The Elsey House Plan
4-Bedroom Coastal House Plan
2,735 SQ. FT. | 4 BED | 4 BATH | 2-STORY
The Elsey solves a common problem: how to put up guests comfortably without giving up the privacy of the family. A guest suite on the main floor, with its own shower room and vanity room, sits well away from the family bedrooms upstairs.
The rest of the main floor is open living, with a separate office and an optional pass-through window from the kitchen for handing plates out to the porch. Every one of the four bedrooms has its own bath, the laundry is upstairs with the bedrooms, and there is a screened porch and a covered one.
A guest suite on its own: a main-floor bedroom with a separate shower room and vanity room, apart from the family.
An office on the main floor: a workspace with a door, without giving up a bedroom.
Four bedrooms, four baths: every bedroom has a private bathroom.
An open primary bath: the upstairs owner's suite has an open bathroom layout and a generous walk-in closet.
Porches and a pass-through: a screened porch, a covered porch, and an optional window over the sink for passing food and drinks outside.

What foundation does The Elsey come with?
The Elsey is drawn on a slab on grade foundation. A local engineer sizes the foundation for your soil and wind zone.
How tall is The Elsey and how much ground does it cover?
The maximum ridge height is 32' 0". The footprint is 40' 0" x 49' 0", which is the number to check against your setbacks; porches and the garage count toward it even though they are not in the heated area. Heated living area is 2,735 square feet on 2 stories.
