This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 12254R is a 4-bedroom three-story house plan that arranges 3047 ft² of living space over three levels under a hip & valley roof, with exterior walls finished in stone/brick veneer and stucco. Its character draws on Transitional, American and Modern Craftsman styles, and the house measures 64'5" wide and 42'0" deep. This single family home offers 3 full bathrooms, an attached 2-car garage and a reverse living layout, which places the main living areas upstairs rather than at street level.
The open floor plan joins the family room, the dining area and the kitchen into one generous space. A fireplace anchors the family room, and on a winter evening it is where everyone ends up. The large kitchen is built for real cooking and for company. An island with a breakfast bar gives a casual place for a quick meal or homework, a breakfast nook holds the slower morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. Large windows bring daylight deep into these rooms. For movie nights and game days, the plan includes a dedicated media room, and a bonus/flex room can become a home office, a playroom or a guest space.
The second floor master suite has its own walk-in closet. The bedrooms are clustered together, so parents stay close to the children while the living areas remain separate. With three full bathrooms there is no rush in the mornings. The second floor laundry sits near the bedrooms, which saves trips up and down the stairs with baskets. A utility room, storage and a defined entry handle the everyday practical side of family life.
The house stands on a slab foundation and is also available with a walkout basement or a crawl space. The exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, and 2x4 framing is offered as an option. The front-entry 2-car garage includes space upstairs. Stacked porches give the facade depth: a covered front porch welcomes guests, while a covered rear porch, a balcony and a patio extend living outdoors for summer dinners and quiet evenings. Anyone looking for a 3 story house plan with a fireplace, a large kitchen and plenty of flexible rooms will find a lot to work with here.
