Plan 43606R is a 4-bedroom two-story house plan with a modern farmhouse character, offering 4282 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof accented by dormers. Its American lines are drawn in brick and stone/brick veneer, and the H-shaped footprint measures 64'0" wide and 76'4" deep. The two wings frame a courtyard that gives the approach a sheltered, welcoming feel. With four full bathrooms and a half bath, this single family home is sized for a busy household and frequent guests.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan built around a large family room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace. A sitting area beside it gives a quieter spot for reading or long conversations on winter evenings. The rear kitchen opens to this space and works hard: a large island with a breakfast bar, a breakfast nook for everyday meals, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. Large windows and a bay window bring in daylight, and a wine room adds a touch of hospitality for entertaining. For anyone who works from home, a dedicated home office sits apart from the main living areas.
This main floor master house plan places the owner's suite on the ground level, with a walk-in closet and a split bedrooms layout that keeps it apart from the other bedrooms for privacy. The remaining bedrooms share in the generous count of four full bathrooms, so morning routines run smoothly. Practical rooms are well thought out: laundry on the main floor, a mudroom for coats, boots and bags, extra storage, and a bonus/flex room that can become a playroom, a gym or a guest space as the family's needs change.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors and a covered rear porch extends the living space for summer mornings and evening dinners. The two-car garage extends forward and has a courtyard entry, so the doors face inward and the front elevation stays clean. The foundation is as shown in the drawings, and the plan is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available on request. It's a house plan with fireplace, porches and a courtyard that suits year-round family life.
