This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 19096R is a 5-bedroom 3-story house plan in the Modern Craftsman style, offering 2244 ft² of living space beneath a hip & valley roof. Stone/brick veneer and stucco cover the exterior walls, and the footprint measures 40'0" wide and 61'0" deep. With 4 full bathrooms, a 2-car garage and a full basement, this single-family Craftsman house plan brings American character to a home sized for a large family.
The main floor follows an open floor plan. The family room has a fireplace and a ceiling open to below, so the second-floor hallway looks down into the heart of the house. The large kitchen is built for daily cooking and for hosting: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a sunny breakfast nook and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. A home office gives a quiet place to work away from the busy rooms, and the laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs.
The master suite is on the second floor and comes with a walk-in closet and its own bathroom. The layout combines split bedrooms with clustered bedrooms, so the parents keep some privacy while the children's rooms stay close together, and four full bathrooms mean nobody waits in the morning. The basement adds a media room for movie nights and a utility room for the mechanical equipment, leaving plenty of usable space for the family.
Outside, a portico marks the entry and leads to the covered front porch. Stacked porches add outdoor space on more than one level, and the covered rear porch opens to a deck for summer dinners. The front-entry 2-car garage extends forward of the facade. The house stands on a basement foundation and is also available with a slab or crawl space. The exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing available on request.
