Plan 15170R is a 3-bedroom two-story house plan with 2821 ft² of living space, drawn in the Acadian and Low Country tradition with a gable roof, dormers and a ridge parallel to the street. The L-shaped single-family home measures 79'0" wide and 71'4" deep, and its siding exterior gives the modern farmhouse look an easy Southern character. Inside are three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, so family and guests rarely wait their turn.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan where the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook share one generous space under vaulted ceilings. A fireplace anchors the family room, making this a house plan with fireplace warmth right where everyone gathers on winter evenings. The kitchen is built for everyday cooking and conversation: a central island for preparation, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies close at hand but out of sight. Mornings begin in the breakfast nook, and the open layout keeps whoever is cooking connected to the rest of the household.
The master suite is on the main floor, and the split bedroom layout places it away from the other bedrooms for real privacy. It includes a walk-in closet, while three full baths serve the bedrooms comfortably and two half baths look after visitors. The bonus/flex room adapts as the family changes, working as a playroom, a home office, a hobby space or a guest retreat. Dedicated storage keeps seasonal items and everyday gear organized, an advantage that makes this 3 bedroom house plan easy to live in all year.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors in true Louisiana fashion, and a covered rear porch extends the living area outdoors for long dinners and quiet afternoons. The attached two-car garage has a side entry, so the garage doors stay off the front facade and the porch and dormers lead the street view. This 2 story house plan has no basement as drawn and stands on the foundation as shown; a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation is also available on request, as are 2×6 exterior walls.
