Plan 78053R is a 5-bedroom Craftsman house plan on three stories, offering 4886 ft² of living space under a hip and valley roof accented with dormers, with exterior walls of siding and stone/brick veneer. This Modern Craftsman single-family home has an American character and a layout made for a large household: four full bathrooms and a half bath, a split-bedroom arrangement and a bonus level upstairs. The house measures 64'2" wide and 60'8" deep.
The main living area follows an open floor plan. A large family room with a fireplace sits at the center of daily life and connects to the rear kitchen, which is generously sized and fitted with an island, a breakfast bar and a breakfast nook for quick meals. A walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight, so the island stays clear for cooking, homework or a casual dinner. On winter evenings, the fireplace draws everyone into the family room. A home office gives remote work a quiet place of its own, and a media room keeps movie nights and game days away from the kitchen.
The second floor master suite includes a walk-in closet and sits apart from the secondary bedrooms thanks to the split layout. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, and the laundry is on the second floor, close to the bedrooms where most of the washing begins. An in-law suite gives parents or long-term guests privacy, which makes this one of the more flexible 5 bedroom house plans for multigenerational living. A bonus room above the garage and the bonus level on the third story leave space for a playroom, a studio or a hobby room. A mudroom catches boots, coats and backpacks before they reach the living spaces.
The exterior gives the outdoors as much attention as the interior. A covered front porch and a wraparound porch give the facade its welcoming Craftsman look, while a screened porch and an outdoor fireplace extend relaxed evenings outside well beyond summer. The attached 2-car garage comes with front entry and side entry. 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 on request. 2×6 exterior walls are offered as an option too, which completes a house plan with fireplace, porches and room to grow for a family that needs space on every level.
