This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 12065R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan that gives a large family room to spread out without losing a sense of order: 4500 ft² of living space under a gable and hip-and-valley roof, with brick exterior walls and an L-shaped footprint. The design draws on Colonial, French Country and European traditions and pairs them with a New American layout, so from the street it reads as a true luxury mansion. The house measures 79'8" wide and 86'9" deep. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 2 half baths, this single family home is planned for everyday routines as much as for hosting.
A portico frames the entry and leads into an open floor plan. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace and opens toward the kitchen, so conversation carries easily between the two. The large kitchen is built for real use: a central island for prep, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. A separate sitting area offers a quieter corner when the rest of the house is busy, and on winter evenings the fire becomes its natural gathering point.
The master suite is on the main floor, with a walk-in closet, and the split bedroom layout sets it apart from the other bedrooms for privacy. The remaining bedrooms are clustered together, which suits children or guests who share a hall. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs. A home office, an exercise room and dedicated storage rooms cover work, fitness and the gear every household collects. Above the garage, a bonus room works as a flex room: a playroom, a media room or a studio, as the family needs change.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors and a covered rear porch extends living into the open air. The 4-car side-entry garage with space upstairs keeps the garage doors off the main facade and preserves the clean lines of the brick front. The foundation is built as shown in the plans; the house is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement, and the exterior walls can be upgraded to 2×6 framing.
