European Barnhouse Plan with Rear Porch and 3 Beds Upstairs

Plan 14116R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that pairs modern farmhouse lines with a contemporary, European sensibility, arranging 1721 ft² over two levels beneath a steep 12/12 gable roof. Wood and natural stone clad the exterior walls, and the ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the gable end faces the road and the narrow house reads tall and composed. The home measures 25'9" wide and 47'9" deep, with a height of 26'5". Skylights set into the roof, floor-to-ceiling windows, window walls and panoramic glazing give it the view-oriented character of a mountain or lake home, built as a single-family residence for living in all year.

The floor plan follows a closed layout, so every room keeps its own purpose and its own quiet. An entry receives guests and shelters the interior from the weather before the house opens toward the large family room, the heart of the ground floor. A fireplace anchors that room, which makes this a house plan with fireplace in the truest sense: the place where winter evenings gather everyone. The kitchen is built for real cooking, with an island for prep and casual conversation, a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight and a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings. A home office gives remote work or homework a dedicated door to close.

All three bedrooms are clustered together on the upper floor, which keeps the private side of the house apart from the daily activity below. The second-floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, and two full bathrooms serve the bedroom level, while a half bath answers the needs of guests. A utility room handles laundry and household equipment, and the upper level also opens onto a balcony for a breath of fresh air with a view.

Outside, a covered rear porch and a deck extend the living space into the yard, sheltered dining and open sunshine side by side. The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation; the walls are designed in clay block, with aerated concrete or wood framing available on request. Designed without a basement and without a garage, this 3 bedroom house plan with 2.5 baths puts 1721 ft² entirely into living space, light and comfort.
