1-Story House Plan with Basement 2109 ft²: 4 Beds, Home Office, 4 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

Plan 48796R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan that pairs Cape Cod proportions with Craftsman detailing, offering 2109 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof lifted by dormers. Shakes and shingles cover the exterior walls, giving this Shingle-style home a relaxed, rustic character drawn from American country architecture. The house measures 68'8" wide and 48'8" deep, and a full basement adds space below the main level for a growing family.

A portico and entry lead into an open floor plan built around a large family room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace. On a winter evening, this is where everyone gathers. The family room flows into a large kitchen designed for real cooking and easy company: a central island anchors the workspace, a breakfast bar handles quick meals, and a breakfast nook offers a quieter spot for morning coffee. A walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight. Large windows bring daylight deep into the shared rooms. Beyond the main living area, a media room sets the stage for movie nights, and a home office gives remote work a dedicated, quiet place.

The split bedroom layout keeps the master suite apart from the secondary bedrooms, so parents and children each have their own wing. The main floor master and a walk-in closet make single-level living practical for the long term, while two of the other bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. With four full bathrooms in total, mornings run smoothly even when guests stay over. Everyday logistics are handled well: laundry on the main floor, a mudroom that catches boots and backpacks at the door, and a workshop for hobbies and home projects.

Outdoors, the house offers a generous mix of sheltered spaces. A covered front porch welcomes visitors, a covered rear porch extends the living area toward the yard, and a screened porch makes summer evenings comfortable. Stacked porches add a second layer of outdoor room. The 2-car detached garage has a courtyard entry and connects to the house by a breezeway, keeping the facade clean while the walk to the car stays covered. The foundation is as shown in the plans and is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab or stem wall; 2×6 exterior walls are available on request.
