This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 18289R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with Country and New American character, 1777 ft² of living space and a walkout basement below the main floor. A gable roof with a 6/12 pitch runs with its ridge parallel to the street, and siding over 2x6 wood framing gives the facade a traditional American profile with an easy modern farmhouse feel. The house measures 54'6" wide and 67'5" deep, with a height of 29'7", and 2x4 wall framing is also available on request.
The entry leads into an open floor plan where the large family room and a large kitchen share one generous space. In the kitchen, an island anchors the work zone, a breakfast bar seats the family for quick meals and conversation while dinner is being made, and a breakfast nook offers a calmer corner for the first coffee of the day. Large windows bring daylight deep into the living area, and the covered rear porch extends it outdoors on warm evenings. A home office gives a quiet place to work without leaving the heart of the house.
Split bedrooms give the main floor master real privacy: the suite sits apart from the two secondary bedrooms and includes a walk-in closet. With three full bathrooms and a half bath, this 3 bathroom house plan gives the bedrooms easy access to a bath and leaves a separate powder room for guests. Laundry on the main floor and a utility room keep daily chores on one level. A media room and a bonus/flex room add space for movie nights, hobbies, a playroom or overnight guests, so the home can change with the family.
The walkout basement is the main foundation of this house plan, opening the lower level to the outdoors; the design is also available with a slab or crawl space foundation. An attached 1-car garage with front entry makes arrivals simple in any weather. A covered front porch welcomes visitors, and stacked porches with a balcony bring outdoor living to more than one level, from morning sun on the upper porch to shaded afternoons below.
