Southern in name and classic in style, the Wassaw floor plan from Ernest Homes remains a favorite among homebuyers searching for effortless, single-story living in the Savannah, GA region. This plan can be built on Wexford in Richmond Hill or New Haven at Belmont Glen in Guyton, its thoughtful layout continues to inspire many of our modern designs.
Offering 1,898 square feet of beautifully planned living space, the Wassaw features four bedrooms, two baths, and a spacious open-concept common area designed for easy, relaxed Southern living. The exterior blends charm and functionality with durable vinyl siding, classic asphalt shingles, and an optional brick veneer accent. A welcoming covered entryway can be enhanced with additional columns, and optional round windows create added curb appeal. Homebuyers could even select a decorative carriage-style garage door with glass accents to complete the look.
Inside, the Wassaw shines with a smart, efficient layout. The bedrooms line one side of the home, with the primary suite located at the rear for added privacy. Homeowners could personalize the primary bath with dual sinks, a garden tub, or a spacious stand-up shower—perfect for relaxing evening soaks or busy morning routines. Customizable lighting and ceiling options allowed owners to tailor the space to their personal style.
The optional covered patio—accessible from both the primary suite and the breakfast area—offered shaded comfort during warm Georgia summers, making al fresco dining a breeze. For even more versatility, buyers could add a heated sunroom for an extra 112 square feet of living space, ideal for a home office, playroom, craft area, or peaceful reading nook.
The breakfast area flows naturally into the large living room, where an optional fireplace added warmth and ambiance for holidays, gatherings, or quiet evenings at home. A dedicated dining area provides space for formal meals or dinner parties, while the convenient pass bar offers quick access to kitchen activities.
The efficient kitchen design includes a five-shelf pantry, energy-efficient appliances, and an attached laundry center—available in multiple sizes—leading directly to the two-car garage. Beyond the garage, homeowners enjoyed additional ground-level storage plus easy access to attic storage via stair entry.
