This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 42784R is a 3-bedroom three-story house plan that pairs Modern and New American lines with a calm Transitional character, offering 2509 ft² beneath a hip & valley roof. Stone/brick veneer and stucco dress the exterior walls, large windows open up the facade, and the house measures 41'6" wide and 77'6" deep. This single family home brings together three full bathrooms, a main floor master and a 2-car garage in a balanced American layout, made for a family that wants room to spread out on every level.
The entry leads into an open floor plan that joins the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook in one connected space. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace, so this house plan with fireplace has a natural gathering point for winter evenings. The large kitchen is organized around an island with a breakfast bar for quick meals and homework, while a walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight. The breakfast nook gives the household an everyday table close to the cooking, and a home office offers a quiet room for work or study away from the busy family room.
The bedrooms follow a split layout, which gives the master suite real privacy from the secondary bedrooms. The master sits on the main floor and includes a walk-in closet, a convenience that matters more with every passing year. Three full bathrooms keep mornings moving without waiting in line. Laundry on the main floor, a separate utility room and dedicated storage handle the practical side of daily life. A loft and a bonus/flex room add flexible space that can become a playroom, a media room, a hobby corner or a place for visiting guests as the family grows and changes.
Outside, a covered rear porch extends the living area into the yard and gives a sheltered spot for morning coffee or dinner outdoors. The front entry 2-car garage is set forward of the main facade, adding depth to the street view and keeping the cars close to the house. The home is designed on a crawl space foundation, and it is also available with a slab or a walkout basement on request. Exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood for solid, well-insulated construction, with 2x4 wood framing available as an option.
