1-Story House Plan with Basement 1657 ft²: 3 Beds, Home Office, 2.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

Plan 38996R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with a walkout basement, offering 1657 ft² of Craftsman design with a Northwest accent under a hip and valley roof. This American home, drawn in the Modern Craftsman spirit, has an L-shaped footprint 42'6" wide and 68'0" deep. It has 2 full bathrooms and a half bath. The exterior walls combine siding, stone/brick veneer and shakes/shingles over Wood 2x6 framing, with Wood 2x4 framing also available on request.

The entry leads into an open floor plan centered on a large family room, where a fireplace anchors the seating area and draws the household together on cold evenings. The large kitchen is built for everyday cooking and for hosting. An island and a breakfast bar give room for quick meals and conversation, a breakfast nook adds a relaxed spot for morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies close at hand. The layout follows a reverse living arrangement, which puts the shared rooms at the heart of the home.

The bedrooms are clustered, and the master suite sits on the main floor with a walk-in closet. The two full bathrooms and the powder room are placed so that family and guests each have a convenient bath. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a separate utility room handles storage and mechanical needs. A home office gives a quiet place to work. A media room and a bonus/flex room round out the plan, ready for movie nights, a playroom, a gym or a hobby space as the family grows.

Outside, the walkout basement is the main foundation, with slab and crawl space foundations also available on request. The 2-car garage has a front entry and extends forward of the house, which shapes the L of the plan and frames the arrival. A covered front porch welcomes visitors, while a covered rear porch, a deck, a balcony and stacked porches give several places to sit outside. For a family looking for a Craftsman house plan with a fireplace, a walkout basement and generous outdoor living, this one-story home delivers a lot of flexibility in 1657 ft².
