Plan 10424R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan that blends Contemporary and Modern lines with the low, grounded spirit of the Prairie style. It offers 2168 ft² of living space under a hip & valley roof, with exterior walls in stone/brick veneer, wood and flexible ceramic. The single family home measures 47'2" wide and 62'3" deep, and it is designed without a basement, so every level sits above ground and opens to daylight.
The heart of the home is an open floor plan where a large family room flows into a large kitchen without walls in between. The kitchen is built for real family use: a central island for preparing meals, a breakfast bar for quick bites and conversation, and a breakfast nook for slower mornings over coffee. Window walls, large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows bring generous natural light into the shared spaces and keep the backyard in view from the kitchen and the family room alike. A proper entry welcomes guests and gives the arrival a sense of order.
The four bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private part of the house quiet and makes it easy for parents to stay close to the children. Three full bathrooms serve the household, so mornings run smoothly even with a full house. A walk-in closet adds generous wardrobe space, while the utility room and dedicated storage keep laundry, cleaning supplies and seasonal items neatly out of sight.
Outside, a covered rear porch extends the living area into the open air, and an outdoor kitchen next to it turns summer dinners and weekend gatherings into an easy routine. A two-car carport shelters the vehicles while keeping the front light and open. For families looking for a modern house plan with an outdoor kitchen, plenty of glass and room for everyone across three stories, this design delivers a refined, practical home.
