This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 42054R is a 5-bedroom single-story house plan in the Craftsman bungalow tradition, offering 1524 ft² of living space under a hip and valley roof. The H-shaped house measures 41'0" wide and 63'0" deep and blends traditional American character with a practical, modern layout. Its exterior pairs siding with stone/brick veneer, and the exterior walls are framed in 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing also available on request. Five bedrooms and three full bathrooms make this single-family home a comfortable fit for a growing family or for hosts who often welcome overnight guests.
Daily life centers on an open floor plan. A dedicated entry leads into the family room, where a fireplace anchors the seating area and draws everyone together on winter evenings. The large kitchen opens to it, with a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation and a breakfast nook for slower mornings over coffee. The design follows the reverse living idea, placing the main gathering spaces on the upper level, close to the porches and the balcony, while a media room gives the family a separate place for movie nights and game days.
The bedrooms follow a split layout, so parents and children each have their own quiet zone. The master bedroom sits on the main floor, and the plan includes a walk-in closet for organized storage of clothes and seasonal items. Three full bathrooms serve the five bedrooms, which keeps busy mornings running smoothly. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a separate utility room keeps the mechanical equipment away from the living areas.
The house stands on a walkout basement, which gives the lower level daylight and its own door to the outside; slab and crawl space foundations are also available on request. A front-entry 2-car garage completes the practical side of the home. Outdoors, a covered front porch greets visitors, and at the back, stacked porches combine a covered rear porch with a balcony, while a deck adds open-air space for grilling and summer dinners. This house plan with walkout basement offers 1524 ft² designed for comfortable living in every season.
