Plan 57962R is a 6-bedroom 4-story house plan in the Charleston and coastal tradition, offering 3877 ft² of living space beneath a gable roof whose ridge runs perpendicular to the street. The elevated, narrow form is 30'0" wide and 62'0" deep, and the exterior pairs siding with brick, giving this beach house a look firmly rooted in American architecture. Four full and two half bathrooms serve a single-family home designed for a large household and frequent guests.
The open floor plan centers on a large family room with a fireplace, the natural gathering spot once evening settles over the porches. The kitchen is organized around an island and a breakfast bar, with a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies neatly out of sight. Because the family room, kitchen and nook flow into one another, whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation, and the whole zone reads as one generous, connected space for everyday meals and holiday gatherings alike.
The master suite sits on the second floor, and the split bedrooms layout gives it real privacy from the rest of the sleeping quarters. A sitting area adds a quiet corner for reading or a first cup of coffee. Two of the secondary bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, so children or visiting guests each have direct access to the bathroom without crossing the hall. The laundry is on the lower level, and an elevator connects all four stories, which makes this a house plan with elevator that works for every generation, from small children to grandparents.
Outside, stacked porches define the elevation: a covered front porch and a covered rear porch rise one above the other, complemented by a lanai for shaded outdoor living. The 2-car drive-under garage has rear entry, keeping the street facade clean and letting the porches take center stage. The foundation is built as shown in the drawings, and the plan is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement. Exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available on request.
