Plan 14411R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan in a European and Traditional style, offering 1673 ft² under a steep 10/12 (40°) gable roof with dormers and a skylight. The ridge runs parallel to the street, so the facade reads broad and composed, finished in stone/brick veneer and stucco. This single-family home measures 42'4" wide and 31'3" deep, with a height of 25'9".
The entry leads into an open floor plan that brings the family room and kitchen together in one connected space. The fireplace in the family room anchors the seating area and makes it the natural place to gather on a cold evening. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw daylight deep into the rooms. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings and quick weekday meals. A separate home office gives a quiet place to work, study or keep household paperwork in order.
Three bedrooms share two full bathrooms. The layout combines clustered and split bedrooms: some rooms sit close together for a family with younger children, while the bedroom with the walk-in closet gains more privacy. The dormers and the skylight bring light into the rooms under the roof. Laundry is in the utility room, and a dedicated storage room keeps seasonal items, luggage and sports gear out of the living spaces.
The front-entry garage holds one car and has space upstairs above it, an advantage few garages of this size offer. A deck extends the living area outdoors for summer dinners, and a balcony adds a private spot to enjoy the view. The house has no basement and stands on a bored pile foundation, with exterior walls of calcium silicate block. Slab, strip footing and block foundations are also available, as are aerated concrete, ceramic block and frame wall construction. For a family looking for a house plan with fireplace, a home office and an attached garage, this 3-bedroom 2-story house plan balances comfort and practicality.
