This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 15905R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan with a walkout basement, offering 1661 ft² of living space under a Hip & Valley roof, with styling that blends European and American influences. Stone/Brick Veneer and Stucco cover the exterior walls, which are framed in Wood 2x6; Wood 2x4 framing is also available on request. This single family home measures 40'0" wide and 64'0" deep, with three full bathrooms and a 2-car garage.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan that joins the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook into one generous space. A fireplace in the family room anchors the gathering area and is the obvious place to settle on a winter evening. Large windows and panoramic windows bring daylight deep into the rooms. The kitchen is built for both everyday cooking and company: a central island gives plenty of prep space, a breakfast bar handles quick meals and conversation, and the nook leaves room for unhurried weekend breakfasts. The reverse living layout keeps the main daytime rooms on the upper level, above the walkout basement.
The master suite is on the main floor, and the bedrooms are clustered so the sleeping quarters stay close together and away from the busier living areas. The three full bathrooms keep mornings moving for a family of four or more. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a separate utility room keeps the mechanical side of the house out of sight. There is a defined entry for coats and bags. The plan also includes a media room for movie nights, a bonus/flex room that can serve as an office, playroom or guest room, and a wine cellar/room for a growing collection.
The exterior has as much to offer as the interior. A covered front porch greets guests. The front entry 2-car garage extends forward of the main facade, so the cars and storage stay out of the living space. At the back, a covered rear porch, stacked porches, a balcony and a deck give the family several places to eat, read or watch the evening light outdoors. The home stands on a walkout basement, and the plan is also available with a slab or crawl space foundation.
