Key Features

Single-level layout with zero-step accessibility
Two private suites flanking the central living core
Vaulted bedrooms with generous en-suite bathrooms
Walk-in closet and dedicated laundry area for each suite
Private screened porch connected to each suite
Traditional kingpost-inspired timber framing throughout
Flexible office and expansive deck with indoor-outdoor fireplace

PalmettoSanctuary organizes daily life around a fully timber-framed central core, with two complete bedroom suites positioned on either side. Traditional kingpost-inspired timber framing brings warmth and architectural rhythm throughout the home, while the fireplace and generous outdoor spaces extend the gathering experience beyond the interior. Each suite adds another connection to the outdoors through its own screened porch.

That balance between shared and private space gives PalmettoSanctuary unusual flexibility. Both suites include a vaulted bedroom, generous bath, walk-in closet, dedicated laundry area, and screened porch, allowing each side of the home to function with greater independence when desired. Combined with zero-step accessibility and single-level living, the layout can comfortably support empty-nest living today while providing options for extended family, guests, or changing household needs in the years ahead.

Make the PalmettoSanctuary Your Own

PalmettoSanctuary offers several opportunities to shape the design around your household and long-term plans. The two-suite arrangement can be refined to accommodate extended family or guests, the flexible office can be adapted to another purpose, and the screened porches and deck can be tailored to strengthen the home's relationship with your particular homesite.

From subtle refinements to more substantial custom modifications, the Woodhouse design team can help adapt PalmettoSanctuary while preserving the qualities that make it distinctive. The result can remain a home centered on easy single-level living, with the right balance of shared spaces and independence for the people who call it home.

Empty Nest Series

Designed for comfortable aging, the Empty Nest series features single-story living for easy mobility. Attached garages, screened-in porches, front doors, and patios are all at ground level. The surrounding landscape is designed for minimal grading, with gentle steps down from the deck. A walk-through butler's pantry/mudroom provides convenience, while large open spaces, wide doorways, and shower-only bathrooms (with ample space for future mobility needs) offer a practical and efficient layout. Despite its compact size, the home is designed to comfortably accommodate guests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the PalmettoSanctuary timber frame floor plan be customized?

Yes. The PalmettoSanctuary can be modified to better suit your property, lifestyle, and long-term plans. The two-suite arrangement offers opportunities to adjust the balance between private and shared spaces, while the office, outdoor living areas, kitchen, and screened-in porches can also be refined to suit your needs. From focused changes to more substantial modifications, Woodhouse can tailor the design while preserving the character of its traditional timber frame architecture.

What makes the PalmettoSanctuary different from other Empty Nest Series homes?

The PalmettoSanctuary is organized around a central timber-framed living core flanked by two complete bedroom suites. Each suite includes a private bathroom, walk-in closet, dedicated laundry area, and screened-in porch. This creates an unusual degree of independence within a two-bedroom home, making the layout particularly flexible for homeowners who regularly host guests or want space that could accommodate an additional family member.

Is the PalmettoSanctuary designed for aging in place or multigenerational living?

The PalmettoSanctuary was designed with zero-step accessibility and flexible long-term living in mind. Its single-level arrangement keeps the primary living spaces and both bedroom suites on the first floor, while the two-suite configuration provides privacy and separation that could work well for empty nesters, extended family, or an additional family unit. The final home can also be customized around a homeowner's specific accessibility and aging-in-place priorities.

What does Woodhouse provide with the PalmettoSanctuary?

Woodhouse can provide the design, engineering, precision-fabricated timber frame, structural insulated panels (SIPs), Andersen windows and doors, project documentation, and support needed to turn the PalmettoSanctuary from a starting design into a custom timber frame home. Our team also works with your local builder throughout the process and provides on-site technical support during the initial timber frame installation. Your local builder or general contractor manages the day-to-day construction of the home.
