12-2835 HOUSE PLAN – Colonial House Plan – 5-Bed, 5-Bath, 7000 SF

Elegant Colonial & Classical Southern House Plan with 5 Bedrooms

A timeless blend of Colonial symmetry, Southern refinement, and Georgian proportions—designed for families who value tradition, space, and architectural beauty.

This premium home plan draws directly from the enduring traditions of Colonial and Classical Southern architecture, featuring perfect symmetry, a strong central entry, multi-pane windows, a balanced roofline, and refined detailing across the exterior and interior. With over 7,000 heated square feet, this design combines historical character with modern expectations for luxury living.

Exterior Design & Materials

The exterior showcases classic horizontal lap siding, traditional shutters, refined trim work, and an elegant central balcony—hallmarks of both Colonial and Georgian influence. The symmetrical façade communicates a sense of order and quiet sophistication. Large windows punctuate the elevation, allowing natural light to flood the interior while enhancing curb appeal.

A welcoming columned front porch reinforces the Southern influence, while the hipped-and-gabled roof profile completes the stately presentation. Designed for homeowners who appreciate heritage architecture, this home delivers the kind of presence rarely found in contemporary construction.

Interior Flow & Lifestyle Experience

Stepping inside, the foyer is arranged around a grand central hall—true to Colonial planning traditions. High ceilings, abundant natural light, and refined trim moldings give the home its graceful interior character. The floor plan is designed to offer both large entertaining zones and intimate private retreats, making it ideal for multi-generational living or those who frequently host and entertain.

The formal living and dining rooms sit at the front of the home, creating dramatic but welcoming first impressions. Toward the back, the rooms open into a more relaxed environment: a spacious family room anchored by a fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with oversized island, and a breakfast room designed for everyday gathering.

Kitchen & Supporting Spaces

• Expansive kitchen with central island and cook-friendly layout
• Walk-in pantry for optimized storage
• Optional butler’s pantry for serving and organization
• Large mudroom connecting the garage to the main hall

The kitchen area transitions seamlessly into the living room, making the space ideal for families that enjoy open-concept living without sacrificing the historical feel.

Owner’s Suite

The first-floor Owner’s Suite is designed as a private retreat featuring:

• Generous bedroom area with large windows
• Luxury bathroom with dual vanities and soaking tub
• Oversized walk-in closet
• Optional private access to the outdoor terrace

This suite provides comfort and convenience while preserving excellent separation from the upstairs bedrooms.

Additional Bedrooms & Upper Level Layout

The upper level offers four additional large bedrooms—each with ample closet space and access to well-designed bathrooms. Traditional layouts inspired by historic Colonial homes blend seamlessly with contemporary expectations for space and storage.

A hallway overlooking the main foyer creates a grand sense of scale, while access to an upper balcony introduces outdoor living to the second level.

Bonus Rooms & Flex Spaces

• Recreation room for entertainment, games, or home theater
• Dedicated home office or study for work-from-home needs
• Optional craft room, gym, or secondary lounge

The highly adaptable upper level allows the home to evolve with your family’s changing needs.

Garage, Storage & Utility Areas

The home includes a large multi-bay garage designed to handle full-size vehicles, recreational gear, and long-term storage. Access to the home is efficiently configured, connecting directly to both the mudroom and service areas.

• Oversized garage with additional depth and width
• Attic storage above the garage or upper hall
• Multiple linen closets and utility closets throughout

Outdoor Living & Southern Charm

The Classical Southern influence is especially visible in the home’s outdoor spaces. Wide lawns, a clean façade, and carefully balanced landscaping combine to create a serene and welcoming presentation.

• Columned front porch ideal for seasonal decor or seating
• Rear terrace perfect for dining, lounging, or outdoor festivities
• Second-floor balcony with scenic views

Architectural Roots & Authenticity

This design thoughtfully integrates three complementary traditions: the symmetry of Colonial architecture, the porch culture of the South, and the refined detailing of Georgian forms. The result is a home that feels both historically grounded and fully modern. For further reading on these architectural roots, visit ArchDaily.
