There’s something timeless about a Southern-style home with wide porches, graceful columns, and windows that let in streams of light.
This 4,817-square-foot, five-bedroom layout wraps you in classic charm right from the brick walkway, welcoming you into an interior that balances open gathering spaces with private retreats.
With two full stories and a versatile bonus room, this house offers both grand statement rooms and intimate corners, all connected through smooth transitions that make daily living and entertaining easy.
Specifications:
- 4,817 Heated S.F.
- 5 Beds
- 5.5+ Baths
- 2 Stories

The Floor Plans:
Porch
Stepping up to the front of the house, you’ll see how the porch stretches almost the entire width, framed by crisp white columns and flower boxes that give a cheerful welcome.
This is the kind of space made for rocking chairs, waving at neighbors, or catching your breath with a view of the garden.
It connects directly to the main foyer, setting a relaxed but elegant tone.
Foyer
When you walk into the foyer, the space feels expansive thanks to the open staircase and a clear view straight back into the home.

There’s a nice symmetry with rooms branching left and right, but it doesn’t feel overly formal.
I appreciate that the foyer gives you clear sightlines, so you can glimpse the main rooms without feeling too exposed.
Library
Off to the left of the entry, the library has a cozy, intimate feel. Big enough for a pair of armchairs and shelves, this room is perfect for quiet afternoons with a book or escaping from the bustle elsewhere in the house.
If you work from home or love a peaceful spot to collect your thoughts, this space delivers.
Dining Room
On the opposite side of the foyer, the dining room is ready for gatherings, from holiday dinners to Sunday brunches.
There’s room for a long table, which I think is great when you’re hosting. The direct flow into the kitchen makes serving meals especially convenient.
Kitchen
The kitchen centers around a large island, making it a great spot for breakfast or meal prep when you’re cooking for a crowd.
There’s plenty of counter space and a generous layout, so it’s easy to move around.
I like that the kitchen overlooks both the dining and breakfast areas. This setup keeps everyone connected, even if some are snacking while others do homework.
Breakfast Area
Just beyond the kitchen, the breakfast area feels bright and casual—perfect for morning routines or a quick lunch.
Windows along the back wall let in plenty of sunlight and offer a view of the backyard.
I find this is one of those spaces where the best everyday moments happen, like kids with cereal or catching up over coffee.
Great Room
The great room sits at the center of the home, connecting both formal and casual spaces.

There’s room for a big sectional, a fireplace, and maybe even a piano, so you can really stretch out and relax here.
Large windows keep the space filled with natural light. The view out to the rear porch is especially nice in the afternoons.
Rear Porch
Open the back doors and you’ll find the rear porch, another outdoor living area perfect for Southern evenings.
It’s large enough for a dining set or lounge chairs. This porch connects easily to both the great room and breakfast area, making it a true extension of your living space during good weather.
Master Bedroom
Located on the far left of the main level, the master suite feels completely private.
The bedroom is oversized, so you can add a sitting area or a writing desk and still have plenty of room.
I think this quiet spot away from the busier parts of the house makes it a true retreat.
Master Bath
The master bath is laid out for both busy mornings and relaxing evenings. Dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower create a spa-like feel.
There’s a private water closet and a window that brings in soft light.
Wardrobe
Walk right from the master bath into a generous wardrobe. This space is more like a dressing room than a standard closet, with plenty of storage to keep things tidy.
I love not having to cram everything into a small closet—this feels like a real luxury.
Half Bath
Near the great room but out of the main line of sight, the half bath is conveniently located for guests. Its location gives privacy while still being easy to access from the living spaces.
Laundry
Just beside the half bath and wardrobe, the laundry is set up for efficiency. There’s space for a washer and dryer plus storage, so chores stay contained without taking over the rest of the house.

I noticed that its location makes it handy for both the master suite and the main living areas.
Kitchen Pantry
Off the kitchen, the pantry is easy to reach but stays out of sight. This storage keeps clutter off the counters, which I think helps the kitchen feel cleaner and more welcoming.
The Main Level Floor Plan
Near the garage entry, the powder room is perfect for anyone coming in from outside or the bonus areas. I prefer having this setup because it keeps muddy shoes and messes away from the main parts of the house.
Storage
Next to the garage and just off the laundry, there’s a dedicated storage room. It’s perfect for holiday decorations, sports gear, or anything you want to keep handy but out of sight.
This is a detail you don’t always get, but I think it makes a big difference for daily life.
3 Car Garage
The attached three-car garage offers more than enough space for vehicles, bikes, and even a workbench if you want one.
Wide access means you don’t have to juggle cars to get in and out. From here, you can head directly into the main house through a side porch, which is especially handy when you come home with groceries or kids.
Side Porch
A smaller covered side porch off the garage acts as a secondary entrance. I think this is ideal for muddy boots, quick trips to the yard, or just having a spot to unload before heading inside.
Foyer Staircase
The main staircase rises from the center of the foyer, wide and welcoming. It makes moving between levels easy, and I like how it keeps the upstairs private from the main gathering areas.

Now, let’s head upstairs to see how the second floor is set up.
Balcony
At the top of the staircase, you step onto a wide balcony that overlooks the foyer below.
This space connects all the upper bedrooms and adds character with its dramatic view down to the entry.

It’s a feature that gives the home personality without wasting space.
Study Area
Right off the balcony is a built-in study area. This spot is perfect for kids doing homework or anyone who needs a desk away from the main flow.
The size allows for more than one person to work at a time, which I think is a real bonus for busy families.
Bedroom 2
Directly to the right, Bedroom 2 is one of the larger upstairs bedrooms. It features an en-suite bath, giving privacy and convenience—especially for guests or older children.
The windows face the front, bringing in lots of natural light.
Bath 2
Connected only to Bedroom 2, this bathroom prioritizes privacy. There’s a shower/tub combo, a single sink, and just enough space to feel comfortable without being oversized.
Bedroom 3
Further down the hall, Bedroom 3 sits right next to Bedroom 4, making it easy to picture siblings sharing this part of the house. There’s a reach-in closet and quick access to Bath 3.
Bedroom 4
Next to Bedroom 3, Bedroom 4 is slightly larger and shares the hall bath. A nice window setup makes sure the room never feels dark, and being close to the study area is handy for school-aged kids.
The Second Level Floor Plan
Bath 3
Bath 3 is shared by Bedrooms 3 and 4. It’s equipped with dual sinks, helping to keep things moving on busy mornings.
The layout separates the shower and toilet from the sink area, which I think makes for better flow.
Bedroom 5
At the far end upstairs, Bedroom 5 stands out for its size and flexibility. With an attached sitting area, you could use this space as a guest suite, playroom, or even a media room if you don’t need a fifth bedroom.
The extra space gives you options as your needs change.
Bath 4
Bath 4 connects directly to Bedroom 5, so whoever uses this room gets a private bathroom. This setup works well for multi-generational households or anyone wanting a little more independence.
Bath 5
Located just outside Bedroom 5 and near Bedroom 4, Bath 5 is another full bath, so everyone upstairs has easy access. With so many bathrooms, you’re rarely waiting for your turn—I think this is a real plus for a big family.
Linen Closet
A linen closet close to the bedrooms keeps towels, sheets, and extras organized and within reach. It’s a small thing, but it makes daily life easier.
Now, let’s take the secondary staircase or head through the hall to reach a real surprise above the garage.
Bonus Room
Stretching the entire length of the garage, the bonus room is a blank canvas. You can use this space for a home gym, a massive playroom, or a teen hangout—there’s plenty of room to make it your own.
Skylights and windows keep it bright, and since it’s set apart from the main house, noise is never an issue.
This country Southern home blends classic looks with modern function. Wide porches, clever storage, and a floor plan that changes with your needs make it easy to picture yourself settling in for the long haul.
Every level and room feels intentionally created for both everyday living and those special moments that matter most.
