Craftsman House Plan with 3 Bedrooms, Recreation Room, Workshop, Stone Exterior & Open Living Design

This distinguished Craftsman residence combines the enduring principles of early twentieth-century American residential design with the spacious interiors and specialized amenities desired by modern homeowners. Characterized by its strong architectural presence, stone exterior detailing, and thoughtfully arranged living spaces, the home embodies the warmth, craftsmanship, and functionality that continue to define the Craftsman tradition.

Containing 2,535 square feet of heated living space, the residence is organized across two levels, with 2,140 square feet located on the main floor and an additional 395 square feet on the upper level. The home encompasses approximately 3,473 square feet under roof, including covered porches, garage space, and supporting areas. Measuring 59 feet wide by 70 feet deep, the design presents a substantial yet balanced footprint that is well suited to suburban neighborhoods, estate properties, and rural homesites alike.

The exterior architecture reflects hallmark Craftsman influences through its low, sheltering rooflines, natural material palette, and prominent stone detailing. An 8:12 roof pitch contributes to the home's distinctive silhouette while reinforcing the handcrafted aesthetic traditionally associated with Craftsman design. Constructed with durable 2x6 exterior wall framing and a crawl space foundation, the residence blends timeless architectural character with modern building performance. Rising to an overall height of 26 feet, the structure achieves a commanding presence while maintaining a welcoming residential scale.

A covered front porch establishes an inviting entrance and serves as a defining architectural feature. This transitional outdoor space reflects the Craftsman emphasis on connecting the home to its surroundings while creating a welcoming environment for residents and guests.

Inside, the floor plan is organized around a spacious open-concept arrangement that balances formal gathering spaces with casual family living. The great room serves as the central focal point of the home, providing a generous setting for relaxation, entertainment, and everyday interaction. Anchored by a fireplace, the room creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere while reinforcing the sense of permanence that is characteristic of Craftsman interiors.

Adjacent to the great room, a keeping or family room provides an additional gathering area, offering flexibility for households that desire multiple living spaces. This arrangement allows family members to enjoy separate activities while remaining connected within the overall flow of the home.

The kitchen functions as both a practical workspace and a social center. A large center island enhances meal preparation efficiency while creating opportunities for informal interaction. An adjoining eating bar offers casual dining accommodations, and a spacious walk-in pantry provides exceptional storage capacity. The open relationship between the kitchen, family spaces, and dining areas supports contemporary lifestyles while preserving the home's welcoming character.

A formal dining room introduces an element of traditional elegance and provides a dedicated setting for family celebrations, holiday gatherings, and entertaining. Positioned conveniently near the kitchen, the dining room contributes to the home's balanced combination of formal and informal living areas.

The private owner's suite is located on the first floor, providing convenience and long-term accessibility. Designed as a comfortable retreat, the suite includes a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a private bath featuring dual vanities and thoughtfully arranged fixtures. Its separation from secondary bedrooms enhances privacy and comfort.

The residence includes a total of three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, offering accommodations that support both family living and guest hospitality. The upper-level living area expands the home's flexibility and can serve a variety of household needs.

Among the home's most distinctive features are its dedicated recreation room and workshop. The recreation room provides a versatile environment for entertainment, hobbies, gaming, fitness, or family activities, while the workshop offers valuable space for woodworking, crafts, repairs, or specialized projects. Together, these spaces significantly enhance the home's functionality and appeal to homeowners seeking more than traditional living accommodations.

Additional practical amenities include a utility room and an attached front-entry two-car garage containing approximately 547 square feet. Outdoor living opportunities are further enhanced by a rear patio and covered porch areas that encourage relaxation and entertaining throughout the year.

Combining authentic Craftsman character, modern open-concept living, and specialized recreational spaces, this residence offers a thoughtful blend of architectural beauty and everyday practicality. Its stone exterior, luxurious owner's suite, recreation room, workshop, and inviting gathering spaces create a home designed to provide comfort, flexibility, and lasting value for generations.

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 Craftsman House Plan with 3 Bedrooms, Recreation Room, Workshop, Stone Exterior & Open Living Design 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 Craftsman House Plan with 3 Bedrooms, Recreation Room, Workshop, Stone Exterior & Open Living Design 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 Craftsman House Plan with 3 Bedrooms, Recreation Room, Workshop, Stone Exterior & Open Living Design 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.
