This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 85439R is a large family house plan of 2446 ft², designed as a year-round home for the country or the suburbs. Its broad footprint measures 124'0" wide and 65'0" deep, a scale that gives a household room to settle in for the long term. For a family that values space, these outer dimensions are the first thing to weigh, and the floor plan shows how that generous width and depth are put to use from one end of the house to the other.
Much of what makes this house plan appealing is the freedom to adapt its base to the way you want to build. The house is not drawn with a basement as standard, and the foundation is selected on request: it is also available with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A slab keeps the home close to the ground, with little distance between the floors and the outdoors. A crawl space leaves accessible room beneath the floors for pipes and ducts. A house plan with a walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outside, useful for storage, hobbies or guests.
The exterior walls offer a similar choice. Wood 2x6 and wood 2x4 framing are both available on request, so the structure can be matched to your builder's practice and your priorities. A 2x6 wall is deeper and leaves more room for insulation, which counts in a home lived in through every season, including the coldest winter evenings, while 2x4 framing is the slimmer, more traditional option. With these decisions made early, plan 85439R can become a family home shaped around your own needs, ready for many years of everyday life.
