This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 66602R is a 3-bedroom, 2-story Craftsman house plan with 2240 ft², a hip & valley roof and a walkout basement that adds a full lower level to the home. Its American character shows in exterior walls that pair siding with stone/brick veneer, and in the large windows and panoramic windows that open the rooms to the views. The house measures 40'0" wide and 47'0" deep, and the exterior walls are framed in 2x6 wood, with 2x4 wood framing available on request.
The main floor follows an open floor plan built around a large family room with a fireplace, the natural place to gather on a winter evening. The large kitchen works for everyday cooking and casual meals alike: an island gives generous prep space, a breakfast bar seats the family for a quick bite, a breakfast nook offers a relaxed spot for morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight. Laundry on the main floor keeps one of the most frequent chores close to the kitchen and living areas, with no need to carry baskets up and down the stairs.
Three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and two half baths give everyone room and privacy. The master suite sits on the second floor, and the split bedrooms layout separates it from the other bedrooms, so parents and children each have their own quiet corner; a walk-in closet adds practical storage. Beyond the bedrooms, this plan is unusually rich in extra space: a media room for movie nights, an exercise room, a wine cellar, a bonus/flex room ready to serve as a home office, playroom or guest room, and a utility room for equipment and storage.
Outside, the home offers outdoor living on more than one level. Stacked porches, a balcony, a covered rear porch and a patio give the family places to read in the shade, host a summer dinner or simply enjoy the fresh air. A 2-car garage with front entry provides parking and room for bikes and tools. The house stands on a walkout basement, and the plan is also available with a slab or crawl space foundation. For a family looking for a house plan with walkout basement, generous living spaces and a timeless Craftsman look, this 3-bedroom 2-story design delivers 2240 ft² of thoughtfully arranged comfort.
