This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
With three storeys, 2655 ft² of living space and a hip and valley roof crowning Craftsman and French Country lines, plan 83552R is a 3-bedroom, 3-storey house plan for a single-family household. The siding exterior carries Modern Craftsman trim, New American proportions and a few rustic and traditional touches, so the home design feels both classic and current. The footprint is 46'0" wide and 53'0" deep, and the layout includes 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom.
The outside of the house earns as much attention as the rooms within. A wraparound porch ties together the covered front porch and the covered rear porch, which means a sheltered place to sit on almost every side. A deck off the back adds open-air space for barbecues and long summer suppers with neighbours. The 2-car garage is a side-entry design that extends forward, so the doors face away from the street and the porch stays the focus of the facade. The foundation is drawn as shown, with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement available on request, and the walls can be upgraded to 2×6 exterior framing for buyers comparing house plans in Canada.
Inside, an open concept main floor links the family room, the dining area and the kitchen without dividing walls. The family room is generously sized and built around a fireplace, making this a true house plan with fireplace for anyone who values a warm centre to the home. Above it, the ceiling is open to below, giving the room a sense of height you notice the moment you walk in. The large kitchen sits at the back of the plan and is ready for real family cooking: an island at its centre, a breakfast bar for quick bites and a breakfast nook where the morning can unfold at its own pace.
Upstairs, the master bedroom occupies its own side of the second floor with a walk-in closet, while a split-bedroom arrangement places the other two bedrooms apart for added privacy. Laundry is on the same level, close to closets and bedrooms where the washing actually happens. A bonus/flex room can become a study, a playroom or a guest retreat as the family's needs change, and the half bathroom on the plan gives visitors a convenient powder room of their own.
