This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 88957R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan in the Craftsman bungalow tradition, offering 1649 ft² of living space under a hip and valley roof, with a full walkout basement below. Its Modern Craftsman and Northwest character comes from a layered mix of siding, stone/brick veneer and shakes/shingles, and the house measures 45'0" wide and 58'0" deep. Exterior walls are framed with 2x6 wood, and 2x4 framing is also available on request. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this single-family American home is planned for everyday family life rather than show.
Past the entry, an open floor plan brings the large family room, the large kitchen and the breakfast nook together beneath vaulted ceilings. The family room is built around its fireplace, the natural gathering point on winter evenings, while large windows carry daylight across the shared space. In the kitchen, an island with a breakfast bar gives room for quick meals and conversation with whoever is cooking, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight. The plan follows a reverse living concept, keeping these main gathering spaces on the upper level, where the morning starts with coffee and a view through the windows.
The master suite is on the main floor, and the bedrooms are clustered so the private side of the house stays quiet and easy to manage. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, and the three full bathrooms mean busy mornings run without a line at the door. Laundry on the main floor sits close to where clothes are actually worn and stored, and a separate utility room and dedicated storage keep the working side of the home tidy. A media room and a wine cellar/room add space for movie nights and for hosting friends.
As a house plan with a walkout basement, 88957R gains a lower level that opens directly to the outdoors; the plan is also available with a slab or a crawl space foundation. A front-entry 2-car garage handles vehicles and gear. Outdoor living is generous: stacked porches, a covered rear porch, a deck and a balcony give the family several places to sit outside, whether it is a sunny afternoon or a soft rain.
