Plan 73259R is a 3-bedroom coastal house plan that rises four stories on an elevated design, offering 2877 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof. Clad in siding and drawing on beach and American traditions, this single-family home measures 44'4" wide and 34'0" deep and is designed for living in every season, not only the summer months.
The layout follows a reverse living plan, which places the main living spaces above the bedroom level, where the outlook is widest. An open floor plan joins a large family room with a fireplace, a comfortable sitting area and a kitchen set at the rear of the house. The kitchen is built for daily use: an island with a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps the counters clear. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight deep into the rooms, and on winter evenings the fireplace makes the family room the natural place to gather.
On the second floor, the master suite and the two other bedrooms are clustered together, with a walk-in closet for the owners. The laundry is on the second floor as well, right where the clothes are, so baskets never travel between levels. The house has four full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, so mornings run smoothly even with guests staying over. A home office offers a quiet corner for work, the entry welcomes visitors at the door, and dedicated storage holds beach gear and seasonal items. An elevator connects all four levels, making this 4-story house plan with elevator easy to live in for years to come.
The elevated home stands on the foundation as shown and includes a drive-under garage for four cars in a tandem arrangement, with both front entry and rear entry. The plan is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and with 2×6 exterior walls on request. Outdoor living is generous: stacked porches, a covered front porch, a covered rear porch, a balcony, a deck and a lanai offer plenty of places to sit outside, from the first coffee of the day to the last light of the evening.
