Beautiful Country House Plan with Two-Story Great Room, Loft & Unfinished Basement | 1,935 Sq Ft

This stunning country house plan combines rustic charm, spacious living, and modern functionality to create a warm and inviting family home. With 1,935 square feet of heated living space and a total structure size of 3,012 square feet, this thoughtfully designed residence offers flexible living areas, beautiful outdoor spaces, and timeless architectural appeal perfect for country, suburban, or scenic rural settings.

The exterior showcases classic country-style architecture highlighted by a steep 10:12 roof pitch, welcoming covered porch areas, and balanced proportions that create exceptional curb appeal. The charming covered front porch offers a warm and inviting entry while providing a relaxing outdoor space ideal for enjoying peaceful mornings or greeting guests. At the rear of the home, the spacious covered porch and outdoor fireplace create a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, dining, and year-round relaxation.

Inside, the open-concept floor plan creates a bright and spacious atmosphere designed for comfortable modern living. One of the home’s most impressive features is the dramatic two-story grand room, which creates a stunning focal point with soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and a beautiful fireplace. The vertical openness fills the interior with natural light while enhancing the home’s sense of space and elegance.

The gourmet kitchen is designed to combine style and practicality for everyday living and entertaining. A large kitchen island provides generous workspace and casual seating, while the convenient eating bar creates an inviting spot for family meals and conversation. The spacious walk-in pantry offers excellent storage for groceries, cookware, and kitchen essentials, helping maintain an organized and efficient kitchen environment.

The luxurious first-floor master suite provides homeowners with a peaceful private retreat designed for comfort and relaxation. The spacious primary bedroom includes a beautifully appointed private master bath featuring double vanity sinks and upscale finishes. A large walk-in closet adds generous storage and convenience while enhancing the suite’s functionality. The split-bedroom layout separates the master suite from secondary bedrooms, providing added privacy and a quieter living experience.

This country home includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bath, making it ideal for families, guests, or flexible living arrangements. Secondary bedrooms are comfortably sized and thoughtfully positioned for convenience and privacy.

The second floor adds valuable living space with a versatile loft area and bonus room that can easily function as a home office, media room, game room, guest suite, hobby area, or additional bedroom depending on the homeowner’s needs. The loft overlooks the dramatic two-story grand room below, creating a visually connected and open atmosphere throughout the home.

Practical features throughout the home improve everyday convenience and organization. A well-designed mud room helps keep the home tidy while providing additional storage and transition space from the garage and outdoor areas.

The unfinished basement with 9-foot ceilings offers excellent future expansion potential. Homeowners can customize this large lower level into additional living areas, entertainment rooms, fitness spaces, workshops, or storage depending on changing lifestyle needs. The basement significantly increases the home’s long-term versatility and value.

Outdoor living is a major highlight of this design. The covered rear porch with an outdoor fireplace creates an inviting atmosphere for gatherings, relaxing evenings, or enjoying scenic views in every season. These outdoor spaces beautifully extend the home’s livability beyond the interior walls.

The spacious side-load two-car garage offers 722 square feet of parking and storage space while maintaining the home’s attractive exterior appearance. The side-entry design enhances curb appeal and provides practical functionality for vehicles, tools, and outdoor equipment.

Built with durable 2x6 wall framing and a strong basement foundation, this home is designed for energy efficiency, structural reliability, and long-lasting performance. With its dramatic two-story great room, flexible loft and bonus spaces, luxurious master suite, unfinished basement, and inviting outdoor living areas, this country house plan delivers timeless beauty, comfort, and exceptional functionality for modern family living.

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!

All house plans sold by Archival Designs have been designed to comply with the International Residential Code (IRC) and to the local codes in the area where the designer resides or where the house was built.

 

Do your plans meet building codes in my area?

All house plans are designed to meet or exceed the national building standards required by the International Residential Code (IRC). Due to differences in climate and geography throughout North America, every city, local municipality and county has unique building codes and regulations that must be followed to obtain a building permit. Prior to purchasing a set of house plans, we recommend that you meet with your local building officials in order to determine the building requirements for your area.  It is the responsibility of the purchaser(s) and/or builder to ensure that the structure is constructed to meet the codes of their local area.  

Important Note:

  • Customers building in CA, OR, SC, WA, and NV: Our house plans do not meet Earthquake Seismic/Wind code requirements.
  • Customers building in GA, SC, FL, and NC Coastal Areas: Plans may have to be engineered to meet local Hurricane/Wind codes.
  • Customers building in AL, AZ, CO, CT, DE, FL, ID, LA, KY, MD, MA, MN, MI, NV, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, UT, WY, and VA: Plans may have to be engineered by a local licensed professional to meet local building codes. Please call your local building department before placing order.
  • Customers building in NV: NV law permits an owner or builder to build a house from their own plans. Contact your local building department to verify if our stock house plans will be accepted before placing order. 

 

Will the plans be stamped or signed by an architect or engineer?

House plans do not come stamped or signed by an architect or engineer.  Additionally, house plans typically will not include structural engineering notes/calculations. Please check with your local building officials to determine if a stamp is required. If required, the building department will only accept a stamp from a licensed professional in the state where the home will be built.

Depending on your city, county, and state building requirements, house plans may need to be reviewed by a local licensed architect or engineer for structural details and code standards before construction begins. This is particularly true in coastal areas and those facing seismic events, extreme winds, and heavy snow. If you are building in any of these areas, a licensed structural engineer will likely be needed to provide the necessary calculations and additional drawings. We authorize the use of our plans conditioned on your obligation and agreement to strictly comply with all local building codes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements, including permits and inspections at the time of and during construction. We recommend checking with your local building department for the most current requirements.  The purchaser(s) and/or builder are responsible for additional expenses incurred through meeting municipality requirements or other requirements for construction.

 

Will the foundation included in the construction drawings work for my site?

Our foundation plans have been designed for universal conditions and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific site conditions. The foundation should be modified by a local structural engineer to comply with soil testing laboratory findings and local building requirements.

   

Do your plans include electrical, plumbing and mechanical drawings?

Our house plans will include schematic electrical drawings; however, circuiting or wire sizing will not be included.  Your electrical subcontractor will typically provide these drawings. 

HVAC and plumbing drawings are not included. Your mechanical and plumbing subcontractors will determine the best layout for your site.  Local HVAC codes, climatic requirements and commonly used systems vary throughout the country.  The direction of how water flow will enter the home vary from case to case. For this reason, it is impossible to provide universal plans.
