Plan 99478R is a 3-bedroom, 3-story house plan of 2987 ft² that pairs Coastal and Low Country charm with a modern farmhouse look, all under a gable roof with dormers and a ridge set perpendicular to the street. Siding and shakes/shingles dress the exterior walls, and the house measures 94'4" wide and 36'0" deep, a broad front that reads as relaxed and gracious at once. With four full and two half bathrooms, this Country-inspired American single family home gives everyone room to spread out.
The entry opens into an open floor plan where the family room, kitchen and dining area flow together. A fireplace in the family room gives the main living space its focal point and a warm place to gather on winter evenings. At the heart of the plan, the center kitchen is built around an island with a breakfast bar, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation, while a breakfast nook offers a quieter spot for the first coffee of the day. A dedicated home office keeps work and paperwork apart from the bustle of family life.
The bedrooms follow a split layout for privacy. The main floor master suite, with its walk-in closet, sits apart from the two secondary bedrooms, a welcome arrangement for parents and for guests alike. Four full bathrooms and two half baths serve the household across its three levels, so busy mornings run smoothly. The bonus room above the garage works as a flexible space: a playroom, a media room, a studio or a guest retreat, ready to change as the family does.
Outside, this is a house plan with porches on every side. A wraparound porch joins the covered front porch, the covered side porch and the covered rear porch, while a deck and a balcony add more places to sit out on a summer evening. The attached 2-car garage has a front entry and space upstairs. The house has no basement and stands on the foundation as shown in the drawings; the plan is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and with 2×6 exterior walls on request.
