Charleston House Plan – Elegant 3-Story Classical Southern Design
A timeless Southern masterpiece blending Charleston charm with Colonial grace—this 3-story house plan offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and iconic double porches with stone and siding detailing.
This Charleston-style house plan captures the spirit of Southern architecture with a dignified raised foundation, stacked porches, and perfectly balanced proportions. Designed for both traditional neighborhoods and narrow city lots, it delivers sophistication, functionality, and historic authenticity in every element.
Architectural Overview
The home’s symmetrical façade features two levels of covered porches supported by classic columns, a stone base housing dual garages, and refined horizontal siding above. Large, evenly spaced windows and French doors invite natural light throughout, while black trim details add a striking modern contrast to the traditional exterior.
Floor Plan Highlights
- Main Level: The raised entry opens into a spacious foyer that flows into an open-concept living room and formal dining area. A large kitchen with a central island overlooks the backyard, with access to the covered rear porch.
- Second Level: A private primary suite with access to the upper porch, two secondary bedrooms, and a shared full bath make this floor ideal for families.
- Basement/Garage Level: Dual front-entry garages with stone arches provide both practicality and architectural drama.
Interior Design & Lifestyle
The design emphasizes traditional Southern living—open yet formal, relaxed yet refined. Crown moldings, transom windows, and paneled wainscoting add charm, while the open stair hall enhances the sense of space. Optional elevator integration supports long-term accessibility and comfort for multi-generational living.
