This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
House plan 64826R describes a family home of 1970 ft², designed for year-round living in the country or the suburbs and measuring 53'0" wide and 84'0" deep. The house is noticeably deeper than it is wide, so its long form extends from the front of the home toward the back. It is a generous size for everyday family life, and the construction can be adapted through several options available on request.
The base plan does not include a basement, and the foundation can be selected to suit the needs of the household. A slab foundation is available and keeps the structure close to the ground. A crawl space foundation is also offered, leaving an accessible area beneath the floors for pipes and ducts. For those who want more usable space, this can also become a house plan with a walkout basement, adding a lower level with its own door to the outdoors, ready for storage, hobbies or quiet evenings away from the main floor.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice. Wood 2x4 framing is available as a familiar, time-tested method of building a home. Wood 2x6 framing is available too, and its deeper wall cavity leaves more room for insulation, a welcome detail on cold winter nights.
Together, these options let a family shape the structure of the house before construction begins, from the foundation to the framing of the walls. With 1970 ft² and a clear 53'0" by 84'0" outline, plan 64826R gives a solid starting point for a lasting home.
