The Gray House

2-Bedroom Elevated Low Country Bungalow

1,144 SQ. FT. | 2 BED | 2.5 BATH | 3-STORY

The Gray House is a beautifully compact 1,144 sq. ft. elevated low country bungalow blueprint that proves exceptional design requires no minimum square footage. Engineered on a resilient pier and piling foundation, this three-level stack design places a secure attached garage at ground level, an open-concept living zone in the middle, and two private bedroom suites at the top.

Complete with a main-level powder room and a highly convenient upper-level laundry closet, this layout maximizes both vertical space and everyday privacy. It delivers the ultimate, highly efficient footprint for a resilient beach cottage, smart infill build, or high-performing vacation rental property.

Elevated Pier & Piling Foundation: Engineered for true coastal resilience—elevated safely above flood zones with a secure ground-floor garage below.

Open-Concept Living Floor: The entire second level features an airy open layout with an L-shaped kitchen and living zone made for casual hosting.

Dual Private Bedroom Suites: Both top-floor bedrooms feature their own dedicated full en-suite bathrooms for complete resident and guest privacy.

Upper-Level Laundry Closet: Smartly positioned laundry hookups on the bedroom level keep daily housekeeping completely effortless.

Secure Ground-Level Garage: The attached 1-car garage provides excellent parking alongside substantial storage space for coastal gear and tools.
