Plan 96187R is a 5-bedroom 3-story house plan with 3568 ft² of living space, a New American take on the modern farmhouse look, and a hip & valley roof. Siding and brick on the exterior give this single-family home a classic American face that is both crisp and welcoming. The house is 29'0" wide and 58'8" deep, and its five bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half bathroom are spread over three levels, giving a large household plenty of room.
The main level is an open floor plan where the family room, the dining area and the kitchen flow into one another. The large family room is the gathering place of the house. It is anchored by a fireplace and opened to the floor above, so the space feels tall and airy, and on winter evenings the fire becomes the natural center of family life. The large center kitchen sits in the middle of everything, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. An island with a breakfast bar handles quick breakfasts, homework and casual meals, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight and the counters clear.
On the second floor, the master suite gives the owners a private retreat, and the split bedrooms layout keeps it apart from the other bedrooms for quiet and privacy. A walk-in closet adds generous storage. Three full bathrooms make busy mornings easier for the whole family, while the half bathroom serves guests. The laundry is also on the second floor, close to the bedrooms and closets, so baskets no longer travel up and down the stairs. With three stories in total, children, guests and work-from-home routines can each have their own corner of the house.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors and a covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners and slow mornings with coffee. The house stands on the foundation as shown in the drawings, and it is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement on request. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available as an option. For a family looking for a modern farmhouse with a fireplace, an open kitchen and a second floor master, this house plan combines comfort and character in a well-organized design.
