2-story, 3 Beds, 1.5 Baths, 1,684 sq. ft., Modern Craftsman 30x30 House Floor Plans: Cedar Lantern Craftsman

Last updated on May 19, 2026 · ⓘ How we make our floor plans

This is a compact two-floor house plan with 1,684 sq ft of total living area. The design keeps daily life on the main floor and places all three bedrooms upstairs. Sensible. Tidy. No hallway drama.

The facade presents a Craftsman-inspired character with strong front gables, a broad covered porch, and balanced window groupings. The lower level uses horizontal lap siding, while the upper gable faces feature warm shingle siding. Stone pier bases support square porch columns, adding weight and texture.

The roof is a dark standing-seam metal system with clean overhangs and crisp trim. Multiple gables give the home a lively profile without making it shout across the street.

We have more facade options of this design:

Burnt Umber Siding

The siding shift to burnt umber gives the facade a richer, earthier punch, turning the Craftsman front into something moodier and more grounded.

It deepens the shingle texture across the upper gables and the horizontal boards below, making the cream trim pop harder around the eaves, brackets, and window casings. Cozy got promoted.

With that darker skin, the black-framed windows read crisper and the standing-seam metal roof feels sharper, almost tailored. The front porch, with its stout square columns and stone bases, now looks more anchored to the site, while the centered wood door blends into the warmer palette instead of stealing the whole show like a diva.

Urbane Bronze Siding

The big change is the siding in Urbane Bronze, and it gives the facade a moodier, sharper Craftsman presence right away. That deep taupe-brown tone makes the layered front gables, shingle cladding, and broad porch massing feel more tailored and a little more “forest lodge with good taste” than rustic cabin.

With the darker siding, the black-framed windows pop harder, the metal roof reads crisper, and the natural wood front door becomes the warm star of the show. Even the stone porch piers look more grounded against it, while the exposed rafter tails and trim gain cleaner definition—same bones, slicker suit.

Dusty Blue Siding

The big change is the siding in dusty blue, and it gives the facade a cooler, calmer Craftsman mood right away. That muted blue settles beautifully over the shingle-clad upper story and the horizontal lower siding, making the layered textures read more clearly instead of shouting for attention—very polite, very handsome.

With the dusty blue in place, the dark window trim and standing-seam metal roof feel crisper, while the stone porch bases and warm wood front door pop like they planned this all along. The twin front gables, deep eaves, and sturdy porch columns still carry the classic Craftsman character, but now the whole front elevation feels more tailored and a touch more dapper.

Deep Navy Siding

The big switch is the siding color: deep navy now wraps the facade and instantly makes the Craftsman lines look crisper and more tailored. The front gables, exposed brackets, and shingled upper walls read with extra depth, while the lighter trim pops harder against the darker skin—very sharp, very composed, a little dressed up without wearing a tux.

That navy also changes how the rest of the front elevation plays together. The metal roof feels cooler and cleaner, the dark window frames blend into the composition for a sleek, lantern-like effect, and the warm wood entry door suddenly becomes the star of the porch.

Even the stone porch piers look richer beside it; the whole facade goes from cozy cabin to quietly bossy.

Olive Green Siding

The big change is the olive green siding, and it gives the facade a moodier, richer Craftsman look right away. It softens the house’s two-story mass while making the dark window trim, exposed brackets, and metal roof pop with extra crispness—like the facade put on a smarter jacket.

That olive tone also plays especially well with the stacked gables, the shingled upper level, and the stout porch piers with stone bases. The front door reads warmer, the windows feel deeper set, and the whole elevation looks more grounded and tailored, just with a bit more swagger.
