Palmetto Beach Hut House Plan
4-Bedroom Modern Elevated Coastal Cottage Plan
2,018 SQ. FT. | 4 BED | 3 BATH | 2-STORY | 2-CAR DRIVE-UNDER GARAGE
The Palmetto Beach Hut is the spacious successor to our top-selling Magnolia Beach Hut design. It maintains the highly efficient 30-foot footprint required for narrow coastal lots while purposefully expanding the interior volume for modern living. Structured for multi-generational families or versatile vacation hosting, the Palmetto integrates a fully independent lower-level guest suite, providing maximum flexibility without compromising the classic coastal aesthetic.
A welcoming entry leads directly into a soaring vaulted living and dining area. The indoor-outdoor flow is seamless, pushing out onto a multi-level rear deck where a striking dual-sided fireplace bridges the covered and uncovered living spaces. Below, the drive-under garage provides ample storage and leads to a private lower suite that opens directly to a ground-level patio.
Independent Lower-Level Suite: A fully functional downstairs living space featuring a bedroom, kitchen + bar, bath, and direct access to the lower patio. Perfect for guests, older children, or private rental potential.
Dual-Sided Outdoor Fireplace: A striking architectural centerpiece shared between the covered and uncovered rear decks, extending the usability of your outdoor living spaces deep into the cooler seasons.
Vaulted Shared Living Space: Soaring vaulted ceilings over the open dining and living rooms create an expansive atmosphere, flanked by a well-appointed kitchen with a large eat-in island and a walk-in pantry.
Primary Suite with Deck Access: The vaulted primary retreat features direct access to the open rear deck. The en-suite is designed for daily comfort, featuring dual sinks, a private water closet, and a large bench shower.
Direct-to-Laundry Drop: An intelligent spatial feature in the primary walk-in closet includes a direct clothes-drop into the adjacent laundry room, streamlining household logistics.
Multi-Level Rear Decking: A robust outdoor footprint featuring a covered deck for entertaining, an open deck off the primary suite for sunning, and a connecting staircase down to the ground-level patio.
