This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 81848R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan that gives a single family home of 4195 ft² the poise of Georgian and Colonial architecture, finished in brick and crowned by a hip & valley roof with a 6/12 pitch. Classical symmetry and a touch of Southern hospitality shape the facade, where a portico frames the front entry. The house is 58'7" wide and 60'11" deep, with a height of 29'7", and it holds 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and a half bath, laid out for a household that values both gathering space and privacy.
The main living area follows an open floor plan, so the family room, kitchen and breakfast nook read as one connected space. The large family room is open to below, its volume rising toward the upper floor, and a fireplace makes it the natural place to settle in on a cold evening. This is a house plan with fireplace and kitchen working side by side: the large kitchen centers on an island, adds a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, and keeps groceries in order with a walk-in pantry. The breakfast nook takes the slower mornings, while a home office offers a quiet room for work or study, away from the activity of the kitchen.
The second floor master suite gives the owners a retreat with a walk-in closet, and the bedrooms are clustered nearby, which keeps the family close together at night. The laundry sits on the second floor too, right where the clothes are, saving trips up and down the stairs. A bonus/flex room adds the kind of space every growing family finds a use for, whether as a playroom, a media room, a gym or a guest corner.
The home stands on a slab foundation and is also available with a walkout basement or a crawl space; the exterior walls are framed in wood 2x4, with wood 2x6 framing offered as an option. The 3-car garage has a side entry, which keeps the brick facade clean and formal, and its upstairs adds valuable extra space above the cars. Outdoors, a deck extends the living area into the yard, a balcony offers a private outlook from above, and the portico welcomes guests in true classic style.
