This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 15659R is a 2-bedroom narrow house plan that rises four stories, offering 1260 ft² of living space beneath a hip roof with a crisp pyramid form. It follows the Charleston tradition, blending Southern and American character in a tall, slender single family home clad in siding. The house measures 16'0" wide and 36'0" deep, and it makes up for its slim footprint with height, generous outdoor rooms and a layout where every level has a clear purpose.
The living spaces follow an open floor plan, so the family room and the kitchen read as one continuous area rather than a series of closed rooms. A fireplace in the family room gives the home its natural gathering point, which makes this an inviting house plan with fireplace for long winter evenings. The kitchen is set at the rear of the house and is built for everyday cooking and casual meals alike: a central island with a breakfast bar, a separate breakfast nook for slow mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight and the counters clear.
The master suite sits on the second floor, and the bedrooms are clustered together for a quiet, private sleeping zone away from the main living area. A Jack & Jill bath adds convenience, and in total the home provides three full bathrooms and one half bathroom, an unusually comfortable ratio for a 2-bedroom house. A bonus/flex room gives the plan extra flexibility and can serve as a home office, a guest room, a playroom or a media space as the family's needs change.
Outside, this 4 story house plan is defined by its stacked porches. A covered front porch greets visitors, a covered rear porch offers a shaded place to sit, and a balcony extends the upper rooms into the open air. At the top, a rooftop deck becomes a private terrace for evening gatherings under the sky. The plan does not include a garage. The house is designed on the foundation as shown in the drawings and is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, while 2×6 exterior walls can be ordered on request.
