The Heron House Plan
4-Bedroom Traditional Low Country House Plan with Elevator
3,214 SQ. FT. | 4 BED | 3.5 BATH | 2-STORY | 2-CAR DRIVE-UNDER GARAGE
The Heron is a stunning marriage of traditional Low Country exterior character and a thoroughly modern, open interior floor plan. A U-shaped staircase and built-in elevator greet you at the front door, leading into a grand great room that sets the tone for the entire home — spacious, light-filled, and effortlessly livable.
The main floor features a primary bedroom suite, an L-shaped kitchen and dining room that wraps around an optional screened-in porch with outdoor grill access, a walk-in pantry, laundry room, and additional storage. Upstairs, three bedrooms surround an open loft lounge, with bonus storage above — a rare and practical feature for elevated coastal homes.
