This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 61954R is a 5-bedroom 3-story house plan with 2797 ft² of living space, a New American and Modern Craftsman design with a Traditional American character. A hip and valley roof crowns the home, its ridge set perpendicular to the street, while siding, stone/brick veneer and shakes/shingles give the facade depth and texture. The house measures 41'4" wide and 56'8" deep, and the walls are framed in wood 2x6, with wood 2x4 framing also available on request.
The heart of the plan is an open floor plan that ties the family room, the dining space and the kitchen into one generous living area. A fireplace anchors the family room, making this a house plan with fireplace that feels just as right on a winter evening as on a summer afternoon. The large kitchen is built around an island and a breakfast bar, with a breakfast nook for slow weekend mornings. A reverse living layout lifts much of the everyday living space to an upper level, and a sitting area and a media room add places to read, talk or gather for a movie night.
The main floor master gives the owners a private retreat with a walk-in closet and easy access to the rest of the home. The other bedrooms are clustered together, so children or guests stay close to one another, and three full bathrooms serve all five bedrooms comfortably. Practical rooms are well thought out: the entry welcomes you in, the laundry is on the main floor, and a separate utility room keeps the technical equipment out of sight.
Outside, the home stands on a slab foundation and is also available with a walkout basement or a crawl space. A front-entry 2-car garage with space upstairs offers parking, storage and room to grow. Stacked porches define the elevation: a covered front porch greets visitors, a covered rear porch extends the living area outdoors, and a balcony and a deck invite you to take your coffee out into the fresh air.
