Plan 89710R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan with a modern farmhouse look, combining New American proportions with a hip and valley roof, a row of dormers and an exterior clad in siding. It offers 4163 ft² of living space across two floors and measures 87'0" wide and 58'0" deep. This single-family home includes 4 full bathrooms and a half bath, a two-car garage and an in-law suite, which makes it a practical choice for a large or multigenerational family.
The main floor follows an open floor plan that ties the large family room and the large kitchen into one generous space. The fireplace in the family room anchors the seating area and stays in view from the kitchen, so on winter evenings the whole household gathers around it. The kitchen centers on an island with a breakfast bar for quick meals, while a breakfast nook offers a calmer spot for morning coffee. A walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. Beyond the living area, a sunroom brings in daylight from several sides, and a home office provides a quiet, separate room for remote work or study.
The master suite sits on the main floor, with a walk-in closet and direct access to the laundry room, a convenience that saves many steps on busy days. The bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private side of the house compact and easy to move through. The in-law suite gives parents, adult children or long-term guests their own retreat with comfort and privacy. With four full bathrooms, no one has to wait in the morning, and the half bath serves visitors near the living spaces. A utility room and dedicated storage keep the house organized, and the laundry on the main floor means no carrying baskets up and down the stairs.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes guests, and a covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors with its own outdoor fireplace for cool evenings. The attached 2-car garage has a side entry, so the garage doors face away from the street and the front of the house stays clean and elegant. Above the garage, a bonus room adds flexible space for a playroom, a gym or a hobby room. The house plan has no basement as drawn and is built on the foundation shown in the plans; it is also available on request with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and with 2×6 exterior walls.
