Garlinghouse Traditional House Plan 24552 with 2,074 Sq Ft, 4 Bedrooms, Study Option and 2-Car Garage
House Plan 24552 from the historic Garlinghouse Collection combines timeless Traditional styling with a flexible family-friendly layout designed to adapt as your needs change. Offering 2,074 square feet of thoughtfully planned living space, this inviting two-story home features 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and an attached 2-car garage. A versatile main-level room that functions as either a private study or fourth bedroom, dramatic volume ceilings, and comfortable gathering spaces make this classic Garlinghouse design an outstanding choice for modern family living.
The exterior presents classic Traditional architecture with balanced proportions and welcoming curb appeal that remains attractive through changing design trends. Designed with everyday comfort in mind, the home's efficient footprint provides generous living space while fitting comfortably into a variety of neighborhood and suburban homesites.
Step inside through the welcoming foyer where a convenient coat closet provides everyday functionality often missing from newer home designs. Ahead, the living and dining rooms share impressive volume ceilings that create an open, airy atmosphere filled with natural light. These elegant spaces provide the perfect setting for entertaining guests, celebrating holidays, or enjoying everyday family life.
The kitchen is designed for efficiency with abundant cabinetry, a practical corner sink, and excellent workflow. Conveniently located between the formal dining room and the bright breakfast bay, it allows meals to move easily from preparation to the table. Sliding glass doors in the breakfast area open directly to the backyard, deck, or patio, creating an easy transition for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The comfortable family room is anchored by a distinctive corner fireplace that adds warmth, architectural character, and a cozy gathering place throughout the cooler months. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this inviting space serves as the heart of the home.
One of the home's most valuable features is its flexible main-level room, which can function as a private home office, study, guest bedroom, or fourth bedroom. With a nearby full bathroom and closet, the space easily adapts to changing family needs, making the home ideal for remote work, multi-generational living, or overnight guests.
Upstairs, the owner's suite provides a peaceful retreat highlighted by a beautiful volume ceiling, spacious walk-in closet, and private ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms offer generous closet space and share a conveniently located full bathroom, creating comfortable accommodations for children or guests.
As part of the renowned Garlinghouse Collection, House Plan 24552 reflects more than a century of thoughtful American residential design established by L. F. Garlinghouse in Topeka, Kansas. Combining timeless architecture, practical planning, and builder-friendly construction, this classic family home continues the Garlinghouse tradition of delivering lasting comfort, flexibility, and enduring value.
