This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 31577R is a spacious family house plan of 1922 ft², designed as a year-round home for the country or the suburbs, with a footprint 66'0" wide and 101'0" deep. Those proportions set its character: the house is considerably deeper than it is wide, so it stretches back from the front facade in a long, composed line.
At 1922 ft², this is a comfortable size for a household that wants room for daily life together and for quiet time apart, without stepping up to an oversized estate. The generous depth gives the floor plan a sense of progression from the front door toward the back of the house, a quality that suits a home meant to be lived in through every season.
The base design has no basement, and the foundation is one of the decisions left to the family building the house. Three options are available on request. A slab sets the home directly on the ground, and a crawl space leaves accessible room under the floors for pipes and ducts. A walkout basement adds a lower level with its own direct way outdoors, useful for storage, hobbies or a guest area, and it is the natural choice for anyone who wants extra space below the main living level.
The exterior walls can be adapted as well, with wood 2x4 and wood 2x6 framing both available on request. The 2x4 wall is a familiar standard of North American home building, while 2x6 framing gives a thicker wall with more room for insulation. With the foundation and framing chosen to suit the family, plan 31577R becomes a house shaped around the way its owners want to live.
