Plan 11740R is a 5-bedroom three-story house plan that offers 4209 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof, with exterior walls of brick and natural stone and a character drawn from French Country and English design. The H-shaped footprint measures 65'2" wide and 77'6" deep, and its wings give the single-family home a balanced, stately face toward the street. European and American traditions meet here with a rustic warmth, and the plan counts five full bathrooms and one half bath, a generous setup for a large family and frequent guests. It reads as a true luxury house plan without losing the ease of everyday living.
At the center of the main floor, an open floor plan joins a large family room with a fireplace and vaulted ceilings to a center kitchen sized well above the ordinary. The kitchen works hard: an island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. A sunroom extends the daytime spaces toward the garden, and large windows pull light deep into the rooms. For movie nights and game days, a dedicated media room gives the family a place to gather apart from the kitchen bustle.
The main floor master suite with its walk-in closet sits on its own side of the house, and the split bedrooms layout places the other bedrooms away from it for quiet and privacy. An in-law suite makes this a practical house plan for multigenerational living or long visits from family. Daily chores stay simple with laundry on the main floor and a mudroom that catches coats, boots and backpacks at the door. The bonus level upstairs adds flexible space that can grow with the household's needs.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors, while a covered rear porch becomes an extra living room on mild evenings. The attached 3-car garage offers both front entry and side entry, and includes space upstairs above it. The house is drawn on the foundation as shown in the plans, and it is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation. The exterior wall framing is as shown, with 2x6 exterior walls available on request.
