1.5-Story House Plan with Basement 4907 ft²: 4 Beds, 4.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

Brick walls, a hip and valley roof and a row of dormers introduce Plan 81789R, a 4-bedroom 2-storey house plan with a basement that unfolds across 4907 ft² in an L-shaped layout. Its character blends French Country and Acadian charm with Cape Cod, Colonial and English detailing, and the relaxed grace of Southern and Louisiana architecture gives this European-inspired American home design a stately presence. At 94'1" wide and 90'8" deep, the single-family residence has the scale of a true mansion, with four bedrooms, three full baths and three powder rooms.

The arrival sequence is carefully composed. The 2-car garage extends forward and opens from the side through a courtyard entry, so the doors face inward and the courtyard becomes a gracious forecourt before the front door. A covered front porch shelters guests as they come in, while a covered rear porch adds an outdoor room for summer dinners and quiet evenings. The house is drawn as shown with a basement; the plan can also be prepared with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab or a stem wall, and 2×6 exterior walls are offered as an option.

Comfort shapes the private side of the house. This main floor master plan gives the owners a suite with its own fireplace, a sitting area, a walk-in closet and a door straight into the laundry. A split bedroom arrangement places the master away from the other bedrooms, which share a Jack & Jill bath. Because there is a laundry on the main floor and another on the second floor, loads stay close to where clothes are worn. An elevator connects the levels, a welcome feature for aging parents or anyone carrying groceries upstairs, and generous storage keeps seasonal gear neatly put away.

Daily life gathers in an open concept core beneath vaulted ceilings. The large family room, warmed by a fireplace, flows into a large centre kitchen planned for both cooking and company: a working island, a breakfast bar for casual meals, a breakfast nook for slow weekend mornings and a walk-in pantry. Beyond the main rooms, a game room, an exercise room and a bonus room above the garage give space for movie nights, workouts, a home office or a playroom, making this one of those house plans Canada families can grow into for many years.
