Exterior Design
This plan delivers **1,656 sq ft** of heated living space with a large **3-car garage (~682 sq ft)** built in. Exterior siding and roof are shaped in the barndominium-farmhouse style: simple gables, clean lines, and a deep, covered front porch (about **8 ft deep**) that spans the front. The roof uses trusses, and the primary roof pitch is **8 on 12**, with secondary pitches at **4 on 12**. Exterior walls are framed with **2×4**, optional upgrade to 2×6 for better insulation.
Interior Layout
From the front porch, French doors open into a vaulted living room which forms the central gathering space. The layout is open: living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together, letting natural light and social interaction thrive. The kitchen is near the garage entry, making tasks like unloading groceries easier thanks to a mudroom/laundry/drop-zone combination there.
Private zones are split: two bedrooms plus a shared full bath sit on one wing; the master suite is on the opposite side for privacy. This wedge-layout helps reduce noise between sleeping areas.
Floor Plan:
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The home has **3 bedrooms** and **2 full bathrooms**. The master suite includes a tray ceiling, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet accessed through the master bath. The other two bedrooms share the second bathroom.
Living & Dining Spaces
The vaulted living room is a standout feature—high ceiling, front-facing French doors, strong sight-lines toward the dining and kitchen areas. These design choices make the home feel roomier and more open.
The dining area is located adjacent to the kitchen, facilitating easy movement between food preparation and eating. Thanks to the open layout, entertaining is seamless.
Kitchen Features
The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry, and is positioned near the mudroom/garage entry, making logistical flow more practical. There’s also a drop-zone, lockers, and a large work sink in the laundry/mudroom area, which double-duty for utility and storage.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
A front porch about **8 ft deep** provides a sheltered outdoor space to greet guests or sit and relax. It spans the front of the home and connects into the living room through French doors.
Garage & Storage
The attached 3-car garage (~682 sq ft) is significant—the space is large, accessible through the mudroom, and helps keep vehicular storage separate from living spaces.
Inside storage is designed with care: the mudroom/laundry/drop zone, walk-in pantry, bedroom closets, and built-in lockers ensure functional storage without wasting prime living space.
Bonus/Expansion Rooms
No separate bonus or loft is formally included in the base layout. However, the vaulted ceiling height and optional wall framing upgrades (2×6) could allow for future adaptation (attic storage or loft) depending on local building codes and roof structure.
Estimated Building Cost
The estimated cost to build this home in the United States ranges between $550,000 – $750,000, depending on location, material quality, labor, foundation, and finishes. The large garage, vaulted living room, and barndominium style detailing will tend to push costs toward the higher side.
In summary, Plan 52326WM is a well-balanced barndominium-farmhouse design that delivers strong curb appeal, functional layout, and a mix of open communal spaces and private retreats. With its 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, generous garage, and thoughtful detailing, it’s ideal for someone wanting rustic charm married with modern livability—without overshooting 2,000 sq ft. Warm, stylish, and built to last.
