Plan 74831R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan that blends European, French Country and Modern Tudor character into one refined family home of 3590 ft². A hip & valley roof caps the facade, while brick and siding give the exterior walls a layered, handsome texture. Large windows and a corner window open the elevations to daylight, and the overall footprint measures 62'4" wide and 64'6" deep. Transitional and New American details keep the look current rather than formal, making this a single-family home with lasting appeal.
The heart of the main level is an open floor plan built around the family room and the kitchen. The large family room gathers everyone around its fireplace, the natural spot for long winter evenings, and flows directly into a large kitchen set at the rear and center of the house. A central island and a breakfast bar give room for both cooking and casual meals, a breakfast nook offers a brighter place for morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies close at hand. From the kitchen, the covered rear porch and the deck extend everyday life outdoors.
All four bedrooms are clustered together, with the master suite on the second floor and its own walk-in closet. Four full bathrooms and a half bath mean that every member of the family and every guest has comfortable access. The laundry sits on the second floor, right where the bedrooms are, so laundry day no longer means carrying baskets up and down the stairs. The third story adds valuable space for the whole household: this house plan with a game room also includes a home office, a workshop and generous storage.
Outside, a front-entry two-car garage with space upstairs balances the facade and adds flexible square footage above. Stacked porches bring a graceful vertical rhythm to the exterior and give the upper level its own outdoor retreat. The house is built on the foundation as shown, and the plan is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement. The exterior wall framing follows the drawings as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available on request.
