This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 43198R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan with a walkout basement, offering 1655 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof. Drawn in the Prairie and American tradition, this L-shaped single family home measures 48'0" wide and 67'0" deep, and its exterior walls combine stone/brick veneer with stucco. The walls are framed in 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing also available on request, and the long, low lines of the roof give the front a calm, grounded look.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan in which the family room, the dining area and the kitchen share one generous space. A fireplace in the family room anchors the seating area and makes winter evenings feel unhurried. The large kitchen is built for real cooking and easy company: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a sunny breakfast nook and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. Large windows and a bay window bring daylight deep into the rooms, and the reverse living arrangement keeps the main gathering spaces on the upper level, above the walkout basement, where the views are widest. A media room and a home office round out the living spaces, one for movie nights, the other for quiet work.
The four bedrooms follow a split bedroom layout, so the main floor master sits apart from the other bedrooms for more privacy. The master suite has its own walk-in closet, and three full bathrooms mean that family members and guests never have to share in a hurry. Everyday chores stay simple with laundry on the main floor, a separate utility room and dedicated storage, while a proper entry gives coats and bags a place to land the moment you walk in.
Outside, the house stands on a walkout basement; a slab or a crawl space foundation is also available. The two-car garage extends forward and opens with a courtyard entry, shaping a sheltered courtyard in front of the house and keeping the garage doors off the main façade. A covered front porch welcomes visitors, and at the back stacked porches pair a covered rear porch with the level below, joined by a balcony for morning coffee in the open air. Together these features make this Prairie-style home with a fireplace a practical and refined place to live all year round.
