This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 71749R is a 5-bedroom 3-story house plan that offers 2370 ft² of living space under a hip and valley roof, with a Modern Craftsman character refined by New American and Transitional lines. Stucco exterior walls give the facade a clean, enduring finish, while traditional proportions keep it at home on any suburban or country street. The single family home measures 38'0" wide and 66'0" deep and includes 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, a 2-car garage and a walkout basement.
The heart of the house follows an open floor plan with a reverse living arrangement, so the main gathering spaces sit together in one generous, connected zone. The family room has a fireplace and a sitting area beside it, a natural place to settle in on winter evenings. Vaulted ceilings and an area open to below give the space height, and large windows and a bay window bring in daylight. The large kitchen easily serves the whole family and has a walk-in pantry and a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings. A media room and a bonus/flex room add space for movie nights, a home office, a playroom or hobbies, so this open concept design adapts as the household changes.
The five bedrooms are clustered, which keeps the private wing quiet and close-knit. The master suite is on the second floor and has a walk-in closet, and the three full bathrooms are shared among the remaining bedrooms, while the half bath serves guests. Practical rooms are well thought out: the laundry is on the main floor, and a separate utility room and dedicated storage keep everyday equipment out of sight.
Outside, stacked porches and a balcony give the front of this Craftsman house plan depth and a welcoming rhythm, and a covered rear porch extends living outdoors in any weather. The front-entry 2-car garage extends forward of the house. As a house plan with a walkout basement, it stands on that foundation by default, and it is also available with a slab or crawl space foundation on request. The exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, with 2x4 wood framing available as an option.
