700 Sq Ft Small House Plan with Gable Roof and 3 Bedrooms

Plan 14647R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete family layout into 720 ft², wrapped in a bungalow and cottage character with European, traditional and transitional touches. A gable roof with a 7/12 (30°) pitch runs with its ridge parallel to the street, and the exterior walls pair stucco with fiber cement products. The house measures 37'2" wide and 21'3" deep, with a height of 16'8", making it a small house plan that keeps every room within easy reach.

The front door opens into a defined entry, which gives coats and shoes a place before the open floor plan begins. The family room is the heart of the house, anchored by a fireplace that turns a modest living space into a warm gathering spot on winter evenings. The kitchen shares this open concept area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation, and a breakfast nook offers an everyday spot for quick morning meals, homework or a slow cup of coffee. Large windows, including floor-to-ceiling windows, draw daylight deep into the plan and make the compact footprint feel generous.

All three bedrooms are clustered together, set apart from the living area so that the sleeping side of the home stays calm. The master bedroom sits on the main floor, as does everything in this single-level layout, which means no stairs at any stage of life. One full bathroom serves the bedroom wing, keeping the plumbing efficient and the floor plan simple. This arrangement suits a young family, a couple who wants a guest room and a home office, or anyone downsizing to a house that is easy to maintain.

Outside, a deck extends the living space into the open air for summer dinners and quiet evenings. The house is designed without a garage and without a basement, standing on strip footings, and it is also available with a slab foundation. The walls are built from aerated concrete block, with ceramic hollow block or wood framing available on request. For anyone searching for a 3 bedroom house plan with a fireplace and a cozy cottage look, plan 14647R brings a practical, well-proportioned home to life.
