Plan 10656R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan in the Low Country tradition, offering 5013 ft² of Southern living beneath a hip and valley roof punctuated by dormers. Siding wraps the exterior of this single family home, which measures 49'8" wide and 102'4" deep, and its American character shows in the stacked porches and generous windows. Inside are five full bathrooms, a half bath, two master suites and a bonus level at the top of the house.
The entry leads into an open floor plan centered on a large family room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, while floor-to-ceiling windows pull the eye toward the outdoors. The front kitchen looks out over the approach to the house and is planned for real cooking: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a walk-in pantry and a breakfast nook brightened by a corner window. Morning coffee in the nook and a fire on a cool evening share one connected space, yet each area keeps its own purpose. A home office offers a quieter place to work, set apart from the activity of the family room.
A split bedrooms layout gives everyone privacy. One master suite sits on the main floor and the second on the second floor, so this house plan with two master suites suits multigenerational families or guests who stay for weeks rather than days. Four bedrooms are served by five full bathrooms and a powder room, and a walk-in closet adds wardrobe space. Laundry on the main floor keeps daily chores close to the kitchen, storage rooms absorb seasonal gear, and the bonus level upstairs can become a playroom, a studio or a media room. The plan also includes an ADU, independent living space for a relative or a long-term guest.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors, a covered rear porch and a screened porch extend the living spaces, and stacked porches give the upper floor its own outdoor rooms. Large windows on every side keep the interior bright. The detached 2-car garage has rear entry and side entry, leaving the front facade uncluttered. The house is built on the foundation as shown on the drawings, and is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation; 2×6 exterior walls can be requested as well.
