Plan 36061R is a 4-bedroom two-story country house plan with Southern and Low Country character and the relaxed look of a modern farmhouse. The L-shaped home of 3669 ft² sits under a hip and valley roof with dormers and a ridge parallel to the street. It holds four bedrooms, four full and one half bathrooms, and an attached 3-car garage. Siding covers the exterior walls, and the house measures 77'0" wide and 74'5" deep, a generous American single-family home made for year-round living.
An entry opens the house, and an open floor plan connects the main living areas. The large family room is the center of the home, with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace that gathers everyone on winter evenings. The large kitchen is built for real cooking and busy mornings. It has an island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower ones, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. A home office gives a quiet place to work without leaving the main floor.
This is a main floor master house plan with split bedrooms, so the master suite stays apart from the secondary bedrooms. The master suite includes a walk-in closet. With four full baths, every bedroom can have easy access to its own bathroom, and the half bath serves guests. Upstairs, a loft adds a flexible spot for reading or play, and the bonus room above the garage can become a media room, a guest space or a studio. Practical rooms sit where daily life needs them: laundry on the main floor and a mudroom that catches coats, boots and bags at the door.
Outside, a wraparound porch and a covered front porch give the house its welcoming Southern face, and large windows bring daylight deep into the rooms. A deck with an outdoor fireplace extends the season for evenings outdoors. The attached 3-car garage has a side entry, which keeps the garage doors off the main facade. The foundation is as shown in the plans, without a basement. A crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation is also available on request, as are 2×6 exterior walls.
