This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 39612R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with 2823 ft² of living space, a modern farmhouse look rooted in American tradition and a hip and valley roof accented by dormers. This L-shaped single family home is finished in siding and measures 54'8" wide and 66'0" deep. A portico marks the front entry, and inside, a split bedroom layout keeps the master suite apart from the other bedrooms, giving parents and children their own quiet corners.
The heart of the floor plan is an open concept space under vaulted ceilings. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace, which makes this a natural choice for anyone searching for a house plan with fireplace, and it is where winter evenings bring everyone together. The center kitchen sits between the living areas, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. A generous island and a breakfast bar handle quick meals and homework, while the breakfast nook is reserved for slower weekend mornings. A walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, and a corner window adds an extra share of daylight.
With a main floor master, everyday life can stay on one level: the owners' bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and the laundry on the main floor is only steps away. Three full bathrooms and a half bath serve the household, so mornings run smoothly and guests have a powder room of their own. A media room is ready for movie nights, and a bonus/flex room can become a home office, a playroom or a guest space as the needs of the family change.
Outside, the 2-car garage has a courtyard entry and extends forward, turning the garage doors away from the front of the house and framing the approach to the portico. A screened porch invites relaxed evenings outdoors, and a deck adds room for grilling and summer dinners. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the plans, without a basement. The plan is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement, as well as with 2×6 exterior walls on request.
