Plan 47889R is a 3-bedroom 3-story house plan in the Modern Craftsman style, offering 2470 ft² of living space under a gable roof with the ridge set perpendicular to the street. Siding paired with shakes and shingles gives the facade the texture of a traditional American Craftsman, while its clean lines lean toward a modern farmhouse look. This single family home measures 39'8" wide and 61'6" deep and includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom and a two-car garage.
The entry opens to an open floor plan that joins a large family room and a large kitchen in one generous space. A fireplace in the family room anchors the seating area and turns long winter evenings into the best part of the day. The kitchen is built around an island with a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation with whoever is cooking, while a breakfast nook offers a quieter place to sit down in the morning. A walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, so the counters stay clear for real work.
The bedrooms are clustered on the second floor, which keeps the family close at night. The master suite is on the same level and comes with a walk-in closet, and the laundry room is upstairs as well, so baskets never have to travel up and down the stairs. Two full bathrooms serve the household, and a half bathroom is ready for guests. The bonus room above the garage adds flexible space for a home office, a playroom or a media room that can change as the children grow.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors and a covered rear porch extends everyday life into the fresh air, from morning coffee to summer dinners. The front-entry two-car garage carries the bonus room upstairs, making good use of every part of the footprint. The foundation is built as shown in the plans, and the house is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available on request.
