Plan 84978R is a 3-bedroom, 3-story house plan that pairs clean Contemporary and Mid Century lines with the low, horizontal calm of the Prairie tradition. Spread across 2269 ft², the home sits beneath a hip & valley roof, while brick exterior walls and large windows give it the confident presence of a modern luxury residence. The house measures 57'6" wide and 79'2" deep and is planned as a single family home on a generous, mansion-like scale, built without a basement.
A proper entry receives guests and leads into an open floor plan where the main living spaces flow together without walls in the way. The large family room is the heart of the house, anchored by a fireplace that draws everyone close on winter evenings, which makes this a true house plan with fireplace. The large kitchen opens to it in open concept fashion: an island gives plenty of room to cook and serve, a breakfast bar seats family for quick meals, and a breakfast nook offers a quieter spot for morning coffee. Large windows bring daylight deep into these rooms.
The bedrooms are clustered, keeping the private side of the home together and calm. The master suite is on the second floor and comes with a walk-in closet, while four full bathrooms mean nobody waits in the morning. An in-law suite gives relatives or long-staying guests their own comfortable quarters, making this a thoughtful house plan with in-law suite for multigenerational living. Practical rooms are well covered too: a utility room handles laundry and household systems, a workshop gives space for hobbies and projects, and a private sauna turns an ordinary weekday into a small retreat.
Outside, a covered side porch provides a sheltered place to sit and to come and go in any weather, and a balcony opens the upper floor to fresh air and the view. A carport for two cars keeps vehicles protected and close to the house. With its brick walls, layered hip & valley roofline and generous glazing, this modern house plan delivers luxury living across three stories, with every level shaped around everyday family life.
