10 Home Plans with Sensational Staircases

Scarlett O’Hara first caught sight of Rhett Butler when descending the grand staircase of Twelve Oaks when Gone With the Wind debuted in 1939. Joe Pesci’s character got a face full of paint cans on the stairs in the 1990 hit Home Alone. As we well know, there’s nothing quite so satisfying as a grand entrance (or exit). That’s why we’ve decided to feature some of our gorgeous home plans with staircases that would fit seamlessly into any Hollywood movie. From staircases with hand-crafted Mission-style posts to modern designs with custom stained-glass landings, we’re showcasing craftsmanship that gets two thumbs up from our homeowners.

Mascord’s designs have gained national attention gracing the covers of magazines such as Builder, Better Homes & Gardens® and House Beautiful. We invite you to view more from Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc. on Pinterest and on Houzz.
