Plan 81823R is a 3-bedroom house plan that blends coastal charm and traditional American lines with the relaxed spirit of a modern farmhouse. With 4057 ft², a hip and valley roof brightened by skylights, siding walls, a main floor master and a bonus room above the garage, this single-family home measures 85'11" wide and 52'6" deep. A three-car garage, three full bathrooms and one half bath round out a plan made for a growing household.
Inside, a closed floor plan gives every room its own clear role. The large family room rises under vaulted ceilings and becomes the natural gathering place, while a separate sitting area offers a calmer corner for reading or long conversations. The large rear kitchen looks toward the back of the house and is built for real cooking: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals, a breakfast nook for slow weekend mornings and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies neatly out of sight.
This is a house plan with two master suites, arranged as split bedrooms so that each part of the family keeps its privacy. The main floor master includes a walk-in closet and a private bath, and the second suite works equally well for guests or older children. Three full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, and a half bath stays close to the living spaces for visitors. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down, and the bonus/flex room above the garage can become a home office, a playroom or a hobby space.
Outdoors, the home invites time in the fresh air. A covered rear porch and a screened porch extend the living area through warm evenings, stacked porches and a balcony add character to the facade, and a courtyard frames the arrival. The three-car garage with space upstairs combines courtyard entry with front entry and side entry. The foundation is as shown in the drawings, and the plan is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, as well as with 2×6 exterior walls.
