Plan 31095R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan that pairs Neoclassical symmetry with French Country grace in a brick mansion of 5155 ft². A hip and valley roof with dormers runs its ridge parallel to the street, and a portico frames the covered front porch, giving this luxury house plan a stately, traditional face. The home measures 84'2" wide and 61'5" deep and has 4 full bathrooms plus a half bath, so all three levels are well served.
The closed floor plan gives each room its own character and a measure of quiet. The large family room anchors the main level, with a fireplace and a ceiling open to below, so the space rises toward the upper floor and large windows bring in daylight. The large kitchen is built for real cooking and easy gatherings: an island and a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. A home office gives work a door that closes, away from the bustle of family life.
The main floor master suite includes a walk-in closet and direct access to the laundry, which also sits on the main floor and saves many trips with a full basket. A split bedroom layout keeps the master apart from the other bedrooms, two of which share a Jack and Jill bath. An in-law suite offers a private retreat for grandparents or long-stay guests. For evenings in, a media room and a game room give everyone space to spread out, and dedicated storage keeps the house orderly.
Outside, stacked porches and a balcony carry the living spaces into the open air, while the covered rear porch and an outdoor fireplace stretch the outdoor season into cool autumn nights. A bay window adds depth to the brick facade. The attached 2-car garage has a side entry, keeping garage doors off the formal front elevation. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the plans and is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2x6 exterior walls available on request.
