This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
House plan 93671R is a family house plan of 1501 ft², drawn for a year-round home in the country or the suburbs. The house is 38'0" wide and 59'0" deep, so it runs further back from the front facade than it spreads across it, a long, clear proportion. What sets this floor plan apart is the choice it leaves open: the foundation and the exterior wall framing are both selected for the build, so the same design can follow the way a family wants to construct its home.
Three foundations are available on request. A slab sets the house on a concrete base at ground level, with no space beneath the floors. A crawl space raises the floors slightly and leaves a low, reachable area underneath for pipes and ducts. A walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outside, which gives a family extra room for storage, hobbies or guests, and lets daylight in through that door.
The exterior walls are also available in two versions on request: wood 2x4 or wood 2x6 framing. Wood 2x4 is the classic choice of North American home building, while wood 2x6 makes a thicker wall with a deeper cavity for insulation, a quiet advantage on cold winter evenings.
Together, these options make plan 93671R a flexible starting point for a new home: 1501 ft² within a long footprint, with the foundation and the wall construction decided by the family before the work begins.
