| House height
Traditionally, the overall height of a house is determined by measuring from the top of the finished floor on the main level, to the highest peak of the roof.

| Ceiling heights Raising or lowering the height of the ceilings on one or more floors of a house is often a simple change that can be made by your builder. However, if you want to raise the ceiling of the main floor of a two-story home, there has to be room to add steps to the existing staircase. |

| Main level | 9 |
| Upper level | 8 |
| Vaulted ceilings
We consider a room to be vaulted if the ceiling - whether flat, angled, or curved - is above 10 feet at its highest point. If you prefer that one or more rooms not be vaulted in your new home, this is a very simple change that your builder can make for you.

This second version of Southern Exposure has a slightly larger master suite, great room, and dining room, and a significantly larger kitchen – adding around 400 square feet of living space. In appearance, though, it's identical to the original.
The covered front porch is 8'–deep, and wraps around a portion of the left side of the house. The foyer provides access to a multi–purpose room on the left, a formal dining room on the right, and the great room straight ahead. Both rooms on either side of the foyer feature large windows that look out to and through the front porch.
The great room – like all the rooms on the main level – has a 9'–tall ceiling. It has a centrally–located fireplace that can also be enjoyed from the kitchen, great views to the rear, a glass door that opens to another covered porch, and a bumped–out bay that creates a sunny nook next to the kitchen.
A peninsula counter with a raised portion for casual eating or serving is all that separates the kitchen from the great room. The kitchen features a center island, plenty of counter space, a corner sink beneath a large window, and a desk and a pantry flanking swinging French doors that open to the dining room. A hall of the kitchen provides access to a powder room, a laundry, and the shop area of the garage.
The master suite is located on the opposite side of the house. A tray ceiling in the master bedroom rises to 10', and daylight enters through windows facing the front and side of the house. Both the front and rear porches can be accessed directly from the bedroom. The bath area has both a Jacuzzi tub beneath corner windows and a separate shower, two sinks, a private toilet, and a walk–in closet.
At the top of the stairs to the upper level you enter a large rec room with a vaulted section and views to the front. There are three bedrooms on this level, a large unfinished bonus room, and storage space over the garage.
Other Versions Available

Brief Description
This plan has the same floor layout as the original Southern Exposure, but most of the rooms are slightly larger, resulting in a total square footage of 3,005. This southern style home features a wrap–around porch at the front and a covered porch at the rear, which create a quaint exterior aesthetic, as well as additional living spaces. Abundant windows finish off the exterior, and bring in plenty of natural sunlight to the interior rooms.
