This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 67887R is a family house plan of 2338 ft², drawn as a home for the country or the suburbs and meant to be lived in all year round. The house is 44'0" wide and 57'0" deep, so the footprint reaches further from front to back than it does across the front. That proportion is the first thing to read on the floor plan: the home keeps a measured front and gains its length toward the back.
Much of the flexibility of this plan lies in the base of the house, because the foundation is chosen on request. It is available with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A house plan with a slab foundation rests the floors directly on the base, with no level beneath them. A crawl space leaves a low, accessible space under the floors for pipes and ducts. A walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outside, a natural choice for a family that wants more room for storage, hobbies or guests.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice, with wood 2x6 framing and wood 2x4 framing both available on request. The 2x6 wall is the deeper of the two and leaves more room for insulation, something a family will appreciate on winter evenings, while the 2x4 wall is the slimmer framing option for a wood-frame house.
Taken together, these options allow one design of 2338 ft² to be adapted to the way a family intends to build and live. The owners decide what lies beneath the floors and how the walls are framed, while the design of the home itself stays the same.
