This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
House plan 15070R is a family house plan of 2383 ft², a home meant to be lived in all year round, in the country or the suburbs, with a choice of foundations and wood wall framing available on request. The house measures 34'0" wide and 69'0" deep, so it is about twice as deep as it is wide: its volume runs back from the front rather than spreading sideways. That long, slender outline gives the home a calm, orderly presence.
The foundation can be matched to the way the family wants to build. The plan is drawn without a basement, and three options are available on request. A slab foundation is the simplest of them and keeps the house close to the ground. A crawl space raises the floor slightly and leaves a low, accessible zone beneath it for pipes and ducts, which keeps later service work simple. A walkout basement adds a lower level with its own exit to the outside, a strong choice for anyone looking for a house plan with walkout basement and extra space for the years ahead.
The exterior walls are just as flexible. Wood 2x6 framing and wood 2x4 framing are both available on request. The deeper 2x6 wall leaves more space for insulation, which counts on long winter evenings, while the 2x4 wall is the familiar, lighter framing used in many North American homes. The choice is made before construction begins, so the walls can follow the priorities of the family and the builder.
Taken together, 15070R leaves its key structural decisions open: what stands beneath the home and how its walls are built. For a family comparing floor plans, that makes it easy to weigh a slab against a crawl space or a walkout basement, and 2x6 framing against 2x4, while keeping the same long, well-proportioned house of 2383 ft².
