1.5-Story House Plan with Basement 2412 ft²: 5 Beds, Home Office, 3.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

House plan 77320R is a family home of 2412 ft², set on a footprint 44'0" wide and 69'0" deep and designed to be lived in all year round in the country or the suburbs. The floor plan is deeper than it is wide, which gives the house a long, confident shape from front to back. This is a generous residence rather than a small house plan, and it gives a family real room to settle in.

The most important choices for this house begin below the floor. The plan is available on request with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement, so the foundation can be selected to suit the family and the building site. A slab foundation keeps the home close to the ground and simple in its construction. A crawl space leaves accessible room under the floors for pipes and ducts, which makes later maintenance easier. A house plan with a walkout basement goes further: it adds a lower level with its own door to the outdoors, space that a family can make its own over the years.

The exterior walls offer the same freedom. Wood framing is available on request in 2x4 or 2x6. The 2x4 wall is a familiar standard of North American home building, while the 2x6 wall is thicker and leaves a deeper cavity for insulation, a sensible option for a house that stays warm through long winter evenings. Together, these options let house plan 77320R be prepared around the way its owners want to build, with the structure settled before the first shovel goes into the ground.
