Plan 81334R is a 4-bedroom 3-story house plan with 2551 ft² of living space, a modern farmhouse with New American and Country character. Siding wraps the walls, and the roof combines gable and hip-and-valley sections, with the main ridge running parallel to the street. The L-shaped single-family home measures 59'6" wide and 66'4" deep and holds 4 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom, so every bedroom can have easy access to its own bath.
The main level is an open floor plan built around a large family room with a fireplace, the natural gathering place on winter evenings. The rear kitchen is generously sized and works hard: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slower mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps bulk groceries out of sight. A defined entry welcomes guests at the front, and a home office gives remote work or homework a quiet, separate room. The mudroom catches coats, boots and bags before they reach the living spaces, which keeps the open layout tidy.
The second floor master suite has a walk-in closet and shares the level with the other clustered bedrooms, an arrangement that suits families with young children. Laundry on the second floor puts the washer and dryer next to the bedrooms and closets, where the clothes actually live. An in-law suite gives grandparents or long-term guests a private space of their own, and the third story is a bonus level upstairs, ready to become a playroom, a media room or a studio as the family's needs change.
Outside, covered porches line the front, the rear and the side of the house, and stacked porches with a balcony give the upper floor its own outdoor seat. The attached 2-car garage has a side entry, which keeps the doors off the front elevation and leaves the porch as the face of the home. The plan is drawn on the foundation as shown and is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available on request.
