This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
House plan 34468R is a year-round family home of 1507 ft², measuring 49'0" wide and 56'0" deep. These proportions create a house that reaches further back than it stretches across the front, a shape that suits a settled life in the country or the suburbs. It is a home to grow into, with room for slow mornings and quiet winter evenings. Much of its appeal lies in how it can be adapted before construction begins, starting with what lies beneath the floor plan and what forms its outer walls.
The plan does not include a basement as drawn, and the choice of foundation is available on request. A slab foundation keeps the home close to the ground and gives it a simple, low base. A crawl space is also available, leaving an accessible area beneath the floors for pipes and other services. For a family that wants more space, this can also become a house plan with a walkout basement, adding a lower level with its own direct way outdoors. That level could serve as extra storage, a place for hobbies or a playroom for the children.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice, with wood 2x4 or wood 2x6 framing available on request. Wood 2x4 is the classic framing of North American homes, while 2x6 exterior walls are thicker and leave a deeper cavity for insulation. Together, these options allow the structure of the house to be chosen around the way a family plans to build and live, from the foundation to the walls that will shelter them through every season.
