Plan 35310R is a 4-bedroom two-story French Country house plan with 5180 ft² of living space under a hip and valley roof, finished in brick and arranged in L-shaped and H-shaped wings. European and transitional details give this luxury mansion a gracious American character, and the home measures 107'5" wide and 71'2" deep. Four full bathrooms and a half bath serve family and guests across both levels.
The entry opens into an open floor plan where the large family room, with its fireplace, sets the tone for daily life, and vaulted ceilings add height and volume. The large kitchen is built for real cooking and easy gatherings: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a walk-in pantry for bulk storage and a breakfast nook for slow weekend mornings. A sitting area offers a quieter corner for reading or conversation. For work and entertaining, the plan includes a home office and a wine cellar or wine room, two spaces that set this house plan with fireplace apart from more ordinary designs.
The main floor master gives the owners single-level living, with a walk-in closet and a private bath. Split bedrooms keep the master suite apart from the secondary rooms, and two of the bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath. Laundry is handled on both levels, with a laundry room on the main floor and a second one upstairs, so no one carries baskets up and down the stairs. A mudroom near the family entrance catches coats, boots and backpacks before they reach the living spaces.
Outside, a courtyard and a covered rear porch extend the living area into the open air, with room for outdoor dining on summer evenings. The 2-car side-entry garage has space upstairs that can serve as storage or a future bonus room. The foundation is built as shown on the plans, and the design is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation; 2×6 exterior walls are offered as an option. For a family looking for a 4 bedroom house plan with generous rooms and a refined brick exterior, 35310R combines formal presence with everyday practicality.
