This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
House plan 47834R is a large house plan of 3635 ft², a generous family home measuring 90'0" wide and 74'0" deep, with foundation and wall framing options available on request. These outer dimensions describe a substantial residence, built to be lived in all year round and to give a household room to settle in and grow over the years.
The foundation can be chosen to match how the family wants to use the house. This home is available on request with a slab, which keeps the structure close to the ground. It is also available with a crawl space, which leaves accessible room beneath the floors for pipes and ducts. The third option is a walkout basement, for those who want a lower level with its own door to the outside, a useful extra on long winter days.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice. Wood 2x6 framing is available on request and gives a deeper wall with more space for insulation, while wood 2x4 framing is the slimmer, familiar alternative. Both are traditional wood-frame construction, well known to builders across the US and Canada, so the decision comes down to the wall depth the owners prefer.
With 3635 ft² to work with, house plan 47834R gives a family a solid starting point: a large home whose foundation and wall framing can be settled according to their priorities before construction begins. The floor plan shows how this space is arranged, and the options above make it possible to adapt the structure without changing the character of the house.
