Plan 97889R is a 3-bedroom 2 story house plan with a modern farmhouse character, offering 3375 ft² of living space beneath a gable and hip-and-valley roof accented by dormers. Country, Southern and American influences shape the siding exterior, and the ridge runs parallel to the street, which gives the front a broad, calm profile. The house is 83'11" wide and 53'0" deep, and its floor plan pairs three bedrooms with three full bathrooms and one half bath, a generous balance for a single-family home lived in all year round.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan that joins the family room and the kitchen into one connected space. Vaulted ceilings add height and volume, and the fireplace in the family room becomes the natural gathering point on winter evenings. The kitchen is placed at the rear of the house and is built around an island with a breakfast bar, so breakfasts, homework and conversation can happen while dinner is being prepared, without anyone being cut off from the rest of the family.
The master suite is on the main floor, and the split bedrooms layout keeps it apart from the other two bedrooms, giving parents and children or guests their own quiet side of the home. A walk-in closet adds practical storage, and three full bathrooms mean no waiting in the morning, while the half bath serves visitors. Laundry on the main floor keeps everyday chores close to the living areas. Above the garage, a bonus room offers flexible space for a playroom, a home office, a hobby room or a place for guests, making this a true house plan with bonus room.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors and offers a sheltered spot for quiet mornings, and a screened porch extends the living space into the warmer months. An outdoor fireplace makes evenings outside last longer. The attached 2-car garage has a front entry for direct access from the driveway. The house is built on the foundation as shown in the plans, without a basement, and it is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls available on request, a flexible choice for anyone building this 3-bedroom 2 story house plan.
