1-Story House Plan with Basement 1695 ft²: 5 Beds, 3.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

House plan 88421R is a family house plan of 1695 ft², a year-round home with an outline 50'0" wide and 59'0" deep. Running slightly deeper than it is wide, the footprint has a balanced, nearly square shape. What sets this plan apart is how much of its construction can be tailored to the family who will live in it, since both the foundation and the exterior wall framing are offered as options.

Three foundation types are available on request. A slab foundation sets the house on a concrete base, keeping the main floor close to the level of the ground outside. A crawl space leaves a shallow area beneath the floor, a practical route for pipes and ducts that stays reachable for service. A walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outdoors. The standard design does not include a basement, so this option suits families who want extra room for storage, hobbies or guests.

The exterior walls can be requested with wood 2x4 or wood 2x6 framing. Wood 2x4 is a familiar choice in North American home building, while 2x6 exterior walls create a deeper wall cavity with more room for insulation, a welcome detail on cold winter evenings.

Together, these choices make the floor plan of 88421R a flexible starting point. With 1695 ft² of living space, three foundation options and two framing options, the house can be matched to your building priorities. It is worth settling these decisions with your builder before construction begins, so that the foundation and walls work together from the first day on site.
