Elevated Coastal Craftsman with an Optional Lower Level
1,784 SQ. FT. | 2-3 BED | 2.5-3.5 BATH | 2-STORY | 2-CAR DRIVE-UNDER GARAGE
The Ellie puts 1,784 sq. ft. of vaulted, open living on a single elevated floor, with dining, kitchen and living sharing one volume down one side and two private bedroom suites on the other. A timber-framed gable crowns the front porch, and a 45' x 12' deck runs the full width of the rear.
Beneath it the plan draws a further 952 sq. ft. as an optional finish — a family and game room, a bunk room that becomes the third bedroom, its own full bath and a storage room, all opening at grade onto a covered patio. Build it out with the house or come back to it later; the drawing set is the same either way.
Optional 952 Sq. Ft. Lower Level: A 25' 10" x 14' 0" family and game room with sliding doors to the patio, a bunk room serving as the third bedroom, a full bath and a separate storage room. The stair down is interior, off the entry.
45-Foot Walk-Out Deck: A 45' 0" x 12' 0" deck spans the dining and living rooms and doubles as the roof of the walk-out patio directly below, giving covered outdoor space at grade and open deck above from one piece of framing.
Two Private Suites: Suite 1 (15' 0" x 14' 0", vaulted) carries a soaking tub, separate shower, private water closet and a 10' 2" x 8' 0" walk-in closet, with the laundry room just outside it. Suite 2 (14' 0" x 13' 0") sits behind the front bay, works equally well as an office, and has a full bath of its own.
Vaulted Open Living: Dining, kitchen and living run together as one vaulted room under 10-foot walls, anchored by a gas fireplace and an island kitchen, with clear sight lines from the front door through to the deck.
Craftsman Exterior Details: A timber-truss entry gable over an 18' x 8' covered porch, exposed timber brackets under the eaves, shingle and lap siding, and a steep 10:12 standing seam metal roof.

Every blueprint in our collection is crafted with a strict focus on structural flow and spatial efficiency. The Ellie puts a complete home on one elevated floor and draws the level beneath it ready to finish, so the house you build now and the house you grow into share the same foundation and the same set of drawings.
Every blueprint is crafted by Angela, a professional spatial designer with a degree in Construction Graphics Technology from Purdue University and studies in interior architecture.
With 16+ years of custom home design — including a decade in custom construction in Charleston, SC — Angela specializes in resilient coastal style homes designed for flood and hurricane zones.
