This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
House plan 98631R is a spacious family house plan of 2606 ft², with an outer footprint 43'0" wide and 58'0" deep. These proportions create a home that is noticeably deeper than it is wide, with a measured front elevation and living space that extends toward the back. It is designed as a year-round residence for the country or the suburbs, a house to settle into for many seasons rather than a place for short stays.
One of the strengths of this floor plan is the choice it leaves open beneath the house. A basement is not part of the base design, but the home is available on request with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A slab keeps the house close to the ground, while a crawl space leaves access to the pipes and ducts under the floor. For families who want more room, a house plan with a walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outdoors, ready for morning light and easy trips outside.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice, with wood 2x4 or wood 2x6 framing available on request. The 2x4 option gives a slimmer wall, while 2x6 framing has a deeper cavity with more space for insulation, a welcome quality on winter evenings. Taken together, these options let a family shape the structure of this 2606 ft² home around the way they plan to build and live in it.
