Plan 47209R is a 2-bedroom 3-story house plan that wraps 2800 ft² of living space in a modern farmhouse exterior with American character, lap siding and a steep Hip & Valley roof at a 10/12 (40°) pitch. The home measures 49'9" wide and 43'9" deep and rises 32'6" high, a generous footprint for a single-family house with only two bedrooms, which leaves room for flexible spaces, three full bathrooms and a home office.
The open floor plan is built around the family room, where a fireplace anchors the seating area and the ceiling opens to below, so the upper level overlooks the main gathering space. Large windows bring daylight deep into the room, and on a winter evening the fire becomes the natural center of the house. The large kitchen sits in the same open concept layout, with a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a breakfast nook for slower mornings. A walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight and the work surfaces clear.
The bedrooms follow a split layout, giving each its own privacy. The master suite is on the second floor and includes a walk-in closet, and with three full bathrooms across the home, no one has to share at busy times of day. The home office suits remote work or study away from the living areas. Practical rooms are placed where daily routines need them: a mudroom for coats and boots, and laundry on the main floor, so there is no carrying baskets up and down the stairs.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes guests and leads to a defined entry. The front-entry 2-car garage comes with upstairs space above it, adding square footage for storage or hobbies without enlarging the footprint. The house sits on a slab foundation, with no basement, and the exterior walls are framed with 2x4″ lumber. For families who want a refined farmhouse look, a house plan with fireplace, an open kitchen and room to work from home, this design delivers a lot in a well-ordered package.
