Plan 74644R is a 4-bedroom 2 story house plan of 3198 ft² that brings modern farmhouse character to an L-shaped footprint under a hip & valley roof. Siding paired with stone/brick veneer gives the facade depth, and the home blends Country, New American and Southern influences into one relaxed, refined American design. The outer dimensions are 80'8" wide and 78'0" deep, with 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan built around a large family room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, the place where winter evenings naturally gather everyone together. The large rear kitchen opens to it directly, with an island and a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, a breakfast nook for slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight. A home office on the plan gives remote work or homework a quiet corner of its own.
The main floor master suite stands apart from the other bedrooms in a split-bedroom layout, which gives parents privacy and children their own territory. The master includes a walk-in closet, while two of the secondary bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a mudroom catches boots, backpacks and coats before they reach the living spaces. Above the garage, a bonus room works as a playroom, guest space, gym or flex room as the family's needs change.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes guests, and a screened porch and a deck extend everyday living into the open air in every season. The attached 3-car garage combines front entry and side entry bays in a forward extension, adding storage without dominating the facade. The house is built on the foundation as shown, and it is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, as well as with 2×6 exterior walls on request.
