This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 64620R is a 3-bedroom, 3-story house plan with a Mid Century and New American character, 2917 ft² of living space, a low-slope shed roof at a 2/12 (9.5°) pitch, and a V-shaped footprint that sets the wings at an angle to one another. Siding paired with stone/brick veneer gives the American single-family home a crisp, layered facade. The house measures 89'3" wide and 45'6" deep, with a height of 31'11", and it is framed with 2x6 wood walls, with 2x4 framing also available on request.
The main living areas follow a closed floor plan, so each room keeps its own shape and purpose. A proper entry receives guests before they reach the large family room, a generous space for gatherings, quiet reading or a long evening together. The large kitchen is built for real cooking and everyday family traffic: an island anchors the work zone, a breakfast bar seats a few for a quick meal, and a breakfast nook gives a calmer spot for slow mornings. A walk-in pantry keeps groceries and bulk supplies out of sight and close at hand.
The sleeping quarters are grouped as clustered bedrooms, with the second floor master placed near the other bedrooms, which suits families with young children. The master suite includes a walk-in closet, and the home offers 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom in total. Laundry on the second floor puts the washer and dryer right where the clothes are, and a separate utility room handles the mechanical needs of the house. An in-law suite gives grandparents or longer-staying guests their own private quarters, while the bonus/flex room can become a home office, playroom or hobby space as the family changes over the years.
Outside, the home rewards time spent in the open air. A covered front porch greets visitors, stacked porches layer outdoor living over more than one level, a balcony opens an upper floor to the view, and a screened porch offers a sheltered place for summer dinners. The front-entry 2-car garage includes space upstairs, ready for storage or a future room. The house stands on a slab foundation, and the plan is also available with a walkout basement or a crawl space.
