This two-story Southern plan has 2,670 sq ft of living space, not counting the garage, on a footprint of 66'-7" × 37'-1". A front porch and a back porch frame the main floor. The foyer (5'-5" × 11'-11") leads to the dining room (13'-3" × 9'-4"), the kitchen (10'-5" × 15'-11") and the great room (13'-3" × 25'-5"). The 2-car garage (17'-2" × 18'-10") enters through a mudroom (6'-4" × 8'-2") beside the laundry (6'-4" × 7'-4").

The primary suite and the office are on the ground floor. The primary bedroom is 10'-4" × 17'-6", with a 9'-4" × 6'-2" closet and a 9'-4" × 10'-0" bath. A powder room serves guests. Upstairs, a 5'-6" × 24'-5" hall connects three bedrooms, a playroom (9'-8" × 16'-2") and two baths. That gives the plan 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in total.

Who this plan suits

This plan suits families who want the primary suite and office on the entry level, with the children's bedrooms and playroom upstairs. It needs a lot wide enough for a 66'-7" × 37'-1" footprint plus setbacks, with room for front and back porches.

How this plan was made

It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Two-story Southern house, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, ground floor primary suite, kitchen, dining, great room, office; upstairs 3 bedrooms, attached 2-car garage, deep front and back porches, about 2,700 sq ft of living space (garage not included).” An AI architect drafted the room program, a layout solver placed every wall and door, and the plan was checked automatically for room sizes, circulation and daylight. The same project produced the PDF sheets, layered DXF, IFC model and 3D model you can download above.

Frequently asked questions

What are southern house plans?

Southern house plans typically feature deep front and back porches, a central entry and living spaces that open toward outdoor areas. This version is a two-story, 4-bedroom layout with 2,670 sq ft of living space and porches at both the front and the back.

What affects the lot and building cost of this plan?

The 66'-7" × 37'-1" footprint sets the minimum lot width once setbacks are added. Cost drivers include the two-story structure, the attached 2-car garage, the two porches, and the 3.5 baths, which concentrate plumbing in the primary bath, powder room and two upstairs baths. Local labor, materials and site conditions will change the final figure.

Can I change this plan by chat?

Yes. You can describe changes in chat, such as adding or removing rooms, moving the garage to the other side, or narrowing the plan for a tighter lot. The layout is then updated and the room sizes are recalculated.

How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?

The PDF is for reviewing and sharing the floor plans with your builder or lender. The DXF opens in CAD software for drafting and site-plan work. The IFC can be imported into BIM tools for coordination and model-based work.
