Featured Beach House Plan:
Beach or seaside houses are often raised houses suitable for the shoreline sites. They are adaptable for use as a vacation house near water or even in mountain areas. The Tidewater house is typical and features wide porches, constructed of wood with the main living area raised one level. If interested in beach houses you may find something that suits your tastes by looking at our vacation home plans or our small home plans.
Perfect for low-lying beachfront areas or sited high and dry to capture mountain views, this design has ample interior space despite its narrow footprint.
The lack of hallways on the first floor, and only a small hall on the second floor, maximizes the square footage.
The country kitchen expands into the large dining area and family gathering space.
Optional doors from the master bedroom to the front deck can facilitate sunset viewing, while the rear deck is ideal entertaining space. Note the walk-in closet in the master bedroom and the bath shared with bedroom two.
Upstairs, bedroom four has study space in its dormer, which opens to a private "widow's walk."
The ground level can easily be converted into garage and storage spaces.
