Plan 85530R is a 6-bedroom 2-story house plan that blends European, French Country and Tudor character with a transitional, modern Tudor sensibility. Its 4620 ft² sit beneath a hip and valley roof accented with dormers, with the ridge running parallel to the street, while brick and stone/brick veneer give the facade a solid, timeless presence. The footprint measures 68'0" wide and 75'8" deep, and the home includes 5 full bathrooms, one half bath and an attached 3-car garage.
The heart of the main floor is an open floor plan built around a center kitchen. The large kitchen works hard and entertains easily: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies organized and out of sight. It opens to a large family room where a fireplace anchors the seating area, making this a true house plan with fireplace for gatherings on cold evenings. A media room adds a second place to unwind, so movie night never competes with conversation in the family room.
The main floor master gives the owners single-level living, and the split bedrooms layout keeps the suite apart from the other bedrooms for quiet and privacy. The master includes a walk-in closet, and with five full baths the remaining bedrooms are generously served, whether they host children, grandparents or guests. Everyday routines stay simple thanks to a mudroom, laundry on the main floor and dedicated storage. A bonus room above the garage serves as a flex room for a home office, gym, playroom or guest quarters.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors, while the screened porch with an outdoor fireplace extends the living space into the seasons when you want fresh air without the bugs. The 3-car garage features both front entry and side entry, offering flexibility in how the home meets the driveway. The foundation is as shown in the plans, and the design is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation on request. Exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available as an option.
