Plan 91640R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan in the cottage and French Country spirit, offering 1890 ft² beneath a hip and valley roof lifted by dormers. The single family home also borrows from English, European and Storybook design, and the result feels collected over time rather than drawn in one stroke. Stone/brick veneer, stucco and shakes/shingles layer the facade of the L-shaped house, which measures 54'8" wide and 67'8" deep and includes 3 full bathrooms and a half bath.
The main floor follows an open floor plan built around a center kitchen. A large kitchen with an island and a breakfast bar opens toward the breakfast nook, and a walk-in pantry keeps the counters clear for cooking. Beyond it lies the large family room, where a fireplace anchors the seating area and makes this a house plan with fireplace warmth on winter evenings. Vaulted ceilings give the interior extra height, and a home office provides a quiet place to work away from the kitchen and family room.
The owners' suite is a main floor master, set apart by a split bedroom layout so the other bedrooms keep their own privacy. It includes a walk-in closet and its own full bath, and two more full bathrooms serve the rest of the household, with a half bath for guests. The laundry is on the main floor, close to daily routines, while the bonus/flex room can become a playroom, a media room or a studio as the family grows.
Outside, a covered rear porch with an outdoor fireplace extends the living space into the fresh air, ready for long conversations after dinner. The 2-car garage has a rear entry, which keeps the front of the home calm and uncluttered, and offers space upstairs. The foundation is as shown on the plan; the design is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and 2×6 exterior walls can be specified on request.
