2-Story House Plan with Basement 2342 ft²: 3 Beds, Home Office, 3.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

House plan 96158R is a family house plan of 2342 ft², drawn as a year-round home for the country or the suburbs and measuring 54'0" wide and 54'0" deep. A footprint as deep as it is wide gives the house a balanced, composed outline, and the total area leaves generous room for everyday family life under one roof.

The first decision this plan hands to its owners is what the house will stand on. The base design does not include a basement, and three foundations are available on request. A slab keeps the home low and close to the ground, so stepping outdoors feels easy. A crawl space raises the floor slightly and leaves an accessible space beneath it for pipes and ducts. A house plan with a walkout basement suits families who want a lower level that opens directly to the outside, with extra room for whatever the household needs next.

The exterior walls are just as flexible. Wood 2x6 framing and wood 2x4 framing are both available on request. The 2x6 wall is deeper and leaves more space for insulation, which counts in a home lived in through every season, on quiet winter evenings most of all, while 2x4 framing is the leaner, familiar standard of North American house building.

Taken together, these options let plan 96158R take shape around the way a family intends to live, from a simple home on a slab to a fuller house with a walkout lower level. With 2342 ft² to work with, it is a solid starting point for a lasting family residence, and the floor plan shows how the space is arranged.
