Plan 88745R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan in the modern farmhouse style, with 3750 ft² of living space under a hip & valley roof and behind siding walls. This single-family home has American country character, 3 full bathrooms, a half bath and an attached two-car garage, and it measures 81'8" wide and 68'6" deep. Large windows, including floor-to-ceiling glass, open the main rooms to daylight.
The open floor plan centers on a large family room with a fireplace and vaulted ceilings. Part of the room is open to below, so the loft on the upper level looks down into the main gathering space and the house feels tall and airy from the moment you step in. The large kitchen is planned for both busy mornings and long dinners with guests: an island, a breakfast bar and a breakfast nook give three places to sit, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight. With this open concept, whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation by the fire.
The master suite sits on the main floor, and the split bedrooms layout keeps it apart from the other three bedrooms for real privacy. Two of the secondary bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, and a walk-in closet adds generous storage. Daily routines run smoothly thanks to the entry, a mudroom and laundry on the main floor. Upstairs, the loft and a bonus room above the garage can become a playroom, a home office or a guest retreat, while a dedicated exercise room means workouts happen at home.
Outdoor living is a strong point of this house plan with a wraparound porch: together with the covered front porch and the covered rear porch, it offers sheltered space for morning coffee or quiet summer evenings. The attached garage has a front entry and room for two cars. The house has no basement and is drawn on the foundation as shown; it is also available on request with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and with 2×6 exterior walls.
