3-Story House Plan 1300 ft²: 4 Beds, Home Office, 2.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 1-Car Garage

Plan 94231R is a 4-bedroom coastal house plan spread over four stories: an elevated beach home of 1300 ft², with a gable roof and dormers and walls finished in shakes / shingles. The ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the narrow gable end faces the road, while the house measures 37'0" wide and 52'6" deep. The character is American, with the relaxed coastal look of a single family home built for living there all year.

The living floor follows an open floor plan, so the kitchen, dining area and family room share one continuous space. The kitchen sits at the front of the house and is generously sized, with a large island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a corner window that brings daylight onto the counters. The family room is just as roomy and is anchored by a fireplace, which makes this a house plan with fireplace that feels good on a cool evening by the sea. A home office gives a quiet place to work away from the main room.

There are four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath for guests. The master suite is on the second floor and includes a walk-in closet, and the split bedrooms layout keeps it apart from the other bedrooms for more privacy. The laundry is on the main floor, where it is easy to reach, and a mudroom catches sandy shoes and wet towels before they get any further into the house. Dedicated storage helps keep beach gear and seasonal items out of sight.

Outside, stacked porches give each level its own place to sit in the fresh air, starting with a covered front porch, and a lanai adds another sheltered outdoor room for meals and long afternoons. Below the living levels, a drive under garage for one car with front entry keeps parking under the house. The foundation is as shown for this elevated 4 story house plan, and it is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. The exterior walls are framed as shown, and 2×6 exterior walls are available on request.
