COOL Plan Description
Traditional House Plan 20226 with 2,021 Sq Ft, 3 Bedrooms, Fireplace, Formal Dining, Basement and 2-Car Garage
Here's a stellar Garlinghouse classic that shows just how much family living can fit into a smart 41-foot-wide footprint. Traditional House Plan 20226 offers 2,021 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an attached 2-car garage, fireplace, formal dining room, and 259 square feet of porch space. With nearly half the living area downstairs and half upstairs, this two-story design creates a choice balance between places where everyone gathers and a private bedroom level where family members can retreat.
Outside, House Plan 20226 delivers the confident proportions of classic Traditional architecture. A strong 10:12 primary roof pitch gives the home plenty of presence, while the porch adds welcoming character and useful outdoor space. At only 41 feet 4 inches wide, the house provides more than 2,000 square feet of finished living area without requiring an enormous lot, opening opportunities for established neighborhoods and moderately sized suburban properties.
Step inside and the 1,019-square-foot main level handles the action. Nine-foot ceilings add volume and help the gathering spaces feel more substantial, while a fireplace creates the warm centerpiece every family home deserves. It's ready for movie nights, holiday mornings, conversations with friends, or simply kicking back at the end of the day.
The formal dining room gives special occasions their own destination. Holiday dinners and celebrations don't have to compete with everyday activities for space, and homeowners who enjoy entertaining have a proper room for setting the table and bringing everyone together. It's the kind of purposeful planning found throughout classic Garlinghouse designs and one reason these layouts remain so interesting today.
Upstairs, another 1,002 square feet shifts the focus from gathering to privacy. All 3 bedrooms occupy this quieter level, allowing the main floor to remain dedicated to everyday living and entertaining. The owner's accommodations provide a comfortable retreat, while two secondary bedrooms offer room for children or guests. If household needs change, one can easily transition into a home office, study, hobby room, or other flexible space. Two full bathrooms upstairs and a convenient half bath downstairs keep busy routines moving.
The attached 480-square-foot 2-car garage handles protected parking while leaving useful space for tools, bicycles, lawn equipment, and weekend projects. And if you choose the basement foundation, there's approximately 992 square feet of unfinished area below the house. That's serious room for storage, hobbies, recreation, exercise equipment, or future possibilities where local building requirements allow. Crawlspace and slab foundations are available as alternatives.
House Plan 20226 comes from more than a century of Garlinghouse American residential design. Founded by L.F. Garlinghouse in Topeka, Kansas, the company built its reputation around professionally designed homes created for real families. That's exactly what makes this design worth another look.
Bring this Garlinghouse classic forward with today's materials, finishes, appliances, and technology, and you've got a righteous combination of Traditional architecture, efficient square footage, family-friendly separation, storage, and everyday comfort ready for another generation.
