This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
House plan 23944R describes a family home of 2439 ft², designed for year-round living in the country or the suburbs. The house measures 58'0" wide and 69'0" deep, so it is slightly deeper than it is wide. This spacious house plan suits a household that wants room to settle in, and it leaves two key construction choices open: what the house stands on and how its outer walls are framed.
The foundation can be matched to the needs of the family and the build. A basement is not part of the standard design, but the plan is available on request with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A slab foundation keeps the ground floor close to grade, while a crawl space leaves accessible room beneath the floors for pipes and ducts.
For those who want more space below, the house plan with a walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outside, useful for storage, hobbies or visiting relatives. On a winter afternoon, it could easily become the room where everyone gathers.
The exterior walls are also available with 2x6 or 2x4 wood framing. A 2x6 wall is thicker and has a deeper cavity for insulation, while 2x4 framing is a familiar, widely used way to build. With 2439 ft² to work with, these options allow one floor plan to be shaped around the way a family intends to build and live, season after season.
