This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
You have two options for modifying this house plan:
1. Order modifications from the original architect. Purchase the modified Digital Concept and send it to your local architect to prepare the Construction Documents.
2. Work with your local architect. Purchase the original Digital Concept without modifications, then ask your local architect to make the changes and prepare the Construction Documents.
Plan 16672R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that blends Bungalow, European, Lake and Traditional styling into a relaxed family home of 1286 ft². A hip & valley roof with a 6/12 (26°) pitch tops the L-shaped footprint, and the facade pairs wood with stucco. The house measures 39'0" wide and 61'9" deep, with a height of 20'0", and keeps every room on one level, so daily life flows without a single stair.
The entry leads into an open floor plan where the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook work as one connected space. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace, and large windows, floor-to-ceiling windows and a corner window draw daylight across the main living area. The kitchen is built for everyday cooking: an island offers room to prep, serve and gather, while a walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight. The breakfast nook is the natural place for quick weekday coffee and long Sunday mornings. If you are looking for a house plan with fireplace, this design goes further, with a two-sided fireplace and an outdoor fireplace in its list of features.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, with the master bedroom on the main floor next to the secondary rooms, which keeps parents close to younger children. Two full bathrooms serve the household, so busy mornings run smoothly for everyone. A utility room gives space for household equipment and chores away from the living areas, and the defined entry helps keep coats and shoes in order.
Outside, a wraparound porch welcomes guests at the front, while a covered rear porch offers a sheltered spot for meals and quiet evenings in the open air, and the outdoor fireplace makes cool autumn nights outside easy to enjoy. The front-entry 2-car garage extends forward of the main body of the house. The home has no basement and stands on strip footings, and it is also available with a slab foundation. The exterior walls are built of aerated concrete block, with clay hollow block and wood framing available on request.
