Plan 8-1039 – Auburn Glen Homestead | New American – 4-Bed, 3.5-Bath, 3,200 SF

New American Home Plan with Timeless Traditional Appeal

A refined two-story New American house plan offering 3,200 heated square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a classic porch-forward exterior designed for modern suburban living.

This New American home plan blends the warmth of Traditional Colonial architecture with the clean proportions and livability today’s homeowners expect. From its symmetrical front elevation to its inviting covered porch and three-car garage, this design delivers enduring curb appeal paired with a highly functional interior layout.

Rooted in classic American residential design yet updated for contemporary lifestyles, this home is ideal for families seeking space, flexibility, and architectural character without sacrificing efficiency or comfort.

Exterior Architecture & Materials

The exterior showcases a thoughtfully layered façade that feels substantial and welcoming. Horizontal lap siding forms the primary exterior material, complemented by shingle-style accents in the upper gables for added texture and depth. A brick or stone foundation base grounds the home visually while reinforcing its traditional character.

• Lap siding with shingle gable accents
• Architectural asphalt shingle roof
• Covered front porch with square columns
• Three-car front-load garage with carriage-style doors
• Balanced window placement for symmetry and light

This combination of materials is characteristic of New American and Modern Traditional homes, offering timeless appeal that fits comfortably into established neighborhoods or upscale suburban developments.

Interior Layout Overview

Inside, the home opens to a flowing, open-concept main level designed to support both everyday living and entertaining. Sightlines extend through the main living spaces, creating a sense of openness while still allowing each room to feel defined.

• Approx. 3,200 heated square feet
• Two-story layout with generous room proportions
• Open kitchen, dining, and great room connection
• Private first-floor owner’s suite
• Secondary bedrooms and flexible spaces upstairs

Main-Level Living Spaces

The heart of the home is the great room, anchored by large windows that bring in natural light and provide views of the backyard. This space flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area, making it ideal for gatherings, holidays, and casual family time.

The kitchen is designed with both functionality and style in mind, offering ample counter space, a central island, and room for premium appliances. A walk-in pantry keeps storage organized and out of sight.

• Spacious great room ideal for entertaining
• Open kitchen with island seating
• Walk-in pantry for storage efficiency
• Formal or casual dining flexibility

Owner’s Suite Retreat

The first-floor owner’s suite provides privacy and comfort, separated from the main living areas. Generous square footage allows for a king-size bed and seating area, while the en-suite bath delivers spa-inspired functionality.

• Large bedroom with backyard views
• En-suite bath with double vanity
• Walk-in shower and optional soaking tub
• Expansive walk-in closet

This layout supports aging-in-place living while remaining attractive to families who value main-level convenience.

Upper-Level Bedrooms & Flex Space

The second floor houses three additional bedrooms, each with ample closet space and access to well-appointed bathrooms. A central loft or flex area can be used as a media room, homework zone, or casual lounge.

• Three secondary bedrooms
• Two full upstairs bathrooms
• Optional loft or bonus space
• Excellent storage throughout

Garage, Mudroom & Storage

The attached three-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, tools, and recreational gear. Direct access to the home leads into a mudroom designed to keep daily clutter organized.

• Three-car attached garage
• Mudroom with drop zone potential
• Additional storage closets throughout

Outdoor Living & Curb Appeal

A deep covered front porch defines the home’s welcoming presence, offering space for seating, seasonal décor, and neighborly interaction. The porch also enhances shade and weather protection for the main entry.

The rear of the home can easily be adapted to include a covered patio or screened porch, extending the living space outdoors.
