This Coastal-Inspired Ranch Home with European Flair blends timeless architectural character with the relaxed comfort of Southern living. Designed by Showvaker Residential Design, it’s a strong fit for homeowners building in South Carolina’s Upstate who want an elegant home that still feels warm, livable, and connected to the outdoors.


European-inspired details such as arched windows, a low roofline, and a refined stucco or brick façade create classic curb appeal, while coastal landscaping softens the architecture and reinforces a light, welcoming feel. Inside, neutral tones, natural textures, and elevated ceilings create an open, airy atmosphere. The main level offers a highly livable single-story layout with connected kitchen, dining, and living spaces that support everyday routines and easy entertaining.


A standout feature is the walk-out basement, which adds valuable flexible square footage for a media room, gym, guest suite, or multigenerational living. The lower level opens directly to the backyard, strengthening the indoor-outdoor connection. A generous rear deck expands outdoor living on the main floor and creates the perfect setting for quiet mornings and Upstate evenings.


When site conditions allow, passive solar principles and sustainability-minded strategies can improve comfort and performance. Aging-in-place planning can also be integrated subtly, helping the home support long-term living without compromising design.
