3-Story House Plan 2342 ft²: 4 Beds, 3.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

Plan 46204R is a 4-bedroom elevated coastal house plan that rises four stories above a drive-under garage, with 2342 ft² of living space, a hip roof and siding on the exterior walls. This single-family home blends beach and American character with a vertical layout: 3 full bathrooms and 1 half bath, a family room with a fireplace and an elevator that links every level. The house measures 37'8" wide and 69'0" deep, and its compact footprint uses height rather than width.

The heart of the home is an open floor plan built around a center kitchen. A large island with a breakfast bar faces the living area, so the cook stays part of the conversation, and a walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances off the counters. The family room carries the fireplace, a natural gathering point on cool evenings after a day at the shore. Because the space is open, the kitchen, dining and family room share light and views, and the flow continues out to the covered rear porch and the lanai.

The bedrooms are clustered, which keeps the private side of the house quiet and separate from the busy living floor. The owner's bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and three full bathrooms mean that family members and overnight guests never compete for a sink in the morning. A half bath serves visitors near the living spaces. The laundry sits on the lower level, close to the garage, with dedicated storage nearby for beach gear, seasonal items and everything that should not crowd the closets. The elevator makes moving between the four stories easy, whether you are carrying groceries up from the car or planning to stay in the home for decades.

Outside, the elevated design places a 2-car garage under the house with front entry, and the garage with upstairs space puts the rooms above to good use. A covered front porch welcomes guests at the entry, while the covered rear porch, the lanai and a balcony give each level its own outdoor room for morning coffee or a breezy dinner. The foundation is built as shown in the plans; versions with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement are also available on request, as is an option with 2×6 exterior walls. For a family that wants a coastal house plan with an elevator, generous porches and room for everyone, this design delivers.
