13-1874 HOUSE PLAN – Coastal Home Plan – 4-Bed, 3-Bath, 2,800 SF

Coastal Shingle Style Home Plan with Craftsman Accents

This beautifully balanced Coastal Shingle Style home blends timeless exterior detailing, stacked porches, and Craftsman-inspired trim into a welcoming two-story design built for everyday living. With approximately 2,800 heated sq. ft., four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and expansive outdoor living areas, this plan offers a flexible layout ideal for families, multigenerational living, or those who simply love traditional coastal architecture.

Exterior Architecture & Materials

The home’s exterior showcases a harmonious mix of horizontal siding and a durable stone foundation, bringing both texture and curb appeal. The double stacked porches provide signature coastal charm while also enhancing natural ventilation and shade. Craftsman trim elements—including tapered columns, exposed rafter tails, and symmetry-driven window groupings—add refinement without overpowering the home’s casual coastal presence.

This combination of Shingle Style and Craftsman influences creates a richly layered architectural expression that feels equally suited for beach towns, lakeside communities, or refined suburban neighborhoods.

Main Level Living & Interior Flow

Inside, the main floor centers around an open-concept living layout—a feature increasingly prized in modern homes for its ability to connect the kitchen, dining, and living spaces with light and ease. Large windows line the front and rear of the home, ensuring soft natural light throughout the day. The front porch opens directly into the main living area, making this home ideal for indoor–outdoor entertaining.

The kitchen includes ample countertop space, a spacious island, and generous storage. Its adjacency to the dining area makes mealtimes intuitive and flexible, whether hosting casual family dinners or larger gatherings. A secondary flex space on the main level can serve as an office, study, hobby room, or playroom—and can easily adapt as household needs evolve.

Bedrooms & Private Spaces

This home features 4 bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged for both privacy and convenience. The primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with room for a king bed, reading nook, and a well-appointed walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom supports luxury living with double vanities, a spacious shower, and optional soaking tub layout.

The secondary bedrooms are generously sized and positioned to create separation between sleeping and living zones. A shared hall bathroom and central laundry location help streamline daily routines. The option for a bonus room or loft space upstairs adds valuable versatility—perfect for media use, guest accommodations, or a teen lounge.

Outdoor Living & Porches

Double porches—one on each floor—are defining elements of this design. The lower porch creates a welcoming transition space, while the upper porch provides elevated views and a private retreat connected to bedroom or loft spaces. These porches not only contribute to aesthetics but also extend daily living outdoors in a naturally comfortable way.

Energy Efficiency & Build Quality

The home’s materials, layout, and structural composition support energy-conscious living. High-quality siding, tight thermal envelopes, and stone elements help improve durability and long-term value. Thoughtful window placements reduce lighting demands throughout the day. With the included CAD files, builders can tailor insulation and mechanical system options for regional climate performance.
