Plan 10039R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan with 2634 ft² of living space, a steep gable roof pitched at 11/12 (42°), and a modern farmhouse silhouette refined with contemporary and European detailing. The L-shaped single-family home measures 54'5" wide and 56'3" deep, with a height of 28'3", and its ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the tall gable end greets every arrival. Exterior walls combine wood and stucco. Large, panoramic and floor-to-ceiling windows, along with a skylight, give the modern facade its clean, open character.
The main living areas share an open floor plan. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace, the natural place to gather on a winter evening, and it flows directly into a large kitchen built around an island. A walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, and a breakfast nook under a corner window gives the family a casual spot for morning coffee. Because the rooms open into one another, whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation, and guests move easily between the kitchen and the hearth.
This is a house plan with 2 master suites: one master on the main floor and a second master on the second floor. That arrangement suits multigenerational living, older parents or long-staying guests, and the plan also includes an in-law suite for even more independence. Clustered bedrooms keep sleeping areas grouped and quiet, a walk-in closet adds generous storage, and four full bathrooms serve the household. Laundry is on the second floor, close to the bedrooms. A separate utility room houses the mechanical equipment, and a defined entry gives everyone a place to drop coats and shoes.
Outdoor living wraps around the house. A wraparound porch and a covered rear porch provide shade in every season, a deck extends the living space outdoors, and a balcony opens from the upper level. The attached 2-car garage has front entry, and its roof becomes a garage rooftop deck, an unusual extra place to sit outside. The home has no basement and stands on strip footings; it is also available with a slab foundation. Exterior walls are built of aerated concrete block, with clay block or wood framing available on request.
