Home design 21252R is a 3-bedroom, 3-storey house plan offering 3154 ft² beneath a gable and hip & valley roof, its main ridge set parallel to the street, with siding walls and a modern farmhouse character. Country, traditional, American and Modern Craftsman influences shape the façade of this single-family home, which measures 58'0" wide and 65'3" deep. A portico frames the entrance and leads onto a covered front porch, while a corner window gives the elevation a distinctive accent and pulls daylight in from two sides.
The private side of the house is on the second floor, where the master suite and the other bedrooms are clustered together so the whole family sleeps close by. The suite includes a walk-in closet and connects directly to the laundry room, which turns washing and folding into a few steps instead of a trip across the house. Three full bathrooms and a half bath serve the household, keeping morning routines calm even when everyone is getting ready at once. Over the garage, a bonus/flex room waits to become a playroom, a hobby studio or a spare room for visiting relatives, making this 3-storey house plan easy to adapt over the years.
On the main living level, an open floor plan unites the kitchen with a large family room centred on a fireplace, a natural spot for movie nights and quiet evenings by the fire. The rear kitchen is spacious and well equipped: an island with a breakfast bar handles casual meals and after-school snacks, a breakfast nook suits slower weekend mornings, and a walk-in pantry stores bulk groceries out of view. A dedicated home office gives remote work, homework or household paperwork a place of its own, apart from the busier shared rooms. For families comparing house plans Canada-wide, this house plan with fireplace and flexible space offers a practical balance of togetherness and privacy.
The attached 2-car garage is front entry and supports the bonus room above it, keeping vehicles, bikes and seasonal gear close to the house. At the back, a covered rear porch extends daily life outdoors for summer dinners and relaxed afternoons. The house is drawn on the foundation as shown in the plans, and crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall and basement foundations are available on request, along with the option of 2×6 exterior walls.
