Plan 82521R is a 4-bedroom three-story house plan that brings Craftsman detailing and modern farmhouse character together across 3744 ft² of living space, sheltered by a gable and hip-and-valley roof with the ridge parallel to the street. Siding, brick and shakes/shingles on the exterior walls give this traditional American country home a layered, welcoming face. The footprint measures 66'11" wide and 70'0" deep, with four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a half bath.
The heart of the main floor is an open floor plan built around a large family room with a fireplace, a gathering space generous enough for both quiet evenings and full holiday tables. It flows into a large center kitchen with a working island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a breakfast nook for slower mornings. A walk-in pantry keeps supplies close at hand and the counters clear. For anyone who works from home, the plan includes a dedicated home office, away from the bustle of the kitchen.
The master suite sits on the main floor, so everyday living can stay on one level, and its walk-in closet adds real storage. A split bedroom layout places the master apart from the other bedrooms, giving parents and children their own privacy. Three full bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, while the half bath handles guests without sending them through private areas. Laundry on the main floor and a mudroom near the everyday entry keep coats, boots and muddy shoes from ever reaching the living spaces, which is exactly what a busy family needs.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors, and a screened porch offers a comfortable place to sit outdoors on summer nights without the insects. The attached 2-car garage extends forward and has a side entry, so the doors stay out of sight and the front elevation keeps its clean, traditional lines. The house is drawn on the foundation as shown and has no basement in the standard design, but it is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement on request. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2x6 exterior walls available as an option for those who want thicker walls.
