This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 41963R is a 5-bedroom single-story house plan with a walkout basement, offering 1692 ft² of Modern Craftsman living beneath a hip & valley roof highlighted by a dormer. Siding meets stone/brick veneer across the facade, a pairing that gives this American Craftsman house plan both warmth and weight, while large windows open the rooms to daylight. The home measures 43'6" wide and 64'6" deep, and five bedrooms share three full bathrooms.
The heart of the house follows an open floor plan and a reverse living arrangement, so the everyday gathering spaces sit on the upper level above the walkout floor. The family room is anchored by a fireplace, a natural place to settle on winter evenings. The kitchen works hard without closing itself off: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a breakfast nook for slower mornings all face the shared space, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. A media room gives movie nights their own setting, and a home office offers a quiet corner for work away from the activity of the kitchen.
Bedrooms follow a split layout for privacy. The main floor master stands apart from the secondary rooms and includes a walk-in closet, while two of the other bedrooms are linked by a Jack & Jill bath, a practical arrangement for children or guests. Laundry on the main floor saves trips between levels, and a utility room, generous storage and a defined entry keep the daily routine organized from the moment the family walks in.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors, and a covered rear porch is part of stacked porches that, together with a balcony, connect both levels of the home to the outdoors. The two-car front-entry garage extends forward of the main house. The house stands on a walkout basement and is also available with a slab or a crawl space foundation. Exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing available on request.
