Plan 57962R is a 6-bedroom 4-storey house plan with Charleston and coastal character, offering 3877 ft² of family living beneath a gable roof. The ridge runs perpendicular to the street, and this narrow, elevated home design measures 30'0" wide and 62'0" deep, finished in a blend of siding and brick. Rooted in American beach architecture, the single-family house has four full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, enough for a large household with room to spare for guests.
The bedrooms follow a split arrangement, which sets the master suite on the second floor apart from the secondary rooms instead of sharing a wall with them. Two of the other bedrooms are joined by a Jack & Jill bath, a practical layout for siblings who each get their own door into it. A sitting area provides a quieter spot away from the busier rooms, handy for homework or an unhurried chapter of a novel. An elevator serves all four levels, so groceries, luggage and family members of every age can move between floors without the stairs. The laundry room is placed on the lower level.
The living floor is laid out as an open concept, with the kitchen, breakfast nook and family room flowing together. The large family room is centred on a fireplace, a welcome sight when the evenings turn cold. In the kitchen, an island supplies generous prep space and a breakfast bar seats a few people for quick meals, while the breakfast nook suits a slower weekend breakfast. A walk-in pantry holds bulk supplies and small appliances out of view, keeping the counters clear. With no walls between these rooms, whoever is cooking stays in touch with everyone gathered by the fire.
Stacked porches give the facade its signature coastal rhythm, pairing a covered front porch with a covered rear porch, and a lanai adds a shaded spot for outdoor dining. Beneath the living levels sits a 2-car drive-under garage with rear entry, keeping vehicles out of sight from the street and leaving the front elevation to the porches. The foundation is built as shown in the drawings, and the plan can also be ordered with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement. Exterior walls are framed as shown, and for those comparing house plans Canada wide, 2×6 exterior walls are available on request.
