This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 17756R is a 5-bedroom, 3-story house plan with 2825 ft² of living space, drawn in a contemporary Northwest style with clear Prairie influences and crowned by a hip and valley roof. Siding and stucco share the facade, large windows break up the elevations, and the home measures 52'0" wide and 57'0" deep. It is a modern family home built for year-round living, with three full bathrooms and room for more than one generation.
The open floor plan begins at a defined entry and moves straight into the shared living areas. A fireplace anchors the family room, and the large kitchen stays in view of it, so cooking and conversation happen in the same space. A breakfast bar handles quick meals and homework, while the breakfast nook offers a quieter spot for slow weekend mornings. The plan includes two kitchens, an uncommon feature that pairs naturally with the in-law suite and lets parents, grown children or long-term guests keep their own routine under the same roof.
The master bedroom is on the second floor, where the bedrooms are clustered together so the family sleeps close to one another. The master has a walk-in closet, and the three full bathrooms are spread across the house so no one waits in line. Laundry is placed on both the main floor and the second floor, which saves many trips up and down the stairs, and a separate utility room keeps the mechanical equipment out of the living areas.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors, and a covered rear porch and a deck extend the living space toward the backyard. The 2-car front-entry garage has space upstairs and a garage rooftop deck, and a balcony adds one more open-air retreat on the upper level. The house is designed on a slab foundation and is also available with a walkout basement or a crawl space. Exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood studs, with 2x4 framing available on request.
