Plan 55757R is a 5-bedroom elevated coastal house plan that rises four stories, offers 3347 ft² of living space and blends Contemporary, Modern and Florida Style design under a hip and hip-and-valley roof. Siding covers the exterior walls, while large windows and panoramic windows give the facade its open, airy character. This single-family home includes three full bathrooms and one half bathroom, and it measures 48'0" wide and 48'2" deep.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan in which a large family room flows directly into the kitchen, so conversation never has to stop when someone is cooking. The front kitchen sits toward the front of the home and works hard for a busy family: a central island adds prep space, a breakfast bar handles quick morning coffee and homework, and a walk-in pantry keeps bulk groceries out of sight. A loft adds a flexible spot for reading, play or a quiet desk. An elevator connects all four stories, which makes carrying bags up from the garage effortless and keeps every level easy to reach for guests and family members of any age.
The main floor master gives the owners a private retreat on the living level, with a walk-in closet and direct access to the laundry, a small detail that saves countless steps every week. The laundry on the main floor serves the rest of the household just as conveniently. A split bedroom layout places the master suite apart from the other four bedrooms, and two of them share a Jack & Jill bath, a practical arrangement for siblings. The remaining full bathrooms serve the other bedrooms, and the half bath stays handy for visitors near the shared spaces.
Outside, the elevated design places a drive-under garage beneath the living levels, with room for four cars in a tandem arrangement and a front entry. Stacked porches frame the house: a covered front porch welcomes guests, a covered rear porch invites long evenings outdoors, and a balcony adds another place to enjoy the breeze. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the drawings and 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 available on request.
