This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 85963R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan with a walkout basement, offering 1669 ft² of Craftsman character with Northwest and American touches under a hip and valley roof. The facade pairs siding with stone/brick veneer, and the house measures 41'0" wide and 73'5" deep. Designed for a sloped setting, it keeps everyday life on one main level while the lower level opens directly to the outdoors.
The living spaces follow an open floor plan that links the family room, the dining area and the kitchen into one generous zone. A fireplace in the family room anchors the space and gives winter evenings a natural gathering point. The large kitchen is built for real cooking and easy company: an island provides prep space, a breakfast bar seats quick meals and conversation, and a breakfast nook offers a quieter spot for morning coffee. With its reverse living layout, the main gathering rooms sit on the upper level, connected to the covered rear porch and its stacked porches, where a balcony and a deck extend the home outward.
The main floor master keeps the owners' suite on the same level as the kitchen and family room, and the clustered bedrooms are grouped together so the family stays close. Three full bathrooms serve the four bedrooms comfortably. Practical rooms are well represented: laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, a home office supports remote work, and a media room and a bonus/flex room add space for movie nights, hobbies or guests. A utility room, dedicated storage and a defined entry keep the household organized.
The house stands on a walkout basement and is also available with a slab or crawl space foundation. Exterior walls are framed with wood 2x6, with wood 2x4 framing available on request. The front-entry 2-car attached garage extends forward of the facade, leaving the covered front porch and its portico to welcome visitors. At the back, the covered rear porch, deck and balcony give this Craftsman house plan plenty of room to enjoy the yard from both levels.
