This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 89238R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that unites Craftsman, New American and Shingle styles in one L-shaped family home of 3607 ft². The exterior is clad in shakes and shingles beneath a hip and valley roof, and the traditional American character shows in the covered front porch, the portico and the large windows. The house measures 76'6" wide and 84'0" deep, and every everyday room sits on one level.
The entry leads into an open floor plan centered on a large family room with a fireplace, the natural gathering place on winter evenings. The large kitchen is a rear kitchen, set toward the back of the house, and it works hard for a busy family: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. A breakfast nook offers a quieter spot for morning coffee, and the sunroom adds a bright, relaxed space for reading or plants. A bay window lends the interior extra depth and light.
This is a split-bedroom layout, so the main floor master is separated from the two secondary bedrooms and gives the owners real privacy. The master suite includes a walk-in closet. With four full bathrooms and three half bathrooms, the plan offers unusual comfort for a 3 bedroom house plan, so guests and family rarely wait their turn. The laundry is on the main floor, close to daily life, and a bonus room above the garage serves as a flex room for a home office, a playroom or a guest retreat.
The 2-car garage extends forward with a courtyard entry, shaping a welcoming courtyard in front of the home. Out back, a deck with an outdoor fireplace makes cool evenings outdoors easy to enjoy. The foundation is as shown in the drawings, and the plan is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available as an option. It is a one-story house plan with a fireplace, generous storage and room to grow.
