This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 16819R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with a walkout basement, offering 1603 ft² of living space in a Modern Mountain design with crisp contemporary lines and a double shed roof. The house measures 49'0" wide and 60'6" deep, and its facade combines siding, stone/brick veneer and stucco, with large windows that draw daylight deep into the rooms. This modern American single family home includes 3 full bathrooms and is built with 2x6 wood exterior walls, with 2x4 framing also available on request.
The layout follows a reverse living idea: the main living spaces sit on the upper level, above the walkout basement. A defined entry opens into an open floor plan where the large family room takes center stage. Its fireplace makes it the natural gathering place, warm and calm on a winter evening. The family room flows straight into a large kitchen planned around an island. A breakfast bar handles quick meals, and a breakfast nook offers a slower spot for morning coffee. A walk-in pantry keeps supplies close at hand but out of sight, so the open concept space stays tidy.
The master suite is on the main floor, with a generous walk-in closet, and the split bedroom arrangement places the two secondary bedrooms away from it, giving parents and children their own quiet zones. Three full bathrooms mean that mornings run smoothly even when the whole family is getting ready at once. A home office supports remote work, while a media room turns movie nights into an event. The practical rooms are well thought out: laundry on the main floor, a separate utility room and dedicated storage keep everyday chores organized.
Outside, the house stands on a walkout basement, and the plan is also available with a slab or a crawl space foundation. The front entry 2-car garage extends forward of the house, creating a sheltered approach to the covered front porch. At the back, stacked porches pair a covered rear porch with a balcony, and a patio adds another place for meals and conversations outdoors. For a family looking for a 3 bedroom house plan with a fireplace, a flexible office and a strong connection to the outdoors, 16819R brings it together under one striking roofline.
