This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 65175R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan with a modern farmhouse look, 2170 ft² of living space, a steep hip and valley roof and siding on the exterior walls. New American and traditional influences shape the facade. The ridge runs parallel to the street, and the 12/12 roof pitch gives the home a tall, confident profile. The house measures 68'0" wide and 37'1" deep and stands 40'8" high. The exterior walls are framed in 2x6 wood, and 2x4 framing is available on request.
From the entry, an open floor plan leads into the family room, where a fireplace anchors the main living area and sets the mood on winter evenings. The large kitchen opens to this space and is built for both everyday cooking and gatherings. A breakfast bar handles quick meals, a breakfast nook suits slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. The plan includes 2 kitchens, which helps with multigenerational living or with hosting guests for longer stays. A media room gives the family a dedicated place for movies and game nights.
The bedrooms follow a split layout. The main floor master sits apart from the other bedrooms, which gives parents real privacy. A walk-in closet adds generous storage. Three full bathrooms and a half bath serve the four bedrooms and visitors, so busy mornings run without a line at the door. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a separate utility room keeps the mechanical side of the house in one place.
The home stands on a walkout basement, which opens the lower level directly to the outdoors and adds flexible space below the main floor. Slab and crawl space foundations are also available. An attached, front-entry 1-car garage gives sheltered parking right at the house. Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors, stacked porches bring outdoor living to two levels, and a balcony and a deck extend the home outward for warm summer evenings.
