Plan 41659R is a 4-bedroom two-story house plan that gathers Coastal, Low Country and Southern cottage character into 1916 ft² of living space, crowned by a gable roof with hip and valley sections and dormers. The ridge runs parallel to the street, and siding wraps the exterior walls of this American single family home. The narrow footprint measures 43'0" wide and 94'2" deep, and a portico with a covered front porch marks the entry.
Inside, a closed floor plan gives every room its own shape and purpose rather than one large open space. The family room is the heart of the house, with a fireplace and vaulted ceilings, while large windows bring in daylight through the day. Winter evenings by the fire make this a true house plan with fireplace. The rear kitchen pairs a breakfast bar for quick meals with a breakfast nook for slower weekend mornings, and the laundry on the main floor keeps everyday chores close to the kitchen and living areas.
The main floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, and the split bedrooms layout places it apart from the other bedrooms for real privacy. Three full bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, so busy mornings run smoothly for the whole family. A loft adds a flexible spot for reading, homework or a quiet media corner, and the bonus/flex room above the garage can become a home office, playroom or guest room as the household changes.
A breezeway links the house to the detached, side-entry 2-car garage, keeping the garage apart from the living spaces. Outdoor living comes in three forms: the covered front porch, a screened porch for summer evenings and an open deck for sunny afternoons. The foundation is built as shown in the plans, and this 4-bedroom two-story house plan is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls offered on request.
