Oak Island Retreat House Plan by Allison Ramsey Architects!

I love scrolling through the house plans on Allison Ramsey’s website. (Allison Ramsey is a company name and not a person, in case you’re wondering who Allison Ramsey is, hehe). If you visit Beaufort, SC (as well as just about anywhere in the south) you will see so many Allison Ramsey homes. You may not KNOW they’re one of theirs because their homes seem to blend so well with the existing architecture which is classic and stunning.

Houseplan: The Woodbine- 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms – Allison Ramsey Architects!

Woodbine FRONT C0051 ara_lgPrecious, isn’t it? I would like to introduce the “Woodbine” house plan by Allison Ramsey Architects. Sure, Allison Ramsey creates drop dead gorgeous large house plans, but did you realize they do the same for small plans? Sometimes small is all you need, and whoa, this is one great plan! This house is approximately 735 square feet of living space with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms!

This is a great plan if you’re just starting out and also if you’re downsizing or retiring and don’t want all that extra wasted space. It’s nice that the Living, Kitchen and Dining are all nice and open. This plan gives you options. You can have your master up or down, which ever you prefer. Knowing me, I would move it back and forth, hey, why not!? We already move our rooms around…  A dining room one day, a living room the next. While doing that we move around art and whoa, it’s like walking into new living spaces each time. So much fun (for me)… Since Fred is the one patching and nailing, maybe not as much for him until that part is over. Ha ha… We love our art, perhaps you’ve heard me mention that? hmmm….

A bedroom and bathroom upstairs… I would even see if it’s feasible to not have it open to downstairs and make that either one big room for storage. OR a room that has the treadmill, and maybe some storage closets. That would be nice wouldn’t it? Keep it clean lined, as they say, with built in cupboards and maybe a floating sleeper sofa just in case you need an extra bed for someone!

Let me know what you think!

House Plan: The Chechessee River Cottage!

Sweet cottage plan, isn’t it? This house plan is by Allison Ramsey Architect… one of my favorite architects! I can always find house plans that I would love to live in on their website! This cottage plan is roughly 1754 square feet with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. If I were building this house I would use shingles like in the illustration… second choice would be white with a metal roof, maybe painted a cool green?

I love the configuration of the rooms. They make sense, and that is what sets apart these homes. They flow well… It’s so nice to have the master bedroom downstairs and in the back of the house. Also nice to have the utility room nearby, so that laundry is close to the bedroom where you will be putting away a majority of it anyway! Great kitchen/dining layout. I might even make the dining room a informal area with a sofa and a table for casual eating… and use it as a library/tv area at times that you want to be tucked into the back of the house?

Great layout upstairs. Simple in design and it works! This is really nice for guests, they have the upstairs, you have your bedroom downstairs. Nice and private for them!

What a great plan this is! Fabulous front porch! This home has so much charm, doesn’t it? Like something built back when they built homes with character and detail! This plan is 2,018 square feet with 3-4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Has the charm but includes details for modern living! Nice, huh?

The great room, kitchen and dining area is all open, which is nice if you’re the one in the kitchen! A master bedroom/bathroom at the back of the house and a guest room in the front of the house… there is a nice little study tucked away, perfect for an office, or a quiet getaway for reading or writing! What else could you possibly need?
