Plan 24237R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan that pairs cottage charm with country warmth and a modern farmhouse look, offering 2472 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof. Siding covers the exterior walls, and the narrow footprint measures 35'0" wide and 65'0" deep. Inside this American single-family home are 3 full bathrooms and a half bath, arranged so that both everyday routines and family gatherings have room to unfold.
The main living area follows an open floor plan, so the large family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook flow into one connected space. A fireplace in the family room gives the house its natural center, the spot where the family settles in on cold evenings. The large kitchen is planned for real cooking: a generous island offers prep space, a breakfast bar seats the family for quick meals, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight. The breakfast nook adds a relaxed place for morning coffee, and the open sightlines keep the cook part of the conversation in the family room.
Two master suites set this design apart, one on the main floor and one on the second floor, which gives parents, grandparents or long-term guests a private retreat of their own. The bedroom layout combines split and clustered arrangements: one master stands apart for quiet, while the other bedrooms are grouped together. A walk-in closet adds storage, and two of the bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, a practical setup for siblings. The half bath serves guests without sending them toward the private rooms. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a bonus/flex room can become a home office, a playroom or a hobby space as the family's needs change.
Outdoors, the house offers three distinct places to enjoy fresh air. A covered front porch welcomes visitors and invites slow evenings, a screened porch makes outdoor meals comfortable, and a deck provides open space for grilling and summer get-togethers. The foundation is built as shown in the plans, and the design is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. For added flexibility, 2×6 exterior walls can be ordered as an option.
