Traditional Plan 048-00004

Glorious outdoor space highlighted with a luxurious exterior façade one might expect to see in New Orleans or other familiar southern cities, this home features a blend of French and American architecture. Hidden among great oaks, weeping willows or stately magnolia trees, the home’s exterior is a jewel reminiscent of history and romance where enjoying a tall glass of lemonade or iced tea will be an enjoyable pastime on the covered porch. There are approximately 848 square feet of usable living space and the 40’ width and 34’ depth proportions lend it to being built on a small and/or narrow lot. This home would be outstanding as a stand alone home or as a carriage house for in-laws or other family members. A cupola and window gable sit atop the cantilevered roof overhang providing a visually pleasing balance to the widely proportioned wraparound front covered porch. Substantial columned beams, a walk up front entrance and a plethora of floor to ceiling windows also lend architectural period detailing to the home. One bedroom, one bath and an open layout in the main living and dining rooms along with a fully functional kitchen are features of the home that preserve a sense of comfort and coziness.
Entrance into the home off the porch reveals an open living and dining concept, measuring 24’x14’, which allows for good flow and a space to maximize furniture placement. This sun drenched space is surrounded by a multitude of window views and there is built-in cabinetry at the rear of the room. The U-shaped kitchen is highlighted with plenty of counter and cabinet space and a plethora of modern amenities. Folding doors lead to the master retreat where double walk-in closets, one of which houses the laundry facilities, flanks the spacious master suite nicely. The master en suite bath features a large vanity, linen closet and corner shower. A gorgeous exterior façade and a spacious and comfortable floor plan highlight this traditional Southern house plan.
