Plan 42098R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan in the modern farmhouse style, spreading 2992 ft² across one L-shaped level under a roof that combines gable and hip & valley forms, with the ridge parallel to the street. Siding covers the exterior walls, and the American character shows in the generous proportions: the house measures 82'4" wide and 84'0" deep. Four full bathrooms and two half bathrooms serve the family and guests, and an attached 4-car garage completes the footprint.
The heart of the home is an open floor plan that joins the large family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook into one continuous space. A fireplace anchors the family room, so this is a house plan with fireplace that invites long winter evenings together. The large kitchen is built for everyday cooking and for entertaining: a central island with a breakfast bar gives room for quick meals and conversation, the breakfast nook offers a quieter spot for morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. A dedicated home office lets work happen at home without taking over the shared rooms.
The split bedroom layout places the main floor master suite apart from the two secondary bedrooms, which gives parents and children their own privacy. The master suite includes a walk-in closet and direct access to the laundry room, a practical detail that saves many steps; the laundry stays on the main floor for the whole family to use. With four full baths and two powder rooms, no one waits in the morning. Above the garage, a bonus level upstairs holds a bonus room above garage that works as a flex room for a playroom, a guest space, a gym or a hobby studio, making this a house plan with bonus room that adapts as the family grows.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors, and a covered rear porch extends the living space toward the backyard for meals and quiet afternoons in the shade. The attached garage offers both rear entry and side entry, keeping the garage doors away from the front facade. The foundation is as shown in the plans, and the design is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. The exterior wall framing is as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls also available on request.
