20-1926 HOUSE PLAN – Coastal Traditional House Plan – 4-Bed, 3-Bath, 2,800 SF

Coastal Traditional Home Plan with Double Porches & Timeless Southern Character

A refined 2,800 sq. ft. Low Country–inspired home blending Coastal Traditional elegance with everyday livability.

This Coastal Traditional house plan draws inspiration from classic Low Country and Charleston architecture, offering a balanced blend of symmetry, proportion, and relaxed coastal charm. Designed to feel equally at home in Southern neighborhoods, coastal communities, or upscale suburban settings, this two-story residence emphasizes outdoor living, natural light, and enduring curb appeal.

The elevation is defined by its signature double stacked front porches, a hallmark of Southern coastal design that creates both visual depth and functional outdoor space. Crisp trim lines, horizontal lap siding, and a steeply pitched roof contribute to a timeless architectural presence that feels established rather than trendy.

Exterior Architecture & Materials

The exterior showcases horizontal lap siding with clean white trim, a classic material palette that reinforces the home’s Coastal Traditional identity. The raised porch columns, simple rail detailing, and balanced window placement echo Charleston-era design principles while remaining adaptable to modern construction methods.

• Full-width covered front porch on the main level
• Upper-level porch accessed from the primary suite
• Durable lap siding ideal for coastal and humid climates
• Symmetrical façade with strong vertical proportions

Main-Level Living Experience

The main floor is organized around an open-concept living core, allowing the kitchen, dining area, and family room to flow naturally together. This arrangement supports both daily family life and larger gatherings while maintaining defined zones through architectural cues rather than walls.

• Spacious family room with clear sightlines to kitchen and dining
• Kitchen designed for island seating and efficient workflow
• Dining area positioned to receive ample natural light
• Direct porch access encourages indoor–outdoor living

Bedrooms & Private Spaces

The upper level is anchored by a primary suite retreat that opens directly onto the second-story porch—an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The remaining bedrooms are thoughtfully sized to accommodate family members, guests, or flexible uses such as a home office.

• Primary suite with private porch access
• Well-separated secondary bedrooms for privacy
• Three full bathrooms designed for comfort and efficiency

Low Country Design Philosophy

Low Country architecture evolved in response to climate, lifestyle, and social living—principles that are fully embraced in this design. Elevated porches promote airflow, while generous overhangs provide shade and protection. The home’s form encourages connection to the outdoors without sacrificing interior comfort.
