1.5-Story House Plan with Basement 3175 ft²: 4 Beds, Home Office, 5.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

Plan 70856R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan that brings Acadian, Cape Cod and Low Country character together in a brick Southern home of 3175 ft². A gable roof with dormers runs with its ridge parallel to the street, giving the front the balanced, unhurried profile of a classic American cottage. The house measures 41'0" wide and 50'0" deep, is drawn for a sloped lot, and adds a basement below the two living floors. Four bedrooms share five full bathrooms and a half bath, so nobody waits in line on a busy morning.

The open floor plan is built around a large family room with vaulted ceilings, where a fireplace and a sitting area make the natural gathering spot on winter evenings. The center kitchen keeps the cook part of the conversation, with a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower ones and a walk-in pantry that keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight. A home office gives remote work or homework a door that closes.

The master suite sits on the main floor, and the split bedrooms layout keeps it apart from the other three bedrooms for real privacy. The suite includes a walk-in closet, and with five full bathrooms every bedroom can have its own. The laundry is on the second floor, so clean clothes never travel far. A bonus/flex room and a game room give children, teenagers or guests space of their own, while a utility room and generous storage handle the practical side of family life.

Outside, stacked porches layer a covered front porch and a covered rear porch, and a patio extends the living space further into the yard. An outdoor fireplace and a 2-sided fireplace let the porch season stretch well into the cool months. The 2-car garage is a drive-under, rear-entry design, which keeps garage doors off the street facade and lets the brick front speak for itself. The house stands on the foundation as shown, with a basement; it is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab or a stem wall foundation, and 2x6 exterior walls can be specified on request.
