This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 52970R is a family house plan of 1869 ft², a year-round home with a long, deep footprint, 31'0" wide and 69'0" deep, offered with a choice of foundations and wood wall framing. The proportions are its defining feature: the house is more than twice as deep as it is wide, so it extends back from a compact front facade instead of spreading sideways.
That shape sets the rhythm of the home, with the living space unfolding along its length. At 1869 ft², this is a moderately sized house for a family, substantial enough for everyday life and for quiet evenings together, yet measured in scale. The floor plan itself is the best guide to how the rooms are arranged and how the home would suit your household.
The basic plan does not include a basement, and the foundation can be chosen to suit the build. The house is available on request with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A slab foundation keeps the floor close to the ground, a crawl space leaves room beneath the floor for pipes and ducts, and a walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outdoors, a useful option for a family that wants extra space for storage or hobbies.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice, with wood 2x4 or wood 2x6 framing available on request. A 2x6 wall has a deeper cavity and leaves more room for insulation, which is worth weighing for a house that will be lived in through every season, while 2x4 framing is the familiar standard of North American home building. Together, these options make this house plan with a walkout basement option, or a simpler slab or crawl space version, easy to shape around the way you want to build.
