Plan 52212R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan that combines modern farmhouse character with New American and traditional lines across 4200 ft² of living space. A hip and valley roof with dormers runs its ridge parallel to the street, and siding wraps the exterior walls of this single-family home, which measures 88'0" wide and 53'0" deep. Country charm meets a layout built for a busy household, with four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and a 3-car garage.
Guests arrive through a proper entry, while everyday traffic from the garage passes through a mudroom, so coats, boots and backpacks stay out of the main rooms. The open floor plan centers on a large family room with a fireplace, where winter evenings bring everyone together. It flows into the large kitchen, where an island and a breakfast bar leave room for cooking and quick meals side by side. A breakfast nook adds a relaxed spot for morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight. For anyone searching for a house plan with fireplace and a kitchen that truly works, this is the heart of the home.
The main floor master gives the owners single-level convenience, complete with a walk-in closet. The remaining bedrooms are clustered together, creating a quiet zone for children or guests, and five full bathrooms mean nobody waits in the morning. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs. With three stories to work with, the plan also makes space for a home office, a media room for movie nights and a bonus/flex room that can become a playroom, gym or hobby space as the family changes.
Outside, a screened porch extends the living space into the open air on warm evenings. The attached 3-car garage has a side entry, which keeps the doors off the front of the house and lets the dormered roofline lead the view from the street. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the plan, and it is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. The exterior walls can likewise be ordered with 2×6 framing.
