Plan 10609R is a 4-bedroom coastal house plan on four stories, offering 2789 ft² beneath a hip & valley roof with dormers and a ridge parallel to the street. Its elevated form, siding exterior and wide porches draw on Beach and Low Country traditions in a single-family American home with 3 full and 1 half bathrooms. The house measures 44'0" wide and 65'0" deep, and an elevator links every level, so grandparents, guests and armloads of groceries reach the upper floors with ease.
The open floor plan joins the kitchen and the large family room into one generous space for daily life and entertaining. A fireplace anchors the family room and gives the house a gathering point on cool evenings. The kitchen centers on an island with a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation with the cook, and a walk-in pantry keeps bulk supplies and small appliances off the counters. A proper entry receives visitors, while a separate mudroom catches sandy shoes, wet towels and backpacks before they reach the living areas.
The master suite sits on the main floor, split from the remaining bedrooms for privacy, and includes a walk-in closet. The other three bedrooms are clustered together, which suits children, guests or a home office close at hand. Three full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, and a half bath is placed for visitors. Laundry on the main floor saves trips between levels, and a bonus/flex room adapts to a playroom, a media room or a quiet studio as the family changes.
Outside, stacked porches give the house its classic coastal profile: a covered front porch welcomes arrivals, a covered rear porch offers shade for outdoor dining, and a balcony adds an open-air spot on an upper level. The 2-car garage is a drive-under, front-entry design tucked beneath the living floors. The foundation is built as shown in the plans and is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement on request, and 2×6 exterior walls can be specified as well.
