This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 42341R is a 3-bedroom, 3-story house plan with 2558 ft² of living space, an L-shaped footprint and a Craftsman character enriched with European and American details. A hip and valley roof crowns exterior walls of stone/brick veneer and stucco, and the house measures 40'0" wide and 77'6" deep. This single family home offers 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom, with three levels that give each part of daily life its own place.
The heart of the home is a large family room with a fireplace, its ceiling open to below so the space rises well above the main floor. An open floor plan joins it to a large kitchen built for real cooking and easy company: a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, a breakfast nook for slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies close at hand without crowding the counters. A sitting area offers a quieter corner away from the bustle, and a home office gives a dedicated room for work, study or household paperwork, with a door to close when the day is done.
The master suite sits on the second floor and includes a walk-in closet, while the split bedrooms layout keeps it apart from the two secondary bedrooms for more privacy on both sides. The half bathroom is convenient for guests, and the two full bathrooms serve the family. Practical rooms are thought through with care: laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, a utility room handles the mechanical side of the house, and dedicated storage keeps seasonal items and everyday clutter out of sight.
The house stands on a crawl space foundation and is also available with a slab or a walkout basement. Exterior walls are framed in wood 2x6, with wood 2x4 framing available on request. The 2-car front-entry garage extends forward of the main facade, shaping the L of the plan. A covered front porch welcomes visitors with a sheltered entry, and a covered rear porch extends the family room outdoors for summer dinners and cool evenings. For buyers looking for a Craftsman house plan with a fireplace, generous kitchen and a private upstairs master, this 3-bedroom, 3-story house plan delivers space, order and lasting curb appeal.
