2-Storey House Plan with Bonus Room, 4 Beds and 2-Car Garage
This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 55519R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan that blends Bungalow, European and Transitional character with clean, contemporary lines, offering 1583 ft² of living space under a hip & valley roof with an 8/12 (34°) pitch. This L-shaped single-family home measures 43'3" wide and 47'1" deep, with a height of 23'6". Wood, stucco and natural stone share the exterior walls and give the facade a layered, modern texture, while a skylight draws daylight deeper into the interior.
Beyond the entry, an open floor plan joins the main living areas into one connected space. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace, a natural gathering point on winter evenings, and flows directly toward the kitchen. There, a breakfast nook sits beside a corner window, so everyday meals come with views in two directions, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and the counters clear. For families looking for an open concept house plan with fireplace, this layout keeps cooking, dining and relaxing within sight of each other while every zone keeps its own purpose.
The master suite is located on the main floor, and the split bedrooms arrangement sets it apart from the other bedrooms for quiet and privacy. Two full bathrooms and a half bath serve both the household and guests without morning lineups. Upstairs, the bonus room above the garage works as a true flex room: a playroom, a home office, a hobby space or a retreat for visiting relatives. A utility room and dedicated storage take care of laundry, cleaning supplies and seasonal items, so the living spaces stay uncluttered.
Outside, the 2-car garage with front entry extends forward of the main body of the house and defines its L-shaped footprint. A covered side porch offers a sheltered spot for a morning coffee, and a deck extends living outdoors for summer dinners and weekend gatherings. Built without a basement, this 4 bedroom house plan keeps the master on the main level, adds flexible space above the garage and wraps it all in a refined mix of stone, stucco and wood.
