Plan 70970R is a 4-bedroom coastal house plan on four stories: an elevated single family home with 2785 ft² of living space, a hip & valley roof and siding on the exterior walls. Beach and American influences shape its look, with layered porches, a balcony and a tall profile. The house measures 34'6" wide and 56'4" deep, a vertical design that sets the main rooms above the ground and serves every level with an elevator.
The living areas follow an open floor plan. A large family room with a fireplace anchors the space, and on cool evenings it becomes the natural gathering point. The center kitchen sits within view of it. This large kitchen has an island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a breakfast nook for slower mornings, so the family can eat casually without a separate table in the main room. A walk-in pantry adds storage for groceries and small appliances and keeps the counters clear.
The split bedrooms arrangement separates the master suite from the other three bedrooms, which gives parents and children or guests their own quiet zones. The second floor master shares its level with the laundry, so washing stays close to the bedrooms and the closets instead of a trip down the stairs. Three full bathrooms and one half bathroom serve the household and visitors. A mudroom handles wet shoes, beach bags and coats at the entry, and a dedicated storage room holds seasonal gear, while the elevator makes moving luggage and groceries between floors easy and keeps every level accessible.
Outside, the home offers a wraparound porch together with a covered front porch and a covered rear porch, plus a balcony, a deck and a patio, so there is a shaded spot or an open one for every hour of the day. The drive under garage fits 2 cars and has a front entry. The house is built on the foundation as shown on the drawings; it is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement on request. The exterior wall framing is as shown, and 2×6 exterior walls are available as an option.
