This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 25362R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan in the Modern Craftsman style, with 1515 ft² of living space on one main level set above a full walkout basement. Craftsman and American character comes through in the exterior walls, which pair siding with stone/brick veneer over wood 2x6 framing; wood 2x4 framing is also available on request. The home measures 46'0" wide and 62'6" deep and includes 3 full bathrooms, a two-car garage and a reverse-living arrangement that places the everyday living spaces on the upper level, where the views and the light are best.
The entry opens into an open floor plan built around a large family room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, the natural gathering point of the house on winter evenings. Panoramic windows and large windows draw daylight deep into the room and connect it visually with the outdoors. The large kitchen sits right alongside, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. An island anchors the workspace, a breakfast bar seats quick meals and homework sessions, and a separate breakfast nook offers a calmer spot for morning coffee. A walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, leaving the counters clear.
The bedrooms are clustered, which keeps the private part of the home compact and easy to manage. The main floor master includes a walk-in closet, and with 3 full bathrooms there is no morning queue, even for a family of six. Laundry on the main floor, together with a dedicated laundry room and a utility room, puts household chores close to the bedrooms instead of down a flight of stairs. For leisure, the plan adds a media room for movie nights and a wine cellar/room for storing a collection and entertaining guests.
Outside, this house plan with walkout basement makes good use of every level. Stacked porches and a balcony give the facade depth, a covered rear porch offers sheltered outdoor dining, and a deck extends the living space into the yard. The two-car front-entry garage provides direct, practical access from the street. The walkout basement is the standard foundation, while a slab or a crawl space is also available on request.
