Plan 37290R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan of 3651 ft² that brings together modern farmhouse character, a hip and valley roof and an L-shaped footprint. Siding and brick share the facade, blending the warmth of Country architecture with the composure of Traditional and New American design. The house measures 58'4" wide and 81'0" deep and is laid out for a single family that wants space to spread out: four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a half bath and a bonus room above the garage.
The center of daily life is an open floor plan arranged around a large family room with vaulted ceilings. Floor-to-ceiling windows and other large windows fill it with daylight, and a bay window adds depth to the elevation. The kitchen works for quick weekday meals as well as for hosting. An island anchors the room, a breakfast bar seats the family for breakfast, a breakfast nook offers a calmer spot for slow Sunday mornings, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight. Beyond the main living area, a media room is set aside for movie nights, and a home office gives a dedicated place to work from home.
The main floor master suite is part of a split bedrooms layout, which separates the owners' retreat from the other bedrooms and gives everyone more privacy. A walk-in closet completes the suite. Practical rooms are placed where they are needed most. Laundry is on the main floor, a mudroom catches coats and boots at the family entrance, a formal entry welcomes guests, and storage keeps the rest of the house uncluttered. With three full baths and a powder room, mornings run smoothly even with a full house.
Outside, this house plan with a wraparound porch has outdoor space on several sides. There is a covered front porch, a screened porch for evenings without insects, a deck and a courtyard. The 2-car garage has a courtyard entry and an extension forward, so the garage doors do not face the street directly, and the bonus room above it adds flexible space for guests, hobbies or play. The plan is drawn on the foundation as shown, without a basement. It is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and with 2×6 exterior walls on request.
