Plan 42642R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan with modern farmhouse character, offering 2488 ft² of family living beneath a hip and valley roof accented by dormers. Country and New American influences shape the facade: the ridge runs parallel to the street, the exterior walls are finished in siding, and the house measures 68'0" wide and 50'4" deep. With four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a two-car garage, this single-family home is planned for everyday life as much as for hosting.
The entry opens to an open floor plan that brings the large family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook together into one connected space, with vaulted ceilings adding height and volume. A fireplace in the family room gives the house its natural gathering point, the place where winter evenings slow down. The large kitchen is made for cooking and conversation at the same time: an island anchors the work zone, a breakfast bar handles quick meals, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight. Beyond the main living area, a home office offers a quiet place to work, and a media room is ready for movie nights and game days.
The split bedroom layout puts the main floor master apart from the other bedrooms, so parents and children each have their own quiet zone. Three full bathrooms serve the four bedrooms comfortably, and a walk-in closet adds generous wardrobe space. Practical rooms are thought through as well: laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, while a utility room and dedicated storage keep the household running smoothly.
Outside, a covered front porch and a wraparound porch give the house its welcoming country presence, and a screened porch extends the living space outdoors on warm mornings. The side-entry two-car garage keeps the garage doors off the front elevation, leaving the porch and dormers to define the street view. The house is drawn on the foundation as shown; it is also available on request with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and with 2×6 exterior walls.
