2-Story House Plan 1298 ft²: 5 Beds, 4 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

House plan 41483R is a compact family home of 1298 ft², measuring 36'0" wide and 47'0" deep, with a choice of foundations and exterior wall framing available on request. This small house plan is meant for year-round living in the country or the suburbs, at a size that remains easy to take in and comfortable to live with every day. Because the house is deeper than it is wide, its proportions are clear from the start: a modest width that extends toward the back.

The foundation can be chosen to suit the way the family wants to live. A basement is not part of the base plan, but this house plan with a walkout basement option can gain a lower level with its own direct way outdoors, a welcome addition for those who want more from the same outline. Also available are a slab, which keeps the structure simple and close to the ground, and a crawl space, which leaves a shallow accessible area beneath the floor.

The exterior walls offer a similar choice, with wood framing available on request in either 2x4 or 2x6. The 2x6 option creates a deeper wall cavity, which matters to many owners of a home used through every season, on winter evenings as much as summer mornings, while 2x4 framing is the familiar standard of North American house construction.

Taken together, these options let plan 41483R be shaped around practical decisions made early: what lies beneath the house and how its walls are built. The result is a clearly proportioned home of 1298 ft², with a floor plan worth studying closely before settling on the foundation and framing that suit the household best.
