Southern Charmer with Bonus Room, Porches, and Grand Living Space

Southern Charmer with Bonus Room, Porches, and Grand Living Space is a traditional residence providing 2,095 sq ft of main-level heated living area and a substantial 78-foot, 9-inch wide footprint. This design prioritizes outdoor connectivity through a 477 sq ft total porch area, split between a 242 sq ft covered front porch and a 235 sq ft rear porch, facilitating year-round exterior utility.

The interior layout centers on an open-concept great room with vaulted vertical volume, anchored by a fireplace and direct sightlines to the rear porch. The kitchen configuration includes a central island and a dedicated walk-in pantry, supporting efficient meal preparation. A split-bedroom layout separates the primary suite from two secondary bedrooms, ensuring privacy within the primary living level. A dedicated home office and mud room are integrated to support distinct work-from-home and transition zones.

The upper level features a 457 sq ft bonus room, providing flexible floor area for a guest suite or media center. Below the main level, a 1,934 sq ft unfinished basement offers significant storage or potential for future expansion. The structure utilizes 2x4 exterior wall framing and a combination of 10:12 and 12:12 roof pitches, resulting in a maximum building height of 26 feet, 6 inches.

A side-entry 2-car garage provides 556 sq ft of vehicle storage while maintaining an unobstructed front elevation. The 9-foot ceiling heights on the main floor enhance the scale of the common areas, while the 53-foot depth allows this home to fit effectively on moderate suburban or rural lots. This configuration emphasizes long-term adaptability through its multi-level zoning and expansive lower-level foundation.
