Plan 17048R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with 3273 ft² of living space, drawn in the Craftsman and New American tradition with touches of Shingle style and a hip and valley roof punctuated by dormers. The H-shaped single-family home is clad in siding and measures 62'4" wide and 66'11" deep, with three full bathrooms, one half bath and an attached two-car garage.
A portico and a covered front porch lead to the entry, and from there the open floor plan unfolds toward the back of the house. The large family room is the heart of the home: a fireplace anchors one wall, vaulted ceilings lift the space, and the room is open to below from the upper level, so it feels generous and full of light. The rear kitchen is sized for real cooking and gathering, with a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps the counters clear. Because the kitchen and family room share one open space, whoever is at the stove stays part of the conversation.
The bedrooms are clustered together, and the master suite sits on the main floor with its own walk-in closet, an easy arrangement for everyday life and for the years ahead. With three full bathrooms, each bedroom has convenient access to a bath, while the half bath serves guests near the living areas. A home office gives a quiet place to work, the laundry is on the main floor, and dedicated storage keeps the house orderly. Above the garage, a bonus room offers flexible space for a playroom, a media room, a studio or a guest retreat, which makes this a house plan with bonus room that can adapt as the family changes.
The two-car garage extends forward and has a side entry, so the doors face away from the street and the front of the home keeps its Craftsman character. Out back, a screened porch invites long evenings without insects, and a patio opens to the yard for grilling and outdoor dining. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the drawings; it is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and 2×6 exterior walls can be requested in place of the standard framing.
