This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 70500R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with Mediterranean character, offering 1207 ft² of living space beneath a hip & valley roof and stucco exterior walls. Spanish and Tuscan details meet a Southwest sensibility in this single family home, which measures 44'0" wide and 75'4" deep and stands on a walkout basement that adds a full lower level beneath the main floor. The exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing also available on request.
The entry leads into an open floor plan where the family room, the dining area and the kitchen share one continuous space. A fireplace anchors the family room and becomes the natural gathering point on cool evenings. The large kitchen is built for real cooking: a central island gives generous prep surface, while a breakfast bar seats children doing homework or friends chatting as dinner comes together. The reverse living layout keeps the everyday rooms on the upper, main level, where they open to the porches and the balcony. A media room and a wine cellar round out the entertaining spaces, so movie nights and a growing collection of bottles each have a dedicated place.
Split bedrooms give everyone privacy. The main floor master sits apart from the two secondary bedrooms and includes a walk-in closet, and the house offers two full bathrooms plus a half bath for guests. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a separate utility room keeps mechanical equipment and household supplies neatly out of sight.
Outside, this Mediterranean house plan lives as generously as it does indoors. A covered front porch welcomes visitors, a covered rear porch and a covered side porch extend the living space in three directions, and stacked porches pair with a balcony for open-air mornings on more than one level. A courtyard adds a sheltered outdoor room in true Tuscan fashion. The attached, front entry 2-car garage gives direct access to the home. The walkout basement is the standard foundation, and the plan is also available with a slab or a crawl space foundation.
