Coastal Traditional Low Country House Plan with Double Porches & Classic Southern Architecture
Explore this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath Coastal Traditional home plan with 3,850 heated sq. ft., stacked covered porches, and dual garages—includes CAD blueprints and unlimited build rights.
This Coastal Traditional & Low Country house plan captures the timeless elegance of Southern seaside architecture. Designed with a symmetrical façade, expansive double stacked porches, and classic horizontal lap siding, this home offers refined coastal living with enduring curb appeal. Perfect for coastal communities, marshfront lots, or Southern neighborhoods, the design blends beauty, functionality, and architectural balance.
Architectural Style: Coastal Traditional with Low Country Influence
Rooted in historic Southern coastal design, this home reflects the hallmarks of Low Country architecture—wide porches for shade, elevated visual presence, and graceful proportions. The clean symmetry, evenly spaced windows, and understated detailing give it a strong Coastal Traditional identity.
- Symmetrical front elevation with centered stair and balanced window placement
- Double stacked covered porches spanning the width of the home
- Classic horizontal lap siding in a light coastal palette
- Shutter-accented windows enhancing traditional character
- Dual garage bays seamlessly integrated into the façade
These elements combine to create a home that feels both welcoming and architecturally distinguished. According to architectural analysis from ArchDaily’s guide to coastal homes, wide porches and symmetrical façades are defining features of enduring coastal design—both of which are beautifully represented in this plan.
Exterior Materials & Construction Details
The exterior showcases horizontal lap siding, a durable and timeless material ideal for humid coastal climates. Lap siding provides:
- Clean horizontal shadow lines
- Excellent weather resistance
- Low maintenance when installed in fiber cement or engineered siding
- A classic coastal aesthetic suitable for beach or Southern neighborhoods
The roofline features a gentle hip form that reinforces symmetry and enhances wind resistance—an important consideration for coastal environments. White railings and porch columns provide crisp contrast against the siding, creating a bright, refined exterior appearance.
Heated & Unheated Living Areas
- Heated Living Area: 3,850 square feet
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 4 full baths + 1 half bath
- Garage: Dual front-entry garages
- Outdoor Living: Full-width stacked covered porches
The generous square footage allows for expansive entertaining areas, private bedroom retreats, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow—perfect for coastal entertaining and year-round living.
Main Living Level Highlights
The primary living level is designed around openness and connection. Coastal homes thrive on natural light and airflow, and this plan supports both.
- Open-concept great room with clear sightlines
- Large kitchen with island ideal for gatherings
- Dining area positioned for porch access
- Powder room for guests
- Direct access to covered porch for outdoor entertaining
The wide covered porch acts as an extension of the living space, encouraging outdoor relaxation while providing protection from sun and rain.
Upper-Level Private Retreats
Upstairs, the home provides privacy and comfort for residents and guests alike.
- Spacious primary suite with private bath
- Multiple secondary bedrooms with dedicated bathrooms
- Upper covered porch access for elevated outdoor views
- Generous closet storage
The stacked porch design ensures both levels enjoy outdoor living space—an essential characteristic of Low Country architecture.
