With four en suite bedrooms and a soaring timber-framed great room, this Coastal Series design shows how Woodhouse’s timber framing house plans can be perfect for both entertaining and waterfront living.

 

 

 

For those seeking a waterfront home that balances classic design with stress-free hosting, Woodhouse introduces an exciting new plan. The TideView, the latest addition to our Coastal Series, builds on the popular OceanView design and retains all the hallmark features that make Coastal Series plans ideal for waterfront living—spacious upper decks, easy lower-level walkouts, and open, airy floor plans. Plus, it does all this while introducing thoughtful new touches that make hosting a breeze.

 

 

 

Guest-Ready Comfort and Privacy

At the heart of the TideView are four spacious bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom. With private, comfortable spaces for everyone, it’s ideal for multi-generational living or hosting short-term rentals like VRBO guests. Three of the bedrooms open onto private balconies, offering serene spaces to enjoy the coastal views. Convenience is also a priority: dual laundry rooms help make hosting longer stays easier, letting homeowners and guests enjoy the house while staying on top of chores. The open layout connects indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing gatherings to flow naturally from the great room to expansive decks.

 

 

Timber Framing House Plans Meet Modern Functionality

The TideView blends enduring craftsmanship with contemporary design features. Central to the home is a soaring timber-framed great room, echoed by a gracefully curved upper deck and optional lower patio. This striking architectural feature floods the space with natural light, showcases panoramic views, and adds a dramatic focal point perfect for waterfront or scenic settings. Modern updates ensure the plan meets today’s expectations for comfort and luxury.

 

With features ideal for hosting and everyday living alike, The TideView is ideal for those approaching retirement and looking to build a “forever” home on the water. Whether for family, friends, or vacation renters, this plan exemplifies what makes timber frame housing plans both timeless and remarkably adaptable.
