This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 68683R is a 5-bedroom 3-story house plan that blends Craftsman and Mountain character in an L-shaped home of 2468 ft². Its hip and valley roof, siding paired with stone/brick veneer, and large windows give the exterior a Northwest, rustic presence. The house is 54'0" wide and 80'0" deep, with 3 full bathrooms, a half bath, a walkout basement and a two-car garage.
The covered front porch leads to a proper entry, and from there the open floor plan unfolds. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace, making this a house plan with fireplace where everyone gathers once the evenings turn cool. It flows into a large kitchen built for real cooking and entertaining: a central island, a walk-in pantry for bulk storage, and a breakfast nook brightened by a corner window. A home office gives remote work or homework a quiet, separate place, and a media room offers a second space for movie nights away from the main living area.
The split bedrooms layout keeps the five bedrooms apart for privacy. The master suite sits on the second floor and includes a walk-in closet, so the owners have their own retreat away from the busier rooms. Three full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, while the half bath is convenient for guests. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a dedicated utility room keeps mechanical equipment and household storage out of sight.
Outside, stacked porches and a balcony let the upper level enjoy fresh air and the view, and a deck extends the living space for summer meals. The two-car garage has a courtyard entry, which keeps the doors from dominating the front of the home and creates a welcoming courtyard. 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. For a family looking for a Craftsman house plan with generous rooms on three levels and a strong connection to the outdoors, 68683R and its 2468 ft² offer a lasting year-round home.
