This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 97577R is a 5-bedroom single-story house plan with a walkout basement, offering 1700 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof. Craftsman and Prairie lines, refined by a transitional touch, shape the facade of stone/brick veneer and stucco, and the house measures 42'8" wide and 71'0" deep. With three full bathrooms and a front-entry two-car garage, this single-family home keeps daily life on one level and gains more space below.
The main level follows an open floor plan built around the family room, where a fireplace anchors the seating area and sets the tone for quiet winter evenings. The plan uses a reverse-living idea, keeping the main gathering spaces up on the main floor above the walkout level. The large kitchen opens to the family room and works hard for a busy household: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight. Cooking, homework and conversation all happen within sight of one another.
The split bedrooms layout gives the owners real privacy. The main floor master sits apart from the other bedrooms and includes a walk-in closet, while two of the secondary bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, so mornings run without a line at the door. Five bedrooms and three full bathrooms leave room for children, guests or a home office. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a separate utility room handles the mechanical side of the house. For entertaining, the plan adds a media room and a wine cellar, giving this house plan with fireplace a second gathering space for movie nights and dinners with friends.
Outside, the house stands on a walkout basement; slab and crawl space foundations are also available on request. Exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing offered as an option. A covered front porch welcomes visitors, while a covered rear porch and stacked porches, together with a balcony, extend the living space outdoors on more than one level. The two-car garage extends forward with its front-entry doors, adding depth to the facade and keeping cars, bikes and storage close to the house.
