Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Want a main-floor owner's suite for aging in place (first-floor primary suite with laundry access)
  • Love dramatic vertical space and natural light (two-story grand room with 10-foot ceilings)
  • Need flexible bonus space for a home office or media room (1,182 sq ft second floor with loft and bonus room)
  • Plan to expand later (optional 2,329 sq ft basement with 10-foot ceilings)
  • Working with a deep lot (design is 85 ft 6 in deep)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms for a large family (this plan has 3 bedrooms)
  • Want a single-story layout with no stairs (this is a two-story design)
  • Prefer a compact footprint to minimize build costs (3,512 sq ft across two stories)
  • Have a narrow lot under 50 feet (this design needs 56 ft 6 in of width)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

The Charleston house plan provides 3,512 square feet of total heated living space, defined by a steep 14:12 and 7:12 roof pitch that contributes to a 31-foot maximum building height. Spanning a footprint of 56 ft 6 in wide by 85 ft 6 in deep, this two-story structure utilizes a crawl space foundation and 2x6 wall framing to maintain structural integrity.

The main level occupies 2,330 square feet and centers on an open-concept layout anchored by a two-story grand room. This level includes a primary suite, a kitchen equipped with a walk-in pantry, a mudroom, and a designated laundry area. The 10-foot ceiling height on the first floor enhances the interior volume, while the 8-foot ceilings on the second floor maintain a compact, efficient profile for the upper level.

The 1,182-square-foot second floor houses a loft and a bonus room, offering flexible space for media or home office requirements. These areas are separated from the main living core, providing a clear distinction between social zones and private retreats. The inclusion of an optional 2,329-square-foot basement with 10-foot ceilings allows for significant future expansion or additional storage capacity.

Exterior and utility features include a 100-square-foot front porch and a 500-square-foot front-load two-car garage. The truss roof system and calculated roof slopes manage water runoff while establishing a distinct vertical profile. This design is engineered for households seeking a balance of primary-on-main convenience and multi-level utility in a traditional farmhouse aesthetic.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, first-floor primary suite, two-story grand room, walk-in pantry, mudroom, bonus room, loft, front-load 2-car garage, crawl space foundation, 2x6 wall framing.
