This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 53476R is a 4-bedroom 2-story luxury house plan with 5457 ft² of living space, combining Craftsman, Mountain and Rustic character under a Dutch gable and hip-and-valley roof with dormers and a ridge parallel to the street. Stone/brick veneer and stucco dress the exterior walls, and the house measures 123'0" wide and 82'0" deep. With four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and a half bath, this single family home has the scale of a mansion, and it draws on Traditional, Lake and Ranch influences for a refined American residence built for a large household and frequent guests.
A portico marks the entry, which leads into an open floor plan centered on the large family room. Its fireplace anchors the seating area, and the room is open to below, so the loft above looks down over it. Large windows and a bay window carry daylight deep into the house. The large kitchen is planned for everyday routines and for entertaining alike: an island for prep and gathering, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies close at hand. A home office offers a quiet place to work, and the layout follows a reverse living concept that gives the shared rooms a prominent place in the plan.
The master suite sits on the main floor with its own walk-in closet, and the split bedrooms arrangement keeps the other three bedrooms apart from it for privacy. Two of the secondary bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, while the half bath serves guests. Laundry on the main floor, a utility room and generous storage take care of daily chores. For leisure there is a media room for movie nights, an exercise room for workouts at home, and a bonus/flex room that can become a playroom, hobby space or guest area as the family's needs change.
The house stands on a walkout basement and is also available with a slab or crawl space foundation. Exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, with 2x4 framing available on request. A 3-car garage with courtyard entry keeps the front elevation calm and frames a courtyard at the approach. Outdoor living is a highlight: a wraparound porch, covered front, rear and side porches, and stacked porches with a balcony give shaded places to sit at every time of day, from the first coffee to long summer evenings.
