Plan 37724R is a 3-bedroom 4-story coastal house plan that brings together the relaxed ease of beach living with a modern farmhouse look. Its 2189 ft² rise on an elevated design dressed in siding and crowned by a hip and valley roof, with an American sense of proportion. The footprint measures 61'8" wide and 55'8" deep, and an elevator links every level so the whole family moves easily between floors.
The layout follows the reverse living idea, placing the main gathering spaces on an upper level where the views and the light are best. An open floor plan joins the large family room, warmed by a fireplace, with a large rear kitchen that works as the heart of the home. The kitchen offers an island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a breakfast nook for slower ones, while a walk-in pantry keeps supplies close at hand. On winter evenings the fireplace makes this house plan with fireplace a natural place to gather.
The bedrooms are arranged as split bedrooms for privacy. The master suite sits on the second floor, with a walk-in closet and direct access to the second-floor laundry, a small luxury that saves many steps each week. Two full bathrooms serve the household, and an in-law suite gives visiting parents or older children a comfortable space of their own. A mudroom, a utility room and generous storage keep sandy shoes, gear and seasonal items out of the living areas.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes guests, and a covered rear porch, a screened porch and a lanai extend daily life into the open air for breakfasts and long summer evenings. The 2-car front entry drive-under garage sits beneath the house, with space upstairs above it. The foundation is as shown on the plans, and the design is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available on request.
