Contemporary House Plan with Walkout Basement & Deck | 3 Bed, 3.5 Bath Home

Contemporary House Plan with a footprint of 48 ft in width and 80 ft in depth utilizes a walkout basement to maximize total living potential. Spanning 1,720 sq ft of heated living space on the main level, this design provides a low-profile silhouette with a maximum building height of 18 ft 10 in. The exterior is defined by a 2:12 and 3:12 roof pitch, contributing to a clean, modern aesthetic suitable for varied terrain.

The main level floor plan prioritizes sightlines across the central living core. A large great room serves as the primary gathering zone, which integrates directly with the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen is equipped with a large central island and an eating bar, providing an efficient workspace. A first-floor master suite is positioned for privacy, offering a dedicated retreat away from secondary bedrooms. In total, the home includes 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom, ensuring a balanced distribution of private and shared spaces.

A significant portion of the home's utility is derived from the 1,720 sq ft walkout basement. With a 9 ft ceiling height, this lower level mirrors the footprint of the main floor and provides direct access to a 680 sq ft rear patio. This level offers versatility for future expansion, recreation, or storage needs. The inclusion of 1,544 sq ft of unheated under-roof space further enhances the structural capacity of the design.

Structural integrity is maintained through 2x6 wall framing and stick roof framing. Both the main floor and basement levels feature 9 ft ceilings, which enhance the interior volume and natural light penetration. The home includes a 720 sq ft front-load 2-car garage, positioned to maintain a compact street-facing profile while providing reliable access.

Outdoor utility is expanded by a 144 sq ft covered front porch and a 680 sq ft rear deck, facilitating a strong connection between the interior and exterior environments. These spaces provide multiple zones for relaxation and outdoor activities, rounding out a design that emphasizes both spatial efficiency and modern utility.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 1,720 sq ft main level, 1,720 sq ft walkout basement, 9 ft ceiling heights, 2-car front-load garage, open-concept kitchen with island, first-floor master suite, 2x6 wall framing, 680 sq ft rear deck.

Review image
JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. This home has outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us. I work from home so having the home office off the foyer is fantastic. I converted the wet bar into a storage closet for my office. We also extended the laundry room into the porch and created a multipurpose laundry/mud room. I would buy from archival designs again and again.

It took almost a year to pick a plan. Since my husband and I retired a few years ago we wanted this last house had to have everything we wanted and needed. The kitchen is my favorite part of the house. I can see what’s happening in my neighborhood through my kitchen window and watch my husband garden in the back yard. Our children think we made a smart decision when we picked this house for our senior years.

We’ve had an amazing experience with our new home and are excited to be moved in. The customer service we received during our modifications was exceptional. We are loving the open layout of the kitchen and family room. It feels spacious and I’m already planning on hosting holiday dinners at home. We recommend Archival Designs to anyone interested in building the home they’ve always wanted!

We absolutely adore the Kildare Place house plan. Made some modifications to make this home ours! Our house is the talk of the neighborhood. We host big parties every holiday and still get compliments from our friends and family. We searched for months and looked through hundreds of floor plans and this one had almost everything we wanted, and with the help of the great staff at Archival Designs we got exactly what we wanted!

FAQ

Can I modify this Contemporary House Plan with Walkout Basement & Deck | 3 Bed, 3.5 Bath Home now or later?

Absolutely. We offer in-house modification services to adjust layouts, room sizes, or expand garages before purchase. If you prefer to make adjustments during the construction phase, purchasing the CAD file package allows your local builder or architect to make on-site changes. Simply click 'Request a Modification' for a free quote.

How much will it cost to build this Contemporary House Plan with Walkout Basement & Deck | 3 Bed, 3.5 Bath Home and why aren't exact costs shown? 

Construction costs vary significantly ($150–$300+ per sq. ft.) based on your location, material choices, and local labor rates. Because site preparation and regional codes differ, it is hard to provide a universal cost always.

Will this Contemporary House Plan with Walkout Basement & Deck | 3 Bed, 3.5 Bath Home fit my lot, and can I add a basement or flip the layout?

You can check the 'Modifications' tab for width and depth requirements. To fit your site's orientation, most plans are available in a 'Right Reading Reverse' (mirrored) format. We also offer slab, crawlspace, and basement foundation adjustments for every design.

Do your plans meet building codes in my area and do I need a professional stamp?

Our plans meet or exceed national IRC (International Residential Code) standards. However, due to varying local requirements regarding seismic, wind (hurricane), or snow loads, house plans do not come with a professional architect’s or engineer’s seal. Most municipalities require a review and stamp by a local licensed professional to obtain a building permit.

Are plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical drawings included?

We provide the architectural and schematic electrical framework, but HVAC and plumbing layouts are not included. Because local codes and climate-specific systems vary significantly across the country, these are best finalized by your local subcontractors to ensure your home’s systems are optimized for your specific site and energy requirements.

Why should I choose Archival Designs and are the plans guaranteed?

With over 40 years of experience, Archival Designs provides high-quality, builder-ready designs that balance aesthetic elegance with structural integrity. We offer a Best Price Guarantee, a 10% discount for military and first responders, as well as builder discounts for life. And loyalty perks for pro builders. All plans are designed to comply with the IRC codes at the time of their creation. Learn more about our Best Price Guarantee.
