This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 64534R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan that blends European and New American design with a traditional American character. Its 2189 ft² sits beneath a hip & valley roof, with exterior walls in stone/brick veneer and stucco. The L-shaped house measures 51'6" wide and 75'0" deep. A portico frames the front entry. The two-car garage extends forward and opens from a courtyard, so its doors face the courtyard rather than the approach.
The open floor plan joins the large family room, the large kitchen and the breakfast nook into one generous living area. The family room has a fireplace and is open to below, which gives it height and links it visually to the upper level. On winter evenings the fire becomes the natural gathering point of the house. Panoramic windows and large windows bring daylight deep into the rooms, and a bay window adds a bright corner. The kitchen works for everyday cooking and for entertaining, with an island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies off the counters.
The master bedroom is on the main floor, a practical choice for anyone who wants the primary suite close to the living spaces and away from the stairs. Three more bedrooms complete the sleeping quarters. Three full bathrooms serve the family, and a half bath is there for guests. The layout also includes a walk-in closet. Laundry on the main floor, a utility room and storage make daily routines simple. Beyond the bedrooms, the plan offers rooms for work and leisure: a home office, a bonus/flex room, a media room, an exercise room and a wine cellar/room.
The house stands on a walkout basement and is also available with a slab or a crawl space foundation. The exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, and 2x4 framing is available on request. Outdoor living is spread across stacked porches, a covered rear porch, a deck and a balcony, with room for morning coffee and long summer dinners. With a main floor master, a fireplace, an attached 2-car garage and a walkout basement, this house plan gives a growing family space for every part of the day.
