This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 79515R is a 2-bedroom, 2-story house plan with 3050 ft² of living space, styled as a modern farmhouse with a strong Southern and Country accent. A hip-and-valley roof with dormers crowns the house, and siding wraps the exterior walls. This L-shaped single-family home measures 66'0" wide and 48'0" deep, and its roof ridge runs parallel to the street, so the long front elevation reads as calm and welcoming from the road.
The heart of the plan is an open floor plan that ties the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook into one generous space. The large family room rises under vaulted ceilings and gathers around a fireplace, the natural place to settle in on a winter evening. The center kitchen sits toward the rear of the house and is built for real cooking: a large island with a breakfast bar, plenty of counter space and a walk-in pantry for bulk supplies. The breakfast nook beside it gives the family an easy spot for weekday meals, while guests can linger at the bar during a gathering. For anyone looking for an open concept house plan with a fireplace, this layout delivers both without losing a sense of order.
A split bedroom arrangement keeps the private rooms apart. The main floor master suite has its own walk-in closet, while the second bedroom sits on the opposite side of the home, which suits guests, an older child or a relative who values privacy. Three full bathrooms mean no one has to share at the busiest hour of the morning. A home office on the main level makes remote work practical, and the utility room holds the laundry on the main floor along with useful storage. Upstairs, a bonus room above the garage serves as a flex room for a playroom, a studio, a gym or overflow guest space.
Outside, the house is designed for time on the porch: a wraparound porch and a covered front porch frame the facade, a screened porch offers bug-free summer evenings, and a deck extends the living space outdoors. The attached 3-car garage with a side entry keeps the doors off the main elevation and carries the bonus room overhead. The plan has no basement; the foundation is as shown in the drawings, and the house is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement foundation on request. 2×6 exterior walls are available as an option as well.
