Plan 13825R is a 4-bedroom, 4-story house plan that sets a coastal home well above the ground: a narrow, elevated single-family design of 3821 ft², 32'4" wide and 64'6" deep, finished in siding beneath a hip & valley roof. Its character blends Shingle and Victorian details into a distinctly American coastal house plan, and the stacked porches, a balcony and a bay window give the facade depth and rhythm. An elevator links every level, so four stories feel as easy to live in as a single floor, whether you are carrying groceries or sharing the home with older relatives.
The living spaces follow an open floor plan. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace, which makes this a true house plan with fireplace for long winter evenings, and an open-to-below space adds height and connects the floors visually. Large windows bring generous daylight into the shared rooms. The large kitchen sits at the rear of the house around a central island with a breakfast bar, joined by a breakfast nook for relaxed mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies close at hand and counters clear.
The bedrooms are clustered to form a quiet private zone, and the layout includes 2 master suites, one of them a second-floor master, with walk-in closets for organized storage. Four full bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, so family members and guests rarely wait their turn. The laundry is on the second floor, just steps from the bedrooms, which saves trips up and down the stairs. A home office offers a separate place to work, the entry gives a tidy spot for coats and shoes, and dedicated storage rooms absorb seasonal gear.
Outside, the two-car drive-under garage has a front entry and is built into the base of the home, with living space upstairs. The house has no basement; the foundation is as shown in the plans, and the design is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. Exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available as an option. A covered front porch welcomes visitors, while the covered rear porch and the deck extend the rooms outdoors for meals and quiet evenings in fresh air.
