The Cypress House Plan

4-Bedroom Elevated Low Country House Plan

3,115 SQ. FT. | 4 BED | 3.5 BATH | 2-STORY

The Cypress is a wide Low Country house with clapboard and board-and-batten siding and three separate porches, covered and open, so there is a place outside for every hour of the day. Inside, the kitchen is vaulted, with an oversized island in the middle and a walk-in pantry behind it.

The primary suite has its own wing of the main floor, with a five-piece bath and a walk-in closet with built-ins. Upstairs, a guest suite has its own bath, and two more bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. An elevator serves every floor, and 2,147 square feet of side-entry garage sits under the house.

Three porches: covered and open-air, on different sides of the house, so you can follow the shade or the breeze.

A vaulted kitchen: the ceiling opens up over the kitchen, with an oversized island and a walk-in pantry.

A primary wing on the main floor: set apart from everything else, with a five-piece bath and a walk-in closet fitted with built-ins.

A guest suite and a Jack-and-Jill upstairs: the guest room has its own bath, and the other two bedrooms share one between them.

An elevator and a big garage: the elevator reaches every floor, and 2,147 square feet of drive-under garage takes the cars and everything else.

  • Footprint: 60’ 6” Width x 56’ 6” Depth
  • Max Ridge Height: 38’ 2”
  • Foundation: Post / Pier
  • Framing: 2x6 Exterior Walls | Truss Roof Framing
  • Ceilings: 10’ First Floor | 9’ Second Floor
  • Garage: Drive-Under 2-Car Side Entry (2,147 sq. ft.)
  • Roof Details: 6 on 12 Pitch | Truss Framing

The Cypress puts the porches, the vaulted kitchen and a private primary wing together in one house that feels big when it is full and personal when it is not.

What foundation does The Cypress come with?

The Cypress is drawn on a pier / piling foundation. It is an elevated plan, with the living space raised above open space or parking, drawn for flood zone and coastal lots. A local engineer sizes the foundation for your soil and wind zone.

How tall is The Cypress and how much ground does it cover?

The maximum ridge height is 38' 2". The footprint is 60' 6" x 56' 6", which is the number to check against your setbacks; porches and the garage count toward it even though they are not in the heated area. Heated living area is 3,115 square feet on 2 stories.

What comes in the plan set for The Cypress, and what do I still need locally?

A licensed construction set: cover sheet with general notes, foundation plan, dimensioned floor plans for every level, all four exterior elevations, a cross section, roof plan, electrical plans, and door and window schedules, sold as PDF, PDF plus CAD, or Chief Architect files. Every set is licensed for one build at your build address. An engineer's review and stamp where required, a site plan, engineered floor and roof framing, mechanical and plumbing drawings and energy compliance are produced locally, as they are for any stock plan.
