A Main Floor That Delivers an Immediate Wow Factor
One of the first things that stands out in Strom 3 is its impressive open-concept living area. The living room features an approximately 20-foot cathedral ceiling, a fireplace and windows extending across two levels, creating a bright and spacious gathering place at the heart of the home.
The kitchen is equally well designed for everyday family life, with a large island measuring over 9 feet long and a separate walk-in pantry. Just steps away, the dining area opens onto a 17′ x 15′ covered rear terrace, naturally extending the living space outdoors.
But Strom 3 is about more than visual impact. The main floor also includes a spacious mudroom conveniently located near the entrance and double garage, a powder room and an efficient layout designed to make everyday comings and goings easier.

Upstairs, Everyone Has a Space of Their Own
The second floor of Strom 3 is dedicated to the home’s more private spaces. It includes the three bedrooms featured in the base plan, including a primary suite with a generous walk-in closet and private bathroom complete with a bathtub, separate shower and double vanity.
The two secondary bedrooms also feature their own walk-in closets, a particularly practical detail for a family home. A second full bathroom serves these bedrooms.
Beyond the bedrooms, a dedicated office nook provides a convenient place for working from home, doing homework or simply enjoying a quiet space. The upstairs laundry room, located close to the bedrooms, also eliminates the need to carry laundry between floors.
Finally, the opening overlooking the cathedral-ceiling living room creates a visual connection with the main floor and enhances the sense of openness that defines Strom 3.
An Optional Finished Basement to Expand from 3 to 4 Bedrooms
With three bedrooms upstairs, Strom 3 already meets the needs of many families. For those looking for a fourth bedroom and additional living space, an optional finished basement layout is also available.
This configuration includes an additional bedroom, a full bathroom and a spacious family room. A vestibule and mechanical room complete the proposed layout.
This option makes Strom 3 particularly appealing for families whose needs may change over time. The additional bedroom can accommodate a teenager, guests or a family member looking for more privacy, while the family room creates a second living space separate from the main floor.
The base plan includes an unfinished basement. The layout shown below therefore represents the optional finished basement configuration.
From Strom to Strom 3: A House Plan That Evolves with Families
Before Strom 3, there was Strom #3896, the original design in the series. This 1,912-sq.-ft. two-story Modern Scandinavian home features three bedrooms, a two-story living room and a single garage.
The concept then evolved with Strom 2 #3896-V1, which introduced a modern farmhouse style. At 1,845 sq. ft., this version places a strong emphasis on flexibility and can accommodate up to six bedrooms through the available layout options, including the basement.

With its 2,350 sq. ft., double garage and three bedrooms upstairs, Strom 3 brings together many of the features families look for in a new home. Its cathedral ceiling, office nook, generous storage and modern farmhouse architecture combine character with everyday functionality.
