Plan 80886R is a 4-bedroom elevated coastal house plan rising four stories and offering 3587 ft² of living space beneath a hip & valley roof. Contemporary and modern lines meet a relaxed American character, siding wraps the exterior walls, and large windows open every level to the view. The house measures 48'6" wide and 54'6" deep. An elevator connects all four stories, so the trip from the garage to the bedrooms is easy with groceries, luggage or a sleeping child. With 4 full bathrooms and a half bath, this single family home is designed for a large household and for guests who stay a while.
The main living area follows an open floor plan with a center kitchen, so cooking, conversation and homework share one space. A wide island and a breakfast bar handle quick meals, a breakfast nook suits slower weekend mornings, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. The large family room gathers everyone around a fireplace, making this a true house plan with fireplace for cool evenings. A dedicated media room keeps movie nights separate from the rest of the house, and a home office gives a quiet place to work without leaving the family behind. A defined entry welcomes visitors and keeps coats and shoes in order.
This floor plan includes 2 master suites, a rare advantage for multigenerational living. The master suite on the second floor has a walk-in closet, and the bedrooms are clustered so parents stay close to the children. An in-law suite gives grandparents or long-term guests their own private retreat, and the laundry is on the second floor, on the same level as the master, so laundry day never means carrying baskets up and down the stairs.
Because the home is elevated, the 4-car garage is a drive under design with front entry and tandem parking, and the living space sits upstairs above it. Outdoor living is generous: a wraparound porch, stacked porches, a covered front porch, a covered rear porch, a screened porch, a balcony and a deck give a place outside for every hour of the day. The foundation is built as shown on the plans, and the design is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation. 2×6 exterior walls can be specified on request.
