Plan 38496R is a 5-bedroom two-story house plan that joins Traditional and American character with a modern farmhouse look, offering 4196 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof accented by dormers. This L-shaped single-family home is finished in siding and measures 63'4" wide and 95'9" deep, and its five full bathrooms make daily routines easy for a large household, whether it is a growing family or one that often hosts relatives.
The main floor is arranged as an open concept, with the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook flowing into one another. The large family room is gathered around a fireplace and rises under vaulted ceilings, while an open-to-below space connects it visually with the upper level and lets daylight move through the house. The large kitchen works equally well for weekday breakfasts and holiday dinners: a central island gives generous prep space, a breakfast bar seats the children while dinner is under way, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies close at hand. A bay window adds a bright, deeper corner to the interior, and a home office offers a quiet place to work away from the busy heart of the house.
The master suite sits on the main floor, so the owners have their bedroom on the same level as the kitchen and family room, together with a spacious walk-in closet. The bedrooms are clustered for a sense of togetherness, and a Jack & Jill bath shared by two of them saves morning time without sacrificing privacy. Above the garage, a bonus/flex room is ready to become a playroom, a media room or a guest space. Practical needs are covered too: the laundry is on the main floor, a defined entry keeps coats and shoes in order, and dedicated storage holds what a busy family accumulates.
Outside, a covered front porch greets guests, a covered side porch offers a second sheltered spot for coffee, and a screened porch makes summer evenings outdoors comfortable. The 3-car garage has a side entry and extends forward, keeping the garage doors off the main facade and shaping the L-shaped footprint. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the plans, and it is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement; the exterior walls can likewise be upgraded to 2×6 framing.
