Garlinghouse Country Farmhouse House Plan 24724 with 1,982 Sq Ft, 4 Bedrooms and Wraparound Porch
Garlinghouse Country Farmhouse House Plan 24724 captures the welcoming character of a traditional American farmhouse in a comfortable 1,982-square-foot, two-story design with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. A prominent wraparound porch, skylit screened porch, formal dining room, inviting parlor, spacious great room, and four upstairs bedrooms create a timeless home centered on family life, entertaining, and outdoor living.
The exterior immediately establishes the relaxed Country Farmhouse personality. A generous covered porch wraps around the home and continues toward the rear, creating both classic curb appeal and meaningful outdoor living space. There is room for rocking chairs, conversation, and quiet mornings while the broad porch reinforces the familiar proportions that have made farmhouse architecture an American favorite for generations.
At the rear, the porch experience becomes even more distinctive with a screened outdoor living area. A skylight brings natural light through the roof, helping this protected space feel bright and inviting. Use it for summer meals, reading, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying fresh air with additional shelter from insects and changing weather.
Inside, House Plan 24724 offers an appealing alternative to today's completely open floor plans. The formal dining room and parlor greet visitors near the front of the home, creating a gracious sense of arrival and giving special occasions their own setting. The parlor can also evolve into a reading room, music room, quiet sitting area, or home office as household needs change.
Farther inside, the spacious great room provides a relaxed destination for everyday family life. This separation between formal and casual gathering areas allows different activities to happen simultaneously without requiring an oversized home. Holiday dinners can occupy the dining room while conversation, games, or movie nights continue comfortably in the great room.
All four bedrooms are located upstairs, creating a dedicated sleeping level removed from activity on the main floor. The primary suite becomes a private retreat with a memorable skylit bathroom. Natural light from above enhances the bathing area, while a soaking tub and glass block shower bring distinctive Retro Garlinghouse character to the suite.
Three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for children, family members, or overnight guests. A centrally located hall bathroom serves these rooms efficiently. Four bedrooms within less than 2,000 square feet make this plan particularly attractive for households that want genuine sleeping capacity while maintaining a manageable footprint.
House Plan 24724 does not include an attached garage, allowing its wraparound porch and classic farmhouse architecture to remain the visual focus. Homeowners who need vehicle parking, workshop space, or additional storage can select a complementary Garage Plan. Save 10% when purchasing a house plan and garage plan together.
From the legendary Garlinghouse Collection, Plan 24724 reflects more than a century of thoughtful American residential design. Garlinghouse homes became known for combining appealing architecture with intelligent, livable floor plans, and this Country Farmhouse continues that tradition. Its wraparound porch, screened outdoor retreat, defined gathering spaces, four-bedroom layout, and enduring farmhouse character make it a timeless classic ready to welcome another generation.
