1.5-Story House Plan with Basement 2938 ft²: 5 Beds, 4.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

House plan 35253R is a spacious family home of 2938 ft², designed for year-round living in the country or the suburbs. Measuring 42'0" wide and 68'0" deep, this large house plan has a footprint noticeably deeper than it is wide. Its foundation and exterior wall framing can be chosen on request, so the home can be planned around the way a family intends to build and live.

Three foundation options are available on request. A slab sets the main level close to the ground and gives the house a simple, solid base. A crawl space raises the floor slightly and leaves a low, accessible area beneath it for pipes, ducts and other services. For those who want more room below the main level, a house plan with a walkout basement option adds a lower floor with its own direct way outside, a practical place for storage, hobbies or guests.

The exterior walls are also available in two types of wood framing. Wood 2x6 framing creates a deeper wall cavity with more room for insulation, a welcome advantage on cold winter evenings. Wood 2x4 framing offers a familiar, widely used method of construction with a slimmer wall.

Together, these options make the floor plan of 35253R a flexible starting point for a permanent family residence. With 2938 ft² to work with, the choice of foundation and framing can be settled early, before construction begins, so that the finished home suits the family's priorities from the first morning in it.
