Plan 45616R is a 4-bedroom 2 story house plan with Acadian and Louisiana roots, offering 3539 ft² under a gable roof with dormers and a ridge parallel to the street. Brick and siding cover the exterior walls, and the T-shaped single family home measures 76'4" wide and 58'8" deep. Country, traditional and American influences meet a modern farmhouse ease, while four full bathrooms and a half bath keep busy family mornings moving without a line at any door.
The open floor plan gathers the household around a large family room with a fireplace and vaulted ceilings, a space generous enough for holiday visits and quiet winter evenings alike. The large rear kitchen works as the hub of the main floor. An island and a breakfast bar give room for cooking and casual meals, a breakfast nook adds a relaxed spot for coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies close at hand. For anyone who works from home, a dedicated home office provides a separate place to focus away from the everyday activity of the living areas.
The master suite sits on the main floor and includes a walk-in closet. Thanks to the split bedrooms layout, it is set apart from the secondary bedrooms, which gives parents privacy and children their own territory. A Jack & Jill bath links two of the bedrooms, so each has direct access without sharing a hallway bath. Laundry on the main floor, a utility room and storage make household chores easier to manage. Above the garage, a bonus room offers flexible space for a playroom, a guest area, a hobby room or a media room as the family grows.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes guests, and a screened porch extends the living space into the open air. An outdoor fireplace makes cool evenings outdoors last longer, and a corner window brings daylight into the house from two directions. The front-entry 2-car garage extends forward and forms part of the T-shaped composition. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the plans, and it is also available 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 available on request. This house plan with fireplace, bonus room and a main-floor master suits families who want a classic Acadian home with practical everyday comfort.
