Plan 90946R is a 4-bedroom coastal house plan raised on an elevated design over four stories, with 3315 ft² of living space, a hip and valley roof and siding on the exterior walls. Shaped by Beach and American influences, this single family home measures 34'0" wide and 65'5" deep. Stacked porches and a balcony give the front a layered, airy look. With 4 full bathrooms and a half bath, the house serves a large family just as well as one that likes to host relatives for long visits.
The heart of the home follows the reverse living idea: the main gathering rooms are lifted above the entry level, where daylight comes in from every side. An open floor plan joins a large family room under vaulted ceilings with a center kitchen arranged around an island. A breakfast bar handles quick meals and coffee, a breakfast nook holds the everyday family table, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies close but out of sight. An elevator connects all four levels, so groceries and luggage go up without effort, and grandparents and small children reach the living floor with ease. This is a 4 story house plan with elevator access that stays comfortable at every age.
The bedrooms are arranged as split bedrooms, so the owners and the rest of the household each have their own quiet side of the house. The master suite sits on the main floor and includes a walk-in closet, keeping the most-used rooms on one level. An in-law suite gives parents, an adult child or long-term guests a private retreat of their own. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and dedicated storage rooms keep seasonal things in order.
Outside, a drive-under, front-entry garage for 2 cars sits beneath the living levels, which keeps the street view clean and the cars sheltered. A covered front porch and a covered rear porch, stacked one above the other, are joined by a balcony, a deck and a patio, so there is always a shaded spot for a slow morning or a meal outdoors. The house has no basement and is built on the foundation as shown in the drawings; it is also available on request with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and with 2×6 exterior walls.
