Plan 53827R is a 4-bedroom coastal house plan rising four stories on an elevated design, with 2676 ft² of living space under a hip and hip-and-valley roof. Shakes and shingles wrap the exterior walls, giving this American single-family home a relaxed beach character. The footprint measures 38'0" wide and 51'10" deep, and the floor plan includes 3 full and 2 half bathrooms.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan where the front kitchen, dining space and family room share one continuous area. The kitchen faces the front of the home and offers a breakfast bar for quick meals and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. In the family room, a fireplace anchors the seating, so this is a house plan with fireplace warmth for cool evenings by the shore. A sitting area adds a quieter corner for reading or conversation, and a bonus/flex room can become a media room, office or playroom as the family changes.
The bedrooms follow a split layout, with the master suite on the main floor, set apart from the other three bedrooms for privacy. The main floor master includes a walk-in closet. Daily routines are easier with a mudroom that catches sandy shoes and wet gear, a laundry room on the second floor, and dedicated storage. The two half bathrooms serve guests without sending them through the private areas of the house.
Outside, stacked porches give every level a place to step out: a covered front porch, a covered rear porch, a lanai and a balcony invite you to enjoy the breeze and the view from different heights. The elevated design is paired with a drive-under, front-entry garage for 2 cars, tucked beneath the living floors. The foundation is built as shown in the plans, and the home is also available on request with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, as well as with 2×6 exterior walls.
