1.5-Story House Plan 2506 ft²: 3 Beds, 2.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 78316R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with a modern farmhouse look and Country, Craftsman and Southern roots, offering 2506 ft² of living space beneath a roofline that combines gables, hip-and-valley sections and dormers. The ridge runs parallel to the street, so the front of the house reads broad and welcoming at 59'8" wide and 51'4" deep. Siding paired with stone/brick veneer gives the exterior its Low Country and classic American character, and inside, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath make this single family home easy to live in every day.

The heart of the floor plan is an open layout that ties the large family room to the large kitchen without walls in between. A fireplace anchors the family room and gives the main gathering space a natural focal point on winter evenings. The center kitchen is arranged around an island, with a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation while dinner is under way. A breakfast nook offers a quieter spot for morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, so the open floor plan stays tidy.

The main floor master suite gives the owners a private retreat on the same level as the living spaces, with a walk-in closet for generous storage. The secondary bedrooms are clustered together and share a Jack & Jill bath, a practical arrangement for children or guests that gives each room its own access to the bathroom. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, the half bath serves visitors, and a bonus/flex room adapts to whatever the family needs: a home office, a playroom, a media room or a hobby space.

Outdoor living is one of the strongest features of this house plan with a wraparound porch. The porch wraps the front of the home in classic Southern fashion, a covered rear porch extends the living area toward the backyard, and a screened porch offers comfortable evenings outside, sheltered from insects. The foundation is as shown in the plans; on request the design is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement, and with 2×6 exterior walls for those who prefer thicker framing.
