This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 75737R is a large family house plan of 3419 ft², drawn for a year-round home in the country or the suburbs. The house is 65'0" wide and 80'0" deep, so it reaches back from the front facade rather than stretching along it. Those proportions leave room for a substantial floor plan, and a home of this size suits a household that wants space to gather as well as space to spread out on ordinary days.
The foundation is chosen on request, and the house is available with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A slab sets the home on a solid base with no level beneath it. A crawl space leaves an accessible zone under the floors for the building's services. A walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outside, making this a house plan with a walkout basement option for families who want extra room below the main living areas.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice. Wood 2x6 framing and wood 2x4 framing are both available on request, so the wall construction can be agreed before work begins. The 2x6 option creates a deeper wall with more room for insulation, a sensible consideration for a house lived in through every season, from the first frost to the long evenings of summer. The 2x4 option is the slimmer, more conventional build.
Together, these options allow the same 3419 ft² design to be adapted to the priorities of the family who will live in it. Foundation and framing can both be settled at the planning stage, giving the future owners a clear starting point for a spacious, lasting home.
