This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 27196R is a 4-bedroom two-story house plan with Modern Mountain character, offering 2189 ft² of living space under a double shed roof, with siding over 2x6 wood-framed exterior walls. Contemporary, Northwest and Transitional influences shape its L-shaped form, while large windows and a bay window keep the rooms bright. The house measures 51'6" wide and 73'6" deep and stands on a walkout basement, so the family gains a full lower level that opens directly to the outdoors.
The shared rooms follow an open floor plan and a reverse living layout, which gives the daily living spaces the best level of the house. A large family room with a fireplace anchors the home, and an open-to-below area links it visually with the rest of the house. On winter evenings the fire becomes the natural gathering point. The large kitchen is built for real cooking and for company: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight. An entry space receives guests and gives coats and shoes their own place.
The master suite is on the main floor, with a walk-in closet, so the owners can keep their bedroom close to the kitchen and living areas. The remaining bedrooms are clustered together, which suits families with children or visiting relatives. Three full bathrooms and a half bath serve the household and guests. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a utility room and generous storage handle the practical side of the home. For work and leisure the floor plan adds a home office, a media room for movie nights, an exercise room and a wine cellar, rooms that usually call for a much larger house.
Outside, the 2-car garage has a courtyard entry and is extended forward, which frames the approach and keeps the garage doors away from the main view of the facade. Stacked porches, a balcony and a covered rear porch give each level its own outdoor space for morning coffee or summer dinners. The walkout basement is the standard foundation; the plan is also available with a slab or crawl space foundation, and the exterior walls can be drawn with 2x4 framing on request.
