Single Floor Plan with Fireplace in Center of House and Garage

Plan 14513R is a 3-bedroom two-story house plan that lets light lead the way, from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the facade to the skylights set into its gable roof. Shaped as an L, this single-family home of 1748 ft² gathers its rooms around clean lines and generous glass, blending Contemporary, Modern, European and Transitional influences into an exterior where warm wood meets smooth stucco. The ridge runs parallel to the street and gives the house a calm, grounded profile, while the front-entry two-car garage extends forward and forms the short arm of the L, framing the approach to the front door.

Step through the entry and the house opens almost at once. The open floor plan lets the kitchen, the breakfast nook and the large family room flow into one another beneath vaulted ceilings, so morning coffee at the breakfast bar and homework at the table share the same light. A fireplace anchors the family room on winter evenings, and corner, panoramic and large windows keep the outdoors in view from nearly every seat. A walk-in pantry keeps the kitchen uncluttered, a home office offers a quiet place to work without stepping entirely out of the rhythm of the household, and a utility room with extra storage takes care of the practical side of daily life.

The split bedroom layout gives everyone a measure of privacy. The master suite sits on the second floor, a retreat with a walk-in closet and a balcony where the day can begin with fresh air before anyone else is awake. The other two bedrooms are kept apart from it, and with three full bathrooms there is no morning queue at a single door. It is a comfort that growing children, long-staying guests and visiting grandparents all come to appreciate.

Behind the house, a covered rear porch and an open deck carry the living space outdoors, ready for summer dinners, a rainy afternoon with a book or a quiet hour after the children are in bed. Built on a slab with a concrete stem wall foundation and without a basement, the home keeps family life on its two levels, simple to care for and comfortable in every season. Within 1748 ft², floor plan 14513R balances openness and retreat: a modern family house where light, warmth and everyday routines each find their natural place.
