Cottage House Plan with Gambrel Roof and 1-Car Garage

Plan 13165R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan of 1664 ft² with a steep hip roof pitched at 10/12 (40°), dormers and a skylight, and a refined cottage look shaped by Classical, Greek Revival, European and Traditional design. A portico frames the front door, and the exterior walls combine smooth stucco with natural stone, so the house has the poise of a small manor without excess. The home measures 37'5" wide and 29'9" deep, with a height of 25'3".

The entry opens into a closed floor plan, where each room keeps its own walls and purpose. Families who value a quiet corner away from kitchen noise will appreciate this. The large family room is the heart of the ground floor, and its fireplace makes it the natural gathering place on winter evenings. The kitchen has a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings and quick weekday meals. For anyone searching for a traditional house plan with fireplace and clearly defined rooms, this layout offers both.

The master bedroom is on the second floor, and all three bedrooms are clustered together, so parents stay close to the children at night. A walk-in closet adds generous storage. One full bathroom and one half bath serve the household, and a utility room keeps laundry and household equipment out of sight. A sauna is rare in a house of this size and turns an ordinary evening into a small retreat. The dormers and skylight in the roof add character to the upper story.

Outside, a covered front porch welcomes guests, and a covered rear porch extends daily life outdoors in any weather. A balcony adds a private outdoor spot. The 1-car garage is attached with front entry and has space upstairs. The house has no basement and stands on strip footings, and it is also available with a slab. The exterior walls are built of autoclaved aerated concrete, and the plan is also available with clay block or wood frame walls.
