2-Story House Plan with Basement 2384 ft²: 5 Beds, Home Office, 3.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

House plan 47419R is a family house plan of 2384 ft², drawn 38'0" wide and 75'0" deep, for a home lived in all year round in the country or the suburbs. Its long footprint is the first thing to notice, and two important decisions remain open to the future owners: what the house stands on and how its exterior walls are framed.

The proportions define this floor plan. The house is nearly twice as deep as it is wide, so the front is about half the length of each side. The result is a long, slender volume with a clear sense of direction from front to back, and a shape that gives the home a calm, orderly presence. On a quiet evening, the lit windows along a form like this are a welcome sight.

The foundation can be matched to the needs of the family. A basement is not part of the standard plan, but this house plan with a walkout basement is available on request, adding a lower level with its own door to the outside. It is also available with a slab, which sets the home on a concrete base, or with a crawl space, which leaves accessible room beneath the floors for pipes and ducts.

The exterior walls offer a similar choice. Wood 2x6 framing is available on request, and its deeper wall cavity leaves more room for insulation, a practical benefit through both winter and summer. Wood 2x4 framing is available as well, for those who prefer the slimmer, traditional wall. These options let this family house plan be prepared around the priorities of the people who will live in it.
