Plan 19735R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan with 2742 ft² of living space, designed as a modern farmhouse with American country character. Its roof combines gable and hip-and-valley forms with dormers, and the exterior walls are finished in siding. The ridge runs parallel to the street, so the long, low front reads calmly from the curb. The house measures 76'8" wide and 73'5" deep. Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a half bath sit on one level, and a bonus room rises above the garage.
The entry leads into an open floor plan built around a large family room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, where winter evenings bring the whole household together. The large kitchen opens directly to this space, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. An island and a breakfast bar handle quick meals and homework, while a breakfast nook suits slower weekend mornings. A walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. Large windows carry daylight deep into the shared rooms, making this house plan with a fireplace feel generous and bright.
A split bedroom layout places the main floor master on one side of the home, away from the other three bedrooms, so parents and children each have their own quiet zone. The master suite includes a walk-in closet. With three full bathrooms and a half bath for guests, busy mornings run without a line at the door. The utility room holds the laundry on the main floor, and dedicated storage keeps everyday gear in order. Above the garage, the bonus/flex room can become a playroom, a home office or a guest retreat.
A covered front porch welcomes visitors, and a covered rear porch extends daily life outdoors on summer afternoons. The side-entry 2-car garage keeps the garage doors off the main elevation, so the front of this one-story house plan stays clean and inviting. The plan is drawn with the foundation as shown. It is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement, and 2×6 exterior walls can be ordered on request.
