This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 42734R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan for a single-family home, with 3495 ft² of living space arranged over three levels and an exterior finished in siding. The footprint measures 97'0" wide and 72'0" deep, a broad outline that gives a large household real room to spread out. The house is designed without a basement, so every level of the floor plan sits above ground and the daily life of the family stays close to the daylight.
The heart of this 4 bedroom house plan is its generous bathroom count: four full bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, a ratio that spares the family the familiar queue on busy school and work mornings. A half bathroom adds convenience for guests, so visitors never need to wander into the private rooms. A walk-in closet keeps clothes and seasonal things neatly out of sight, and the bedrooms can remain calm, uncluttered places to rest. With three stories to work with, the home makes it natural to give children, teenagers and parents a little distance from one another.
Practical rooms carry much of the everyday load. A dedicated laundry room keeps washing and folding out of the living areas, and a mudroom offers a place for boots, coats, backpacks and sports gear before they reach the rest of the house. The bonus/flex room is the most adaptable space in the plan: a home office, a playroom, a hobby room, a media room or a quiet guest room, and it can change its role as the family grows. For anyone looking for a house plan with a bonus room and plenty of storage, this combination is a strong one.
Outside, the attached 2-car garage with a side entry keeps the garage doors off the main facade, so the front of the home reads as a residence rather than a driveway. Arriving home on a rainy evening, the family can step straight from the car into the house under one roof. The siding exterior gives the three-story volume a clean, classic finish, and the wide, deep footprint of 3495 ft² makes this a comfortable, long-term home for a growing family.
