Plan 95791R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with 2384 ft² of living space, an elevated single family home with coastal, Low Country and modern farmhouse character under a gable roof with dormers. The ridge runs parallel to the street, siding covers the exterior walls, and the house measures 51'0" wide and 56'0" deep. Beach, lake, cottage and Southern influences give this coastal house plan a relaxed, unmistakably American look, refined enough for a family that wants to live here in every season.
Inside, an open floor plan brings the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook together into one generous living area, and vaulted ceilings add height and air overhead. The family room is anchored by a fireplace, which makes this a house plan with fireplace that suits long winter evenings. The kitchen is planned for real daily use: a central island for preparation, a breakfast bar for quick meals and homework, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. The breakfast nook offers a quieter place for the first coffee of the day, while a separate sitting area gives the household another corner to read or talk away from the busiest part of the home.
The main floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, and the split bedrooms layout places the two remaining bedrooms apart from it, so parents and children or guests each keep their privacy. Three full bathrooms and a half bath ease the morning rush and give visitors a powder room of their own. Laundry on the main floor keeps washing close to everyday routines, and a defined entry gives everyone a spot to leave coats, shoes and bags before stepping into the open living space.
The exterior of this 3-bedroom 2-story house plan is made for time outdoors. A covered front porch and a wraparound porch welcome visitors, while stacked porches and a balcony link the upper level with the open air. A covered rear porch, a screened porch and a deck offer three different ways to enjoy a summer afternoon, and an outdoor fireplace together with a 2-sided fireplace carries the warmth beyond the walls on cooler nights. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the drawings, matching its elevated form, and is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, as well as with 2×6 exterior walls on request.
