This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 71440R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with a walkout basement, offering 1603 ft² of living space under a hip and valley roof accented by dormers. Its Craftsman character mixes with Mountain, Lake and New American influences, and the exterior combines stone/brick veneer with stucco for a traditional American look. The house measures 49'0" wide and 60'6" deep, and its exterior walls are framed in 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing also available on request.
From the entry, the home opens into an open floor plan built around a large family room with a fireplace and vaulted ceilings. Large windows bring daylight deep into the main living area, and on winter evenings the fireplace becomes the natural gathering point. The large kitchen is made for everyday cooking and for company at the same time: an island and a breakfast bar give room to prepare food and serve it, a breakfast nook offers a relaxed spot for morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. The covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors.
The main floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, and the split bedroom layout separates it from the two secondary bedrooms for more privacy. With three full bathrooms, every bedroom has easy access to a bath, which suits families and frequent guests alike. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs. The plan also includes a home office for remote work, a media room for movie nights, a utility room and dedicated storage, so the house stays organized as daily life grows busier.
The house stands on a walkout basement; a slab or crawl space foundation is also available on request. The front entry 2-car garage extends forward, attached to the house and giving direct shelter for cars and gear. At the back, stacked porches bring outdoor living to both levels, combining the covered rear porch, a balcony and a patio, ideal for summer dinners and quiet evenings outside. For a family looking for a one-story home with a full lower level, this Craftsman house plan delivers generous rooms, practical storage and a strong connection to the outdoors.
