2-Story House Plan with Basement 2314 ft²: 4 Beds, 4 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

House plan 39453R is a family home of 2314 ft², designed to be lived in all year round in the country or the suburbs. The house measures 40'0" wide and 47'0" deep, which gives the family and their builder clear numbers to work with from the first conversation. This family house plan leaves two major construction decisions open: what the home stands on and how its exterior walls are framed.

The foundation can be chosen to suit the project. The plan is available with a slab, which sets the home close to grade and keeps the structure simple. It is also available with a crawl space, which leaves an accessible area beneath the floors for pipes and ducts. For families who want more room below the main level, a walkout basement is offered on request as well. This option adds a lower level with its own door to the outside, and daylight can enter along its open side.

The exterior walls are available in two versions: Wood 2x4 and Wood 2x6. Framing with 2x4 lumber is a familiar choice for builders in the US and Canada, while 2x6 framing creates a deeper wall with more room for insulation, a welcome detail on long winter evenings.

Each of these options is available on request, so house plan 39453R can be prepared to match the way the home will be built. With 2314 ft² to plan around and the foundation and wall framing settled, the family can bring one clear set of decisions to their builder and start on a house made for everyday life.
