This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 97172R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan of 1634 ft², set over a walkout basement and sheltered by a hip and valley roof. Its Modern Craftsman look takes cues from the Prairie tradition and classic American design. Siding is paired with stone/brick veneer, covered porches stretch across the front and the back, and an attached 2-car front-entry garage completes the façade. The house measures 52'0" wide and 48'8" deep, a single-family home planned for everyday comfort on one level.
The interior follows a closed floor plan, so each room keeps its own shape and purpose instead of dissolving into one open space. The large family room is the heart of the home, anchored by a fireplace that makes this a true house plan with fireplace for long winter evenings. At the center of the plan sits a large kitchen with a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, a breakfast nook for slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight. Because the kitchen is placed centrally, it stays close to the family room, the bedrooms and the garage entry alike.
Bedrooms follow a split bedroom floor plan. The main floor master sits apart from the two secondary bedrooms, giving the owners a quiet retreat while children or guests have their own wing. Two full bathrooms serve the sleeping areas, and a half bathroom is ready for visitors without sending them down the bedroom hall. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a utility room and generous storage handle the practical side of family life. The plan also includes a home office for remote work, a media room for movie nights and a wine cellar for a growing collection.
The main foundation is a walkout basement, which lets the lower level open directly to the outdoors; the plan is also available with a slab or a crawl space foundation on request. Exterior walls are framed in 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing offered as an option. The covered front porch welcomes guests in any weather, while the covered rear porch extends living space outside for summer dinners and quiet evenings. For anyone looking for a Craftsman house plan with a walkout basement, a two-car garage and everything important on one floor, this design offers a well-balanced, practical layout with real character.
