With their stately pillars and grand verandas, elegant Plantation home plans evoke the gentility of the Antebellum south. Firmly rooted in Federal and Greek Revival architectural styles, single and two story Plantation designs feature a medium pitched hipped or gabled roof, elaborate friezes, and breezy balconies that sometimes run across all four sides of the home.. Although imposing, facades tend to be simple and symmetrical with evenly spaced double hung floor to ceiling windows that provide maximum natural light and ventilation to the gracious well-proportion rooms inside. Estate sized home floor plans often feature grand central entryways with double staircases leading up to the second floor while more modest examples welcome visitors into an elegant hall that runs the length of the home. Southern in style but timeless in appeal, Plantation house designs are well-suited to families who appreciate their unique combination of classical formality and relaxed country charm.
