This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
House plan 50091R is a family home for year-round living in the country or the suburbs, offering 1842 ft² of total area in a footprint 32'0" wide and 50'0" deep. Available with three foundation options and two types of wood wall framing, this house plan lets the structure follow the way you intend to build and live.
The proportions shape the character of the floor plan. With noticeably more depth than width, the house keeps a measured front and extends toward the back, unfolding along its length rather than from side to side. At 1842 ft², it gives a family room for everyday life together without excess space to heat, clean and maintain.
Below the floors, the choice stays open. The home is available on request with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A slab gives the house a simple, low base, while a crawl space leaves accessible room beneath the floors for pipes and ducts. For a family that wants extra room, the walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outside, useful for storage, hobbies or guests. The basement is an option rather than part of the standard design, so the decision can be made according to the needs of the household.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice, with wood 2x6 or wood 2x4 framing available on request. 2x6 framing creates a deeper wall with more room for insulation, a real comfort on winter evenings, while 2x4 framing is the slimmer, traditional choice in North American home building. Together, these options make it possible to shape the foundation and the walls of the house around the priorities of the people who will live in it.
