This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 66191R is a 4-bedroom three-story house plan with country, traditional and American roots and a modern farmhouse look, offering 8514 ft² beneath a hip & valley roof with dormers. The 10/12 pitch gives the rooflines a steep, graceful profile, and the exterior walls pair siding with stone/brick veneer. This L-shaped single family home measures 80'2" wide, 77'6" deep and 42'7" high, with 4 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom spread across its three levels.
From the entry, the open floor plan leads straight into a large family room where a fireplace anchors the seating area, which makes this a true house plan with fireplace for long winter evenings. The family room is open to below, so the space feels tall and airy, and a loft adds another spot to read or play. The large kitchen works as the center of daily life: an island for preparing meals, a breakfast bar for quick bites, a breakfast nook for slow mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies close at hand.
The main floor master gives the owners a private retreat on the ground level, complete with a walk-in closet and laundry access from the master suite, a rare convenience in a 4 bedroom house plan. The laundry on the main floor sits alongside a utility room. The other bedrooms are clustered together and share a Jack & Jill bath, while an in-law suite gives visiting parents or older children their own comfortable quarters. For leisure there is a media room for movie nights and an exercise room, and a bonus/flex room plus a bonus room above the garage leave space for a home office, a hobby room or a playroom.
Outside, a wraparound porch, a covered front porch and a covered side porch extend the living space, and a balcony opens the upper level to fresh air. The courtyard entry 2-car garage with upstairs space keeps the front elevation tidy. The house stands on a crawl space foundation and is also available with a slab or a walkout basement. The exterior walls are framed with wood 2x6, with wood 2x4 framing available on request.
