Garlinghouse Traditional House Plan 20055 with 1,701 Sq Ft, 3 Bedrooms, Split-Level Design and 2-Car Garage

House Plan 20055 from the historic Garlinghouse Collection blends timeless Traditional architecture with distinctive Retro styling in an efficient split-level home designed for privacy, comfort, and lasting family appeal. Offering 1,701 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an attached 2-car garage, and a basement foundation, this thoughtfully planned design maximizes every square foot while providing the separation of living and sleeping areas that has made split-level homes a favorite for generations. Ideal for narrow lots, this classic Garlinghouse design delivers practical living with enduring style.

The exterior showcases balanced Traditional proportions, clean rooflines, and understated architectural detailing that never goes out of fashion. The extended front-facing garage shelters the covered entry while creating a distinctive profile and maximizing interior living space. Its compact footprint makes this home an excellent choice for homeowners seeking generous comfort on a smaller homesite.

Inside, a welcoming tiled foyer opens directly into the formal dining room and impressive living room, where a soaring sloped ceiling adds volume and architectural character. Large windows fill the gathering spaces with natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere for everyday living and entertaining.

Adjacent to the dining room, the efficiently designed kitchen offers generous workspace and convenient access to a bright breakfast area surrounded by windows. This cheerful space is ideal for casual meals while keeping the cook connected to family activities and guests.

All three bedrooms are privately located on the upper level, creating a quiet retreat away from the main living areas. The owner's suite offers a comfortable escape, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests, or a home office. A skylight above the hallway brings natural light into the upper level and enhances the home's welcoming feel.

The attached 2-car garage provides secure parking and valuable storage, while the basement foundation offers future expansion opportunities for additional living space, hobbies, or storage as family needs change.

As part of the renowned Garlinghouse Collection, House Plan 20055 reflects more than a century of thoughtful American home design established by L. F. Garlinghouse. Combining efficient planning, timeless architecture, and builder-friendly construction, this split-level continues the Garlinghouse tradition of creating homes that serve families for generations.

House Plan 20055 offers classic Traditional styling, efficient split-level living, basement expansion potential, and lasting Garlinghouse quality, making it an outstanding choice for today's families.

They will show you the relationship and dimensions of rooms, closets and traffic patterns. The schematic of the electrical layout may be included in the plan.
