Southern Revival Home

This second version is only slightly different from the original – in fact, in several instances the only thing that changes is the name of the rooms. The formal dining room is now called the den; the study is now called the office; the study upstairs is now a bedroom and the porch off the upper landing is enclosed and now called a playroom.

A wide central staircase leads to the covered entry porch, which has stately columns that span the entire front of the house. As you step into the foyer (which, like the rest of the rooms on the main level, features a 10' ceiling), there's a coat closet just to your right and a pair of sliding doors on your right that open to the den. This room has a view to the front, and a pocket door that opens to a hallway and the kitchen beyond it. The hall has one door that opens to the powder room, and a pair of doors to a mechanical room.

The upper landing opens up to a central sitting area and a playroom space to the left. All three bedrooms on this level have walk–in closets and bedrooms 3 and 4 share a full bath. Bedroom 2 (which was called the Study in Version 1) has its own private full bathroom, making it an ideal guest room. All the rooms on this level have a ceiling that's set at 9'.

This plan comes with drawings for a detached three–car garage with a loft above. The loft sits under the slope of the roof that vaults from about 5'3" at the end walls to over 14' in the center.
