This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 61526R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan with Modern Craftsman character, offering 1714 ft² of living space under a hip and valley roof. Stone/brick veneer and stucco dress the exterior walls, which are framed in Wood 2x6, and the house measures 48'0" wide and 65'6" deep. Craftsman, Transitional and American influences give the facade a balanced, timeless look that suits a single family home in the suburbs or the country.
The open floor plan follows a reverse living arrangement, keeping the main living spaces together on the upper level above the walkout basement. Past the entry, the large family room becomes the heart of the house, and its fireplace anchors the space on winter evenings. The large kitchen opens toward it, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. A breakfast nook gives the family an easy spot for quick morning meals, and a walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, leaving the counters clear for everyday work and for entertaining.
The bedrooms are clustered, an arrangement that keeps the sleeping quarters close together and makes life simpler for families with young children. The main floor master includes a walk-in closet, and three full bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, so mornings rarely turn into a wait at the bathroom door. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and the plan also provides a utility room, a media room for movie nights and a workshop for hobbies and home projects.
The house stands on a walkout basement, and it is also available with a slab or a crawl space foundation on request, as well as with Wood 2x4 exterior wall framing. A front entry 2-car garage handles vehicles and storage. Outdoor living is generous: a covered front porch welcomes guests, while at the back stacked porches pair a covered rear porch with a balcony above it, giving the family sheltered places to enjoy fresh air on both levels of this 4 bedroom house plan with fireplace.
