the interior is just as fabulous as the exterior!

The Walterboro Avenue House Plan by Our Town Plans for Southern Living.

A beautiful home isn’t it? We see many homes similar to this in Charleston, SC. Beautiful. With large porches to accommodate a variety of seating configurations so time on the porch is well spent and comfortable. Oh, so comfortable! Grab an iced tea and swing on the porch, read a book, take a nap – life is good! This is a great plan to fit in many established neighborhoods and blend in nicely.

Isn’t this house a beauty? I love the gorgeous front porch across the front and the to die for screened porches on the sides. How heavenly! When you want to converse with passers by, you can situate yourself on the front porch, when you want to tuck away and read a good book and can hunker down on the screened porch, free of bugs – or hey, if you just want to take a nap while listening to the birds chirp!
