Plan 12800R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that combines contemporary, European and modern design with a rustic touch, placing 1660 ft² of living space on one level beneath a gable roof with a 6/12 (26°) pitch. Wood and stucco share the exterior walls, giving the facade both warmth and clean, calm lines. The house is 65'0" wide and 38'8" deep, with a height of 21'6". The walls are designed in ceramic hollow block, and the plan is also available with aerated concrete or timber framing.
The front door opens into a proper entry, where coats and boots stay before anyone steps into the living spaces. From there, a closed floor plan gives each room its own character and purpose, which keeps sound and cooking smells where they belong. The large family room is the heart of the house, and this house plan with fireplace makes the most of it: a 2-sided fireplace warms the room and shares its glow beyond, a welcome sight on a winter evening. Floor-to-ceiling and panoramic windows bring in generous daylight. The large kitchen is built for real cooking, with an island for prep and casual meals, a walk-in pantry for supplies, and a breakfast nook set beside a corner window, a bright spot for the first coffee of the day. A separate home office lets remote work happen behind a closed door.
The three bedrooms are clustered together in their own wing, away from the daily activity of the kitchen and family room. The main floor master is close to the other bedrooms, a layout that suits families with young children. One full bathroom serves the bedrooms, while two half bathrooms take care of guests and busy mornings. A utility room keeps the mechanical equipment and household chores out of sight.
The house stands on a concrete block foundation without a basement, and it is also available with strip footings or a slab. A front-entry 2-car garage handles vehicles, bikes and storage. At the back, a covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors, sheltered from sun and rain and ready for summer dinners. Large windows, including a corner window, connect the interior to the yard. For a family that wants a one-story home with modern lines, a fireplace and a dedicated workspace, this floor plan delivers a refined, practical house.
