3-Story House Plan 4451 ft²: 5 Beds, 5.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 87310R is a 5-bedroom 4-story house plan with Charleston and Low Country character, offering 4451 ft² of living space beneath a flat roof. Clad in siding and built with Wood 2x6 exterior walls, this narrow single-family home measures 19'9" wide and 95'3" deep and rises to a height of 43'1". Its slim, vertical form follows Southern and New Orleans traditions, in which a house grows upward and reaches back instead of spreading sideways, giving each level its own character and purpose.

The heart of the home is an open floor plan that brings the large family room, the large kitchen and the breakfast nook together into one connected space. A fireplace anchors the family room, making it a natural gathering place on cool evenings, while an area open to below adds height and links the levels visually. The kitchen is built for real family life: a central island with a breakfast bar invites quick meals and conversation with the cook, the breakfast nook suits slower weekend mornings, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight. A loft adds another relaxed spot for reading, homework or a quiet hour away from the main rooms.

Five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one half bathroom give every member of the household comfortable room. The split bedrooms layout separates the private areas, and the master suite is placed on the second floor, complete with a walk-in closet. Laundry on the second floor keeps washing close to the bedrooms, so there is no carrying baskets up and down the stairs. An in-law suite offers relatives or long-term guests their own retreat with privacy, and a bonus/flex room can become a home office, playroom, gym or media room as the family's needs change. A defined entry welcomes visitors and gives the home an orderly first impression.

Outside, the house plan with stacked porches expresses its Charleston roots: a covered front porch greets the street, porches repeat on the levels above, and a balcony extends the living space into the open air. The home stands on a crawl space foundation and is also available with a slab or a basement on request; Wood 2x4 exterior wall framing is offered as an alternative to the standard 2x6. With four stories, generous bedrooms and porches on several levels, this Southern home combines classic architecture with a practical layout for a large family.
