This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 63763R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan of 1706 ft², designed as a modern farmhouse with the low, relaxed lines of a ranch and a roof that combines gables with hip and valley sections. The ridge runs parallel to the street, and siding wraps the exterior walls, giving the front an unhurried American country character. The house measures 63'0" wide and 48'0" deep, with every room on one level for a single family that prefers daily life without stairs.
Past the entry, an open floor plan unfolds around a large family room that flows directly into a large kitchen. The island is the working heart of the space, and its breakfast bar lets one person cook while another sits nearby with coffee or homework. A breakfast nook offers an easy place for weekday meals, and the walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, so the counters stay clear. On winter evenings the kitchen and the family room feel like one warm room, with no walls between the people in them.
The split bedroom layout puts the main floor master on its own side of the house, apart from the two secondary bedrooms. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, and two full bathrooms serve the sleeping areas and guests. Laundry on the main floor is set in the utility room, close to everyday routines, while a separate storage room takes seasonal items, sports gear and everything else a household gathers over the years.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors and a covered rear porch extends the living space for quiet mornings and long summer dinners. The front-entry garage for 2 cars projects forward of the main facade and frames the approach to the door. The foundation is drawn as shown on the plans, and the design is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement, as well as with 2×6 exterior walls, on request. For a family looking for a one-story house plan with a 2-car garage, generous shared rooms and real storage, 63763R offers a balanced, comfortable layout of 1706 ft².
